Eating for Evolution

So, like Tif, I veered off course for one meal this weekend. I introduced fish and citrus into my diet and did it wreak havoc on my digestion!  I just thought, a little bit won’t hurt—it won’t change anything. Was I wrong. I ate a beautiful piece of glistening, shimmering, organically-sourced sea bass with blood orange vinegarette, quinoa, sauteed rainbow chard and oyster mushrooms. Yum!!

Or so I thought.  I woke up around 2:30 AM on Monday—Liver time!— and had to run to the bathroom, as if I took a laxative.  Holy Shit! No pun intended, but it wasn’t pretty.  Sorry for being so crude, but as a student of Chinese medicine, I’m always aware of not only my bowel habits, but everyone else’s.

Anyways, I realized that Phase II and III came too soon. My diet during the previous week was in congruence with Phase I. Why did I think that I could alter that? Cuz my ego was getting the best of me. I actually thought that I could control my body’s response to what I was assimilating. 

Little did I know, that the body speaks volumes over one’s ego! And that indeed was the first time that I put body over ego— to the test.  

I love y’all for what we collectively are doing in this journey together! Congrats to us and how we are accepting what IS in the present, when it comes to our choice of what WAS, COULD BE or SHOULD BE in the future of our evolution of eating. 

PS: I must admit that I might deviate from time to time—-I’m having one helluva time with this plan. But I know that I can count on the unconditional support from my friends on Eating for Evolution—-Cheers and here’s to discovering why certain foods produce certain outcomes in my quest for the the sake of the whole!
