Being healthy is a horrible thing
On Wednesday Abi and I started a detox/elimination diet. The goal is not to lose weight, but to find out which foods we have allergic reactions to. Issues like low energy, tiredness, brain-fog, insomnia, joint pain, etc, can all be symptoms of a mild food allergy. So this is a good idea, right? The answer is yes, except that it might kill me.
See, the problem is all these vegetables. I'm supposed to eat 2 cups of vegetables twice a day, which is a hell of a lot of vegetables. I do not normally eat vegetables, because most vegetables are gross. To make them not gross, I have to do (from Jamie standards) a ridiculous amount of cooking. Gross vegetables vs. lots of cooking . . . it's a toss up as to which one I like least. So I spent the last two days disliking my food, and today I will try the cooking.
Also? Having a diet that consists primarily of rice, vegetables, and a little fish is not helpful to my energy levels. I spent most of yesterday feeling like I might pass out. Or throw up. So I might be voluntarily killing myself. Whine, whine, whine.
Abi, however, is perfectly fine.
