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.

working for the weekend.

Weekends are hard, but I did okay.

Friday:
-peanut butter and flax with 3 chocolate chips and 2 chopped up walnuts for texture
-a few dried cranberries (I am sure these had more sugar than I should have had, but I only had like 5)
-kale/tomatoes/chickpea stew; 2 tiny slices of (LEGIT) cocktail rye, which is whole grain AND has minimal sugar. Whoo!
-chinese chicken, some sopressata, iced green tea
-a few more cranberries, some almonds, some milk
-two coctails, which were delicious. I'm sure sugar was involved.

I can feel my appetite dialing back. It's so weird to be so much more aware of this compared to last time. Also, the withdrawal is way, way easier. Sugar cravings were tough for the first three days, but are much better now. No killer headache this time around either.

Saturday
-some almonds, a small orange
-2 poached eggs, a whole wheat waffle with berries
-3 small pieces of cheese pizza (not legit!), salad
-1 dark chocolate heart

That waffle was way too big, and I felt stuffed and kind of gross after eating it, but at least it was 100% whole wheat. I shouldn't have eaten pizza for dinner, but hell, it's Saturday. I need a little break over the weekend.

Sunday
-some chinese chicken, a little bit of thai chicken (with a little white rice)
-snacks: sopressata, hummus, peach, almonds
-thai food: some beefy thing, a salad with ground chicken and eggplant + other veggies
-2 small fancy chocolate bars from vosges. Felt really excess to eat two, but one just did not cut it. Though, I just looked at the vosges website and apparently it was only an ounce of chocolate total, and that doesn't sound so bad, does it?
