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 3.

Apparently fruit is to be eaten alone on this diet, which really burns my (low carb) toast. I often enjoy a piece of fruit with a meal (any meal! most meals!) and apparently I am going to have to temporarily quit this habit.

--piece of frittata (same one as yesterday)
--mineola orange
--more chinese chicken (including ~1/2c brown rice), salad (lettuce, radish, celery), kale chips (!)
--apple
--more celery and radishes with homemade hummus
--turkey chili with yogurt and cilantro

I also treated myself to a cup of black tea with skim milk. My headache is feeling a bit better today and I'm hoping my withdrawal symptoms should be behind me tomorrow.

Finally, in a moment of (restrained) weakness, I consumed approximately two big-ish spoonfuls of peanut butter and a small quantity (8 oz or less) of 1% milk. I pretended I was eating a cookie.
