Journal Entry: April 8th 2018 – The End of a Cycle – More Findings on Kidney Filtration

Slightly Changing my Diet

For the past two weeks I’ve been having a hybrid diet. I’ve been juicing six days a week at home, and the rest of the time I’ve been eating at Spring which is an all you can eat vegetarian buffet. This week I have started to reduce the number of times I go to Spring in comparison to the previous weeks and replaced some of my meals at Spring by some mono meals prepared at home. Mono meals of avocado, banana, or grapes tend to work great for me. The days when I’ve been having a juice and a mono meal for the entire day were amazing in terms of the ease in digestion. It almost feels like there’s no digestion.

After a month of including some cooked vegetarian meals to my diet I have the sensation that I am reaching the end of a cycle. Although delicious, I am becoming less exited to eat abundantly at Spring, and most importantly I have lost the great hunger I used to have during the previous weeks. I think it’s time to reduce even more the days I eat at Spring and increase the days I have raw plant based meals at home. The reason why I don’t want to completely stop going to Spring is because during the past month or so I have gained some muscular mass, I feel stronger physically, and my productivity and my desire to do things have been all very high.

The week did not start very well for me

On Mondays Spring is closed, and I was missing produce to make my own juice at home. I went to this place where they have good tasting cold pressed juices named Juice Up. I ended up having three bottles of their delicious green juices. Although their recipes are right on in terms of taste, I think that it’s a shame that they are not using organic produce. I am wondering if having a non organic cold pressed juice does my body more good or bad.Continue reading

Journal Entry: March 25th 2018 – Eight Consecutive Weeks of Feeling Amazing

Spring

The past two weeks have been unexpectedly hybrid for me in terms of nutrition. I have discovered a vegetarian “Tenedor Libre” (an all you can eat restaurant) named Spring. They offer a high quality vegetarian dishes for an affordable price. The service is great, the TV is muted, the lighting is soft, the napkins are made of cloth, and the owner is actually working and making sure that the open buffet is well garnished at all times.

Dining at Spring feels more like eating out at a real restaurant than going to a regular “Tenedor Libre”. One of the aspects I like the most about Spring, is the social component. I find it easier to talk to people in a setting were we go get our own food than being in a setting with full on waiting service, where each table happens to be in its own private bubble.Continue reading
