So while having a conversation with Ann over milkshakes I expressed my curiosity to attempt the diet from Mireille Guiliano's French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure. After indulging in far too many sour patch kids this weekend the detox of two days of leeks attracted me. Ann made mention that "for a nutrition school there really isn't enough fad dieting going on." So in sort of a Julie & Julia-esk spirit I decided I would attempt several of the fad diets out there and blog about them... Starting with my 2 days of leeks and leek water (And no Ann, there is no butter involved). I don't have a desire to lose weight nor do I believe in dieting, but I figure it'd be fun to attempt the recommendations that the popular media is throwing out there. I lack serious self-control so this should be interesting. I also will not be eating anything that is frozen (think lean-cuisine). Here is a list of some of the diets I will be choosing from http://www.webmd.com/diet/evaluate-latest-diets. Also if I get too crabby and my lack of eating starts messing up my running I will have to abandon my project. Just had my last snack: PB&J
As a nutrition student, i feel compelled to say that this is a really dumb idea. also, since i am the one who encouraged it in the first place, i have to say it is awesome and i wholeheartedly support it. I'm going to ask Liz how long it will take me to turn orange in solidarity.
ReplyDeletealso i decided my lunch is actually not that different from leeks dressed with lemon anyway. except for the variety, and goat cheese.
I am hungry and sleepy... although not anymore than normal.
