By the way you're all a very interesting bunch (:
I'll start with day 6 that's all I can remember;
- Woke up, consumed 1 cup store bought pulp free orange juice on way to college (not from concentrate, but pasteurized.. my store (H-E-B) doesn't carry unpasteurized that I could find. Also the oranges here are either very acidic, or very watery and thick skinned. I also don't have a juicer yet (looking for a good one; going to go with a centrifugal masticating juicer I think). I also now know to 'sip' the juice throughout the day, as I believe all of the orange juice in masse is causing me to have headaches. I also sometimes put about 1/2 tbsp olive oil in it.
- Next meal was brazil nuts (preshelled.. I know, I know.. still got to find out where to get them unshelled from.. also I tend to eat like 20 of them in one continuous feast.. I can't get enough of them.. probably not a good idea). Also drank about half an entire carton of orange juice as fast I could (pulp free, no oil just the brazil nuts)
- Continued to drink more of the store bought OJ, no added fat
- Got home, consumed most of an hass avocado, with more OJ.
- Ate some more brazil nuts, almost the entire bag I bought this morning is empty now..
- A while later ate one banana (brown spotted, was good)
- Drank more OJ
On the other days, my diet was a little better, on college days I'm less organized, I usually eat some watermelon (alone), pineapple, way more bananas, occasionally a few bites of an orange, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and some stuff I can't remember.
Symptoms so far - I used to be chronically constipated, lived off an undersupply of grains and dairy, almost nothing else. All I drank was water, and not that much. It was horrible, I had gas all the time, still have minor gas, probably from the OJ or brazil nuts or unripe bananas I sometimes eat. I also still eat wayy too much at one meal, and plan to incorporate an RRM style intravenous injection 100 meals a day thing.
Have more acne than usual breaking out right now, even one on my bicep (well, there's not much bicep
) which has NEVER happened before so maybe my water retention is lessening. My skin feels softer at least.. I still have problems in the bathroom, constipation, I found something that really really helped was to start using an upside down laundry basket and put my feet on it, like the eastern peoples do to defecate. As I understand it, it aligns the colon or something so it all gets out easier etc, might want to look into it! (you didn't think toilet posture was natural did ya)Still, almost all my meals come out at once, with this diet it's usually 24-36 hours inbetween, used to be 48 or more so it's an improvement. Sorry if this is too revealing for a first date people. Also have a weird problem with my woody that's been going on since I was 16 - at the end of urination there's still some urine left that can only be helped out by pressing on the underside of the err, squirrelcasing. Sorry ladies. I think in men this isn't so rare? but for me it's every single time which I think is a problem.. It can't be a urinary infection though because there's no pain or anything, it's just an inconvenience, and it all feels healthy otherwise.
Now if anyone else is as daring as me (RRM, Oscar?) what color is your urine usually from OJ, I'm wondering if my store bought OJ is making it less pure (acidic like) than watery. And how many bowel movements per day usually? Hopefully it's more than one which has all those 100 meals in it at once right..?
Also, where in the world can I get some kind of man to deliver boxes of oranges to my house for juicing? Or is it better/cheaper to just buy cartons at the supermarket, what do you guys do? How do you know the oranges are ready?
How do you clean your ears? I have pain inside one of my ears and was told using those toothpick-cloth hybrid thingies only pushes some wax in deeper..
Another thing I haven't seen posted on here is to use an excercise ball as your computer/office chair.. I know it's kinda weird but it really helps your back if you don't slouch, because constant movement helps your spine and basically whole skeletal structure. We all unlearn this behaviour when we're told to 'sit still' in class (can you remember haha). Lots of studies have shown that children instinctually know best how to carry their bodies if not manipulated by adults (monkey see, monkey do) like how they run, walk, sit (more like moving while sitting), etc.. just some food for thought.
I still can't 'feel' blood sugar dips/rises besides headaches, or when I stand up from laying down for a while, I almost blackout.. but never actually have. My last guru told me this is because the blood can't get to the head fast enough due to lack or delay in adrenaline or something, which means impaired adrenal gland? or maybe my drinking oj is frezeeking up my body? (didn't use to get these as much)
I thought I'd have a lot stronger withdrawals to munch food, but so far I've been perfectly strict except that I sometimes can't get good quality stuff like OJ or good bananas or good brazil nuts (unshelled).
