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.

starting over.

Okay, did pretty well today, though I felt really hungry and that sucked.

-peanut butter/flax with 2 chocolate chips (I actually cut them up into small pieces. Pathetic)
-chinese chicken with brown rice, green beans, mushrooms and spinach, salad with romaine and half an avocado
-a mango
-an apple
-more chinese chicken

I'm banking on the fact that my chinese chicken thing probably has about 1/2 cup of rice per serving. I used 1 cup of dry rice, so I'm assuming that it probably turned into 2 - 3 cups cooked and I will make sure I get 4 - 6 servings out of it.

I got home and had a major snack attack! I had a little bit of sopressata and then I made some hummus and had a bit of that too. I also had a piece of cheese. I felt a little grossly full before bed.

I actually don't think I'm hungry -- I think it's just mental! When I suspected my feeling of "hunger" after lunch was just a faker, I drank water to test it out. My stomach felt full and I realized that this is just one of sugar's nasty tricks. I'm only two days back on the wagon, so I'm assuming I'll be better in another 2 or 3 days.
