Yes it has been a long time. In between jury duty and storage training I have been actively avoiding people asking me about my diet. I have even avoided answering phone calls from family. How do you explain after awhile you just do not want to talk about food. Now that I am approaching the end of this diet I feel so much better. Today I am excited about going home and eating some noodle soup and broccoli. From here on out it is a meal a day to get my stomach back in the habit of eating. I started this last week and it has been a joy and a curse. The joy is actually chewing something. The curse is that your body is completely out of the habit of processing food.
I have also noticed that I do not like the taste of some things like I use to. On Friday I had some beef for the first time in 2 months and I really did not enjoy it that much. Chicken has a better taste but I have to say so far it is seafood that is the best to eat. In my soups I will put some shrimp in or an egg and the taste is amazing. I however am still juicing. I do not think I will ever stop juicing. It is almost like an elixir of life. I feel great and if I do not feel like cooking in the future a little juice goes a long way.
Now I am trying to concentrate on eating going forward. Fruits and veggies are a given but I need to work out what I like and what is easy to make for a life on the go. Honestly we all have to start thinking about heart health and our own well being as we go into another stage of life. If I could go vegan I would however I like my meats. I may not do meat every day but I can see myself doing it once and awhile.
Whatever happened to Nick? Was he eaten by the carrot monster, bent on revenge? Was it an unfortunate blender accident? Or did this experiment in time without bacon anger the Gods so much that they smote him with a Buick?
