drinking the green kool-aid

Green kool-aid is how I like to describe the cult-like experience of raw food, or really any crazy diet. People always seem half-fascinated and half-horrified by my commitment to cleaning my colon, so I thought I'd share my experiences in excruciating detail. As with any train wreck, it's hard to look away. Nonetheless, I've managed to pick up some comrades along the way, as a result of my dear friends' curiosity and solidarity. Others interested in drinking the green kool-aid, holla.

Day 2. I didn't go hungry!

Today was pretty easy. I had a decent breakfast and lunch, and even managed to go running after work! After running, I stretched a bit, and then started feeling really dizzy. I assumed it had to do with low blood sugar (see, that's how good I am at sugarbusters) so I quickly shoved a bunch of grapes in my mouth and that seemed to do the trick. Currently I feel pretty full.

This is what I ate:

--piece of frittata (eggs, kale, zucchini), nectarine
--more chinese chicken hot pot thing (about 1.5c, probably 1/2c of it was brown rice) --salad with peppers, radishes, carrots, celery
--two handfuls of grapes
--white turkey chili (about 2 cups), with a little yogurt (1/4 c) on top, sliced radishes, celery sticks
--a few spoonfuls of hummus, which I made myself!

In my first test of will, I turned down a spread of delicious looking pastries this morning. There is nothing I like more than a pastry first thing, but I stayed strong. It is only day 2, afterall.

I've had a moderately annoying headache for the past two days. I think it's too soon for sugar withdrawal, but who knows. Nothing else weird so far but I'll keep you posted.

I also read a lot about low carb tips and tricks this afternoon, (including making cauliflower "rice" and turning pecans into flour) but all I can think about is chocolate. And maybe cookies.
