I'm on day 3 of "detox" as I'm calling it. I have a splitting headache, thanks to no caffeine since Friday. I went cold turkey. I'm sure I'm hell to live with.
I'm sorry, but even vegans aren't this militant and radical about what they say NO to. As long as it's fair trade, I think most of them drink coffee. But I made a deal with myself to do this for three weeks and see how I feel at the end.
So far, I've not been starving. Tofu is now the number one staple in my diet. Yay, soy! I was saddened to learn that dried cranberries have added sugar, so ixnay on my favorite nuts-and-berries trail mix. Guess I'll have to concoct my own. My favorite recipe so far has been "tofu scramble" from the kitchen of Oprah's diet gurus. I'll post it sometime soon.
Forgive me if you're just not into these posts on my current wacky lifestyle choice. I'm sure it'll lose its quirky newness soon. I'm saving the daily food diary entries and most of my musings for my personal, hand-written journal. You're welcome, more than happy to spare you the banal details of my day.
I will offer up a few interesting recipes and food finds along the way. For example, I might describe the delights of millet bread. Tim picked up the loaf of wheat-and-gluten-free bread, with great effort, and groaned, saying, "Wow. Don't drop that on your foot. You'll lose some toes." It's actually quite grainy and tasty, with some Earth Balance vegan buttery spread and spreadable fruit.
Just take my word for it. Go eat your Whopper with cheese and curly fries, then. Be that way. (And enjoy a Diet Coke for me.)
