It’s over, and I’m glad. The raw food wasn’t all that bad. Except for Tuesday’s menu, which I didn’t care for, the food was overall decent and interesting. The sweets tended to be my favorites, then the crackers. I can make salads and buy fruits myself, so I don’t need Karyn to help me out there. Most of the other dishes tended to be overdone, overspiced, and overthought. I honestly didn’t notice much benefit, and pretty much had an upset GI tract the whole week.

So, back to normal. I made a latte this morning and enjoyed it. I bought some ground bison over the weekend and have enjoyed some lean, fine tasting burgers. I’ve made my own salads with tomatoes and arugula and they were better. I indulged in some coffee and coconut gelato. My main problem right now is just portion control. I’ll give Karyn props for that. Having my meals measured and packaged individually by item certainly helped me control my appetite… though, it was an awful waste of packaging.

So, it was an interesting experiment, but I’m pretty happy with the way I’ve been eating. I’m trying to stick to whole foods as much as possible and get what I need from what grows in the ground, on a tree, walks the land, flies through the air, or swims in the sea. I breathe air and shit brown. To the latter point, I’ve returned to normal too since the experiment ended… and I like it.
