Sharing is Living

So this is day 30, and I just have to say that this diet is the best I’ve ever done. I might eat my words later, but I plan to do this forever. Yes, forever.

This diet plan makes me feel super. I’ve never felt so good (without regular exercise) in my whole life. Imagine if I stick to my workout routine. This lifestyle is it!

In the past 30 days, I cheated 5 times. Which isn’t too bad, I don’t think.

First one was on my brother’s b’day. We went to Korean BBQ place, and I ate only half of Bibimbap cuz everyone was taking some (!!), with no meat on it, only to eat a piece of the bbq meat later. It tasted good, but surprisingly I felt horrible. As in I kept seeing the cow being slaughtered in front of me.

Second cheating time was tasting my bro’s chicken satay. He’s doing a new venture, and was cooking up recipes. And it was really good! I would definitely buy them, they’re yummy. I ate 1 stick, with a spoonful of rice. I did have flashes of chickens running around.

Then third time is just few days ago, Mom and I went to Bakmi GM, and I ate capcay veggies. I also ate several spoons of her bihun noodles. Boy were they good, but an hour after I felt miserable, and my stomach was acting up.

Then fourth time was yesterday, I ate 1 big lumpia that my aunt brought from Semarang. Lumpia Semarang was my weakness, still is I suppose, so I couldn’t resist tasting this new lumpia.

Then fifth time was last night. Mom found a new place that sort of replaced Art and Curio in Menteng, and she brought some home. I ate 1 spoon of mashed potato, a slice of the beef, and a bit of gravy (no cow images this time). It’s not as great as Art and Curio, but respectable.

All in all, I gotta say I did very well! One month passed by so quickly! I ate few concoctions that were good, and some that were inedible. But all is good.

I got my routine down, I think. Morning would be green smoothies. Lunch would be fruits or salad. Dinner would be fruits or salad. And lots of fruits and nuts snacking in between. Almost every monday I’ve had Urap made for me, but instead of boiled, it’s raw. Extra crunchy, and still yummy! I’m getting bored of it now, though.

I’ve failed in the beans department. I’ve soaked some mung beans, normal beans, black soybeans, and soybeans, but I didn’t do much with them. They take too much work, and I don’t have the patience. I’m thinking of making rice milk, and soybean milk, but haven’t gotten around to them.

Also, mom went crazy over Alisa Cohen’s Caesars Salad dressing that I made. It’s good, but I just don’t understand why she likes it so much. She’s obsessed with it, and keeps on telling me to make her a salad.

That is all! All is well, blender is my new best friend, and fresh food 4eva!

I notice that I no longer obsessed about cooked foods, instead I’m more looking forward to raw foods as being the best choice for me. Whenever I cheated, I did it with heavy heart (well, except the lumpia). How cool is that, my whole outset about food has turned 180 degrees.

Oh, hm, if anybody knows how to stay being a raw fooder while traveling, please do let me know. I think travels gonna wreak havoc on my new lifestyle. Should I bring blender everywhere? That’s not much fun, is it?

WOW! I just completely forgotten about the one best thing about this diet. My eyesight has improved! I was gobsmacked when the Doctor wrote the prescription. I’m very shorshighted you see. Last time, my vision was -5.50 and -6.00. Now, get ready, they are -4.50 and -5.00.

How. Cool. Is. That!? I am speechless.

Fine, this isn’t done is some controlled test environment or what not, so I can’t really know what’s causing the improvement. But I would guess it’s the raw food diet. Each year they have been getting worse, and this is the only time that they’ve improved.
Green raw veggies, here I come!
