March 31-April 1...disaster diet

4/2/2012

1 Comment

 
I didn't eat great over the weekend. Saturday started out with a bang as I got into a huge fight with my husband, then ate A TON of brownies. And I'm not going to not list all the crap I ate on Saturday evening at the second party in as many days.

However, I do a public service announcement of sorts. There are SO MANY fantastic reasons to eat clean... however, if saving the planet, solving the healthcare crisis, experiencing vibrant health, and not being a part of animal cruelty aren't good enough reasons... and if you are a "drinker"...maybe this ONE reason will sway you to start eating clean:
When you regularly eat a clean diet...you stop experiencing hangovers. This is one of the first things I noticed when I quit eating meat and dairy. I don't know the exact science of it, but when your organs (especially your liver) don't have to work so hard to process your food, they become more efficient, thus better equipped to process the excess liquor. Saturday night, I split a fifth of vodka with a friend (I know - total LUSH). Sunday morning I didn't even have a headache.

I realize that this is more pathetic than inspiring, but it is what it is. I don't plan on tying one on like that again for a long time.............

In taking my week off, I hadn't been reading any of this. But you are dead right. Hangovers be gone .... Everyone knows I used to get the worst ones. Brian even said once, that if he got hangovers like me, he wouldn't drink. Even with just the absence of meat, there's a big difference.
