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.

Irish Breakfast!!

1 egg, over easy; 2 sausages; 1 piece of ham; a tiny bit of smoked salmon, on a piece of party rye (1g of sugar, pretty whole grain = LEGAL!); 2 pieces of irish cheddar; 2 roasted tomato halves, some mushrooms; some blueberries. ALL GOOD!

My only splurge was two small soda bread biscuits with some butter (okay), a spoonful of nutella, and a spoonful of jam. Pretty good portion control on the sweet stuff, but I still probably consumed a boatload of sugar. I was concerned that the soda bread was off limits, but, like a crazy person, I looked up the nutritionals for Bob's Red Mill mix, and as it turns out, they are pretty whole grain and have only 3g of sugar. In other words: LEGAL!!!

For lunch I had a salad with chicken and for dinner, another salad, also with chicken, and a manhattan. I also ate some weird (not good) low gi cookies, made with peanut butter, agave, and cocoa. Even the few chocolate chips I put in there didn't make them any better. They were so weird and puffy!
