I think the healthiest time in my life was when I was a vegetarian. My body felt good, my mood was better and my mind was focused. Whenever my body feels awful I think about how detoxing with a month or so of veggies would be great. So today I started.
On my way to work I picked up a small container of strawberries from a local farm and 2 containers of basil seaweed from my favorite vegetarian restaurant. I have a bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice and I'm hoping it'll all get me through the day. When I get home I'll probably have some soba noodles.
I realized that part of being a successful vegetarian is to give up any notion of the Standard American Diet which usually comprises of some protien, a carb and a vegetable side. Indeed we can subsist on fruits and vegetables alone.
Today I feel lighter already and have already taken in more water than I normally would. I'm not even going to think about the calories.
