Eat to live

A friend recently persuaded me to do the Eat to Live diet. This morning we talked about spinach smoothies and meditation - he's 2/3 months down the line already and not on the really strict 6-week initial plan, but he's meditating for 2 hours every day and swimming for an hour - all this from a man who travels more than anyone I know and who used to drink lots and play a LOT of online games.

I ordered the book online a few weeks ago and started the diet on Tuesday. Basically this is a fruit and veg only diet. Fruit for breakfast, salad with beans for lunch and salad with steamed veg for dinner. The only thing I'm really craving is a big hunk of cheese, but other than that, it has been relatively easy. I haven't been out yet, though, and I'm hoping that I don't fall off the wagon next week in Cape Town.

I'm not going on the diet only to lose weight (although I could lose a few pies I know) - I've had loads of stomach problems after I got bilharzia last year and many travel bugs before that, and I'm hoping that this will sort them out and keep me from getting sick.

Here goes!

Awesome!!

I also eat vegetarian, so at least I can support your good meal choices at the dinner! The Stormhoek might pose a threat though, and I've been known to be susceptable to it in the past!
