2 fast, 2 furious: day 1
turns out that when you’re planning a fast, you should check your work calendar first. i have two work lunches this week. first work lunch was today and i only drank a cup of tea, much to the chagrin of the surly waitress. i don’t think you’re ’supposed’ to drink tea on a fast but i was cold.
today’s menu:
- breakfast: 2 bananas, 4 dates = 320cal
- lunch: 1 head lettuce, 1 head broccoli, 2 tomatoes = 150cal
- snack: 2 apples, 1 pear, 1 navel orange = 330cal
- dinner: 2 bananas, 3 dates = 250cal
total: 1050cal (probably not enough)
notes from day 1:
- i feel a little hungry, but overall i’m fine.
- i really need to try to fit in another ~400 calories tomorrow. so i guess one more calorie-dense blended drink.
- the veggie dimsum at lunch and the the eggplant that mia baked herself for dinner both smelled awesome.
- i had a pretty intense massage tonight. my massage therapist is also doing a fast for the next two weeks. his is less restrictive. this week is no red meat/dairy. next week is vegan. dude has it easy.
