The diet...

Last Monday Bevan and I embarked on a 28 day healthy eating plan, for 28 days we are to consume no meat (there are occasional allowances for chicken), no dairy, no bread, and no caffeine. We thought that we were strong and that we could conquer this diet but to tell you the truth it’s been bloody hard! Firstly the eating plan doesn’t really take seasonality into account, so were having to buy fruit and vegetables that are extremely expensive to fit the eating plan, secondly you can only eat beans for so many days in a row before you begin to crack. Ok, so over the time there are many different types of beans, however, beans are beans and there are only so many beans that one can handle. So on Saturday afternoon when we were meant to be soaking our mung beans for yet another bean attack we revolted and decided to take dinner from another day and have fish, hopefully this deviation wont cause an attack from the diet gods…

Apart from that I think the diet is doing things, people keep commenting that my skin looks better, which is pretty cool, plus I’m starting to notice that my pants are a bit looser which is also cool. So all in all the jury is really out, we are now at day 9, with 19 more days to go, we’ll just have to see how long we can last…