Passing the bakery part or meat part of supermarket is tough though, smells so good.. But I just don't look at it and think of what fruit I want most.. usually it tends to be OJ or avocados.
I haven't incorporated the eggies into my diet yet, or raw fish (where the freezeek can I get raw fish????, those little counters in supermarket where it's on display and you have to ask the guy with the chopper?)
Oh yeah, I also have extremeeelyyy poor air quality in my room which I'm almost always in and looking to get some freezeeking plants to oxygenate it up then when I'm rich I'll get a light ozone machine yeah I know you guys think that's dangerous for lungs but if you put it at the ceiling it reacts with air as it goes down, cleaning the air etc and it's not harmful, it's what happens when lightning strikes in thunderstorms.. natures 'cleaner' keeps plants healthy n stuff. It's also reallyy great at preserving produce, produce thats been bagged, watered, and ozonated lasts 2 weeks longer because ozone eradicates the bacteria that rot them (on the surface atleast). My old guru also suggested rectal insufflation of ozone at the right output with a true cold corona machine can cure cancer (healthy cells have antioxidants to deal with ozone cancerous cells don't). However allmost all (99.9%) of ozonotars, even the $10,000+ on the market don't use cold corona which requires old pig iron transformers and some other stuff so, basically noone has them except people who make them theirselves. (I don't, but I plan to when I get the money/time just incase). Anyway my point is, used right ozone may not be all bad.. food for thought..
I'm really looking forward to the egg yolks I have never had a raw one and already my body craves it lol.
RRM or someone can you tell me if the unripe bananas can cause gas? sometimes I eat 6-14 in a day usually in 2 seperate meals.. They also don't seem composed of alot of water? I remember the best bowel-state I had was when I ate nothing but honeydew melon, watermelon (seedless), oranges, cucumbers, water, and occasional OJ (nothing like now).
Another symptom is my teeth are way whiter and especially on the bottom (for top teeth) it's so white it looks like a problem, probably from all the store bought OJ (I didn't use a straw until today). I can't complain but maybe it's a bad thing.. the whiteness is splotchy not uniform..
Also sleeping is not good but also not bad, as opposed to on my whole fruit watermelon watery diet whereas I only needed 7 hours of sleep and woke up automatically. However I cannot eat watermelon in college and not be a freak so I need something easier/manageable.. Like orange juice is a completely solid bottle (they'll think it's water). Plus I felt like I wasn't getting enough nutrients with the melon-water diet, even though I felt good. Blood sugar spikes were also a problem but not as bad as this orange juice mistake I made (not sipping), probably because whole fruits had fiber to slow it down. Does fat slow sugar down as much as fiber?
Also I think I'm undernourished because I crave fatty things like avocado, brazil nuts, and have never succeeded on a fast even though I was strongly passionate about it.. it wasn't the junk foods I just felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open, as I use a computer all day I guess I need energy to keep them going, weird as it sounds since they're so little.
Oh yeah, I have bad eyesight, but hopefully I'll have a few months to spare to relearn to see properly (kinda like bates method, but it means little or no computer, tv, etc because I can't wear glasses, which will be tough)
One last thing, RRM, or Oscar, since you two have been on raw diet soo long, do you find that there is no more gas? or if there is, is it pretty much non offensive? also, how about sweat? is it pure enough that you wouldn't have to clean your clothes as much?
I ask because I read about a study where 5 scientists stayed in a completely isolated earth-dome-bio-ship (big building where they had no access to the outside but still on earth) where the entire ecosystem was inside and they were part of it, their feces/urine fueled the soil which fueled the plants which they consumed which they defecated, which fueled the soil which fueled the plants which they ate..and so on for 2 years, they came out, living off themselves all this time and their family got like 10 feet away from them and they gagged at the families impure smell. Which told me that perhaps the best way of eating will have a similar effect as in less noticeable odor from sweat, defecation, breath, etc.
Thanks! I know it's a long post but I didn't want to make a bunch of different ones and I wanted all of the offensive stuff I plan to ask to be done in one corner so maybe the ladies will overlook it
