Fat Smash -- Day 8
All right, kiddies, I wanted to wait a few days before I starting blogging about my journey into making a lifestyle change, but I'm having a rough day so I have to vent about it.
Last Monday, I started Dr. Ian Smith's "Fat Smash Diet." I'd always planned on doing it, but it took my latest foray into the real world and heart-wrenching conversation with my dad to really get on the ball with it.
The diet starts off with a "detox" period of 9 days. During detox, you can basically eat nothing but fruits and vegetables for those beginning days. Sprinkle in some cream of wheat (or oatmeal, whichever you prefer), brown rice, beans and tofu, you've got your entire menu for almost a week and a half. I breezed through the first 6 days nearly without incident and then all the sudden, a craving HIT ME yesterday.
Being day 7, I chalked it up to a fleeting instance and went about my business. The craving gained momentum as the day progressed, though. I was consumed with visions of Red Robin burgers and overpowering urges to eat steak. Now please understand that I'm anemic and fully understand that if I don't take my iron pill, these feelings will not subside.
Remember that scene in "Madagascar" where Ben Stiller's lion character wanted steak so bad that the zebra (Chris Rock) started looking like dancing steaks and the lion actually BIT the zebra? That's where I'm at right now. I almost took a chunk out of Brittany's arm.
Needless to say, it most CERTAINLY is a bad food day.
