Hey what’s up? It’s been a minute since Ive posted on the blog.
Just before the year ended I posted on Facebook a 30 day challenge to go organic for the month of January just to see. A lot of people say there’s no difference…you cannot imagine what went down, even my mom said my eyes looked jacked up.
Alright check it out. First off I should mention that when I say organic I mean organic whole foods as much as possible.
So NO pre-processed “organic” cookies. The only non whole food I partook in was some brown rice/ spinach pasta.
Anywho on to the story. Started out the first few days kinda missing the junk or as I heard one person refer to it as “frankenfood”. But not really a big deal because I do like vegetables and meat and whatnot.
By the second week I was rolling pretty well, only occasionally when driving passed the Weenie House (that’s Weinersnitchel for those of you not in the know) would I actually “miss” the junk.
Again by the third week still no big bing bang, I did notice that I wasn’t as tired, but I just attributed it to holding to my schedule better. Even my sister asked how it was going and what differences I could see.
Oh let me mention I started on the 2nd cause I sure wasn’t missing out on the New Year celebration, fast-forward to the end of the challenge and just because I can I had a Hawaiian bread roll.
Now mind you I wasn’t itching to get something bad it just happened to be there when I was making my salad (I eat a salad everyday). As Im eating the salad I go in for a bite of the roll and guess what?
You know what a Hawaiian roll taste like, you can just about taste it now as your reading this right? And of course I “know” what it taste like too; well the first bite of this bread after nothing but organic food was…
I bet you’re thinking it’d be heaven.
WRONG
It tasted like chemicals. I cant quite explain it, but I could taste that it wasn’t actually food. Same with the second bite. That’s not the trippy part.
By the time I had taken the 3rd bite it tasted exactly how you are picturing it in your mind right now!!
Our taste buds have been hijacked. Now Im not running around shouting from the mountain top that if you don’t eat organic you’ll die tomorrow.
What I am saying is, take the challenge yourself. For 21 to 28 days eat only organic whole foods and see how you feel.
The next day I had some pizza, in the name of “research” of course, and not 5 minutes after the last bite, I fell asleep. Are you kidding me? Ive been keeping my schedule and had only changed what I ate for lunch (the pizza) and I kid you not fell asleep darn near literally with the last bite in my mouth.
Ridiculous!
Oh and back to the eye thing. About an hour after I ate the Hawaiian roll with my lunch I saw my mom and she asked, “what’s wrong with your eyes, you been sleeping okay?” Within an hour the chemicals had run their course and showed up in my eyes.
It’s a trip, I strongly urge you to take the organic challenge and see how it affects your body.
