i did so in spectacular fashion. it started yeserday w/ a bite of pumpkin cheesecake that turned in to a nice slice. then this morning after my usual breakfast, & trip to alemany farmer market - i had to stop by sandbox bakery in bernal. the ginger scone was waving @ me so i thought ok, i'll eat just the outside. hahah. from there it was dinner @ san tung - my fave asian restaurant in sf, w/ noodles everywhere. the bad news is i feel uncomfortably full, like a big pregnant lady. but i'm not too worried b/c i WANT to get back on the wagon.
i'm the slacker element of this cleanse, i kept my green tea & morning yogurt, never checked labels for trace wheat or even sugar. but i've been pretty happy w/ readjusting the way i eat - now i think of a proper meal as being 80% veg. i don't the miss cheese, milk or eggs.
my big issue is fish. i've hankered for salmon & sardines these past few weeks & i'm not sure what i'll do. the jonathan safran foer book immediately convinced me to come off meat- but i'm having a harder time w/ fish. so i'll continue to mull that over.
and my other big issue are the baked goods. in theory, a bite should be enough, but the slippery slope starts early, so i know it's better to just lay off altogether. i can't say the urge for all that completely disappeared, but it was not as much an addiction as it was before. raw recipes might be the answer.
best of all -this has been way more fun that i imagined! if anyone is up for a january detox cleanse i'm in! (i found this great book - supercleanse by adina niemorow has many different plans. i know, i'm a joiner @ heart). -- yunah
