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.

OMG -- It's on! (Again!)

Okay, I am doing sugar busters again. After a long summer (and fall) off the wagon, I have regained all of the weight I lost, plus I'm back to craving sugar and being hungry ALL THE TIME. I hope to get back to where I was last winter and I felt awesome, in pretty much every way.

Let's recap the rules:

No sugar (this includes white and brown), no honey, no molasses, no maple syrup.
No white pasta, potatoes, or rice.
No bananas, beets, turnips, parsnips, or corn (of any persuasion).

Red wine is okay, but not beer.

Carbs are okay, but only if they are whole grain (brown rice, quinoa, etc) and even then, only 1/2 c. at a time, twice a day max

Two pieces of fruit per day, max. (But no bananas, raisins, pineapple, or watermelon)

I'm going to mostly avoid wheat, but not kill myself to do so.

I weighed in at 131.5, which is really high for me, but also my body's go to weight when I eat whatever I want and stop exercising. My goal is to get down to 124, for a total of 7.5 pounds lost.
