As I reported yesterday I had a royal headache most of the day yesterday, and today I am extremely happy to report that I barely had any at all! Yeah…my friends told me it may have to do with the detox thing. Maybe, or maybe not – either way, I’m a very happy person when my head doesn’t hurt.
DINNER LAST NIGHT
Last night when Randall and I went out for dinner, it was really hard to actually order anything on the menu the way they prepared it. So I asked for my meal to be made specifically and they were very happy to do it. I ordered a plain (boring) hamburger, wrapped in lettuce with grilled onions. (I LOVE grilled onions! And Randall doesn’t like onions 
)
And I also had some steamed vegetables….and the only issue I had with that was the carrots. I’m not crazy about carrots. But the squash, cauliflower and broccoli were pretty good. Well, except the broccoli was rather dry….it could’ve been steamed more.
EATING TODAY
Today is day 3 of the shake thing and so today I had two of the carob shakes and one of the apple cinnamon banana shakes. Yesterday I didn’t have any bananas because I learned not to freeze the bananas in the peel, because when the bananas thaw out they turn to mush.
Anyway, I’m feeling pretty good. I’m trying not to get bored with the food and it helps to have a variety of things to choose from.
I don’t think most people realize how little what Americans eat is actually “real” food. Practically everything is processed and if it’s not processed it’s not organic. The chicken and beef we normally eat has had hormones injected into the meat, and depending on whether or not your system can handle it will determine how well you digest it. It’s a very interesting thing.
In fact, in biblical times, the main diet was grains, fish, fruit and vegetables. And today, unless you’re extremely intentional, it’s anything but these things.
So one of the things I am focusing on is how Daniel, in the book of Daniel in the Old Testament, chose to eat the natural way as opposed to the King’s banquet foods. I think there’s a lot to say about Daniel and his friends and what they did – even separating themselves from the culture of food of the day…and they were healthier in the end.
