Day 18

@ just 10 a.m., everyone around me at work is yawning, and they make a big fuss out of it, as if they wanted the whole world to know that they are bored, or tired, or lethargic.
Well they don't need to yell out loud because I am witness of their constant binging into sweets. I know exactly what the feeling is like, you get an initial rush of sugar to your blood, and then that is followed by hours of lethargy, lethargy that in my case, would not allow me to function properly.
Today I had the sweetest grapes I could have managed to find for breakfast. Of course I felt like crap after that. I thought fruits sugar was good for you, but maybe not that much.
Anyway, I always anticipate the effects that lethal amounts of sugar have on people's brains, so I know in advance that after a high sugar intake, any interaction with the self inflictors, must be kept to a minimum, simply because they are not rational anymore. One can expect anything from a nervous laugh to a sharp smart comment and so on, so it's better not to waste your time and avoid the sugar addicts after the intake has taken place. If one was really mean, one would just sit back and watch the reaction that gradually drags them from an initial and false sense of euphoria, slowly degenerating into depression. I know this very well as I used to be one of them.
So take a sip of your greens, plug in your ipod, and enjoy the ride into health.
After the grapes I had some sprouts, that made me feel alive again. But the high amount of sugar I took initially came back to knock me down once again, so I made the big mistake of having a coffee. I don't even know why I have it anymore, why do I bother if it does not even give me that rush that caffeine used to give me in the beginning!
Anyway, my energy keeps being sustained throughout the day. After walking back to the car after work, about a 30 minute walk, I took the doggies for a stroll of about 40 minutes.
It is time now to go to bed, I've been up for more than 17 hours and start to feel sleepy just now. I am finding that I need less sleep than before, hence why I now have time to update this blog. This is really cool.
Imagine what it would be like to follow this diet 100%? I am tempted but still a bit sceptical about not having fruit.
