detox day 1

guys, detox is actually like really hard! I mean i knew it was gonna suck a little but i didnt' realize how hard it would be. i opted not to do the whole 10 day lemonade cleanse thing (lemons, water, syrup, and cayenne pepper) because i don't have that kidn of time to give to starvation so i think jen is gonna do a 3 day lemonade cleanse with me this sunday. But like i'm doing this other cleanse which is just herbs and veggies so here is what it entails.

do not drink anything 1 hour before you eat because it will water down your stomach acids...true story guys

wake up and drink 3 glasses of water (1 with half lemon squeezed in it).
- 1 hour later eat 1 fruit...banana whatevs
- 20 minutes later eat bowl of quinoa or some other weird grain. Quinoa is pretty filling but to now avail. i was still hungry come noon
- noon - eat 1 to 2 bowls of steamed veggies. So today i ate one bowl cuz it seemed like a huge bowl (yams, potato, cabbage, zucchini, eggplant, basically everything in my fridge) but i was starving by 4:30.
- found a nectarine in my bag and ate it (thank goodness it was there!)
- at 6 i ate the same thing.
2 times in the middle of this day you drink the water that you steamed your veggies in. It tastes liek broth...not too awesome.
supplements are like multivitamin, psyllyium, acidophilus, and various teas made of like all kinds of roots and shit.

the weird thing is i had a lot of these things already. go figure! but anyways i think this is gonna be liek alcoholism, a day to day thing. Like "today i won't eat meat" or "rice" or "pasta" or "toast." but yeah i was hungry so and it made me realize that a) i probably over eat as does everyone in this fucking country a b) maybe i should learn to subsist on less, or something. i mean i don't know.

so i think tomorrow i'm gonna eat 2 servings of veggies and see if i feel fuller.

i'll let you all know how it goes and maybe tell you about all these herbs i've learned about and their benefits.

PS i don't know if it's cheating but i came home and ate a handful of nuts. this couldn't have been bad.

But overall i feel like...i don't know how to describe it. you know how alot of times after you eat you feel full and totally gross at the same time? I don't feel either of those.
