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 7. Week one: accomplished!

--frittata: a slightly new one, with zucchini, chard, and a hint (1 T) of cheese. This one isn't burnt, so it's way better.
--grapes
--tea with milk
--chinese chicken
--nonfat cottage cheese (1/2 c)
--cheddar cheese stick (not a large quantity)
--handful of almonds
--spoonful of hummus

I was babysitting and I turned down some yummy snack options and brought my own dinner. That said, I had about 3 butternut squash gnocchi since the baby was really enjoying it and I was jealous.

Other than the fact that I really miss chocolate, I don't feel all that deprived. All of this protein is keeping me pretty sated. I even read a long NYT article about modern medicine's "oopsie" of recommending low fat (and high carb) diets. Now everyone's fat and diabetic.
