Second and third day... so far so good!



I just finished my third fruitarian dinner, it means, I am over the third day! I feel myself great and I haven't got any craving after cooked food or meat. I try to eat all sort of fruits, but I started to be addicted with bananas. Today I had 17!

Yesterday was very good, I noticed the first positive change. My energy level is constant during the day and I am not heavy headed and sleepy during the afternoon. I was awake very early and no signs of tiredness during the day!
I started the day with a short running and I went for a ride after work.
I tried out one of our new demo bike, a top of the range Orbea Orca with Sram Red. Well.... it wasn't my nicest ride unfortunately. I absolutely dislike this bike and I can't see the point why it costs £6.600!? First of all I felt I sat on a chopper. Secondly the whole bike was flexing under my 63kg.... The front end isn't stable, handlebar feels like a spaghetti, BB area is a rubber band and a rear end like a bad rear suspension. Cornering is terrible and control all over the place. Sorry, but only thing what I liked on this bike it was the colour..... Pffff.....
Anyway, it is over now....
The positive side of this ride was my legs! Thanks Martin both worked perfect and felt effortless! Mr SuppleWorx did a job again! I noticed other interesting thing, my blood sugar didn't dropped down during the ride. In the last few month (since I don't eat grains) I had to be careful and eat 2-3 gels /hour. But last night I did the whole 1 hour 40 minutes with a half pack of energy chew! I am quite interested, it will stay in the same way or not....

Today I was awake 4:30!? What? I couldn't sleep and I was very fresh! Wooow! During the day I had a same feeling then yesterday. High and constant energy level. I started the day in the gym with some mad hill workout on treadmill and it was great! I felt great and I preformed great. I felt myself a bit light headed, but blood sugar stayed okay. After work I went for for a quick spin (45 minutes) and I was still very energetic! Third day is done... I am looking forward tomorrow! I will go in the gym early and after I do some serious shopping on the market!

First day in fruit land...



I started my 80/10/10 diet today. I am over the first day and it was quite good! I didn't have any craving after any "forbidden" food.

The day went great,first I went in the gym and after I did some shopping on the market. Market was quite rubbish today, I hope tomorrow will be better. After I went to see Martin again at 11 o'clock. He spent 2 hours with my terrible legs! :) After I moved down to the kitchen from the massage room and we did some serious cooking with Sue. We were quite excited to try out Sue's new baby. She bought a new VitaMix in Whole Foods yesterday! Oh my lord, I need one soon... This blender's strength is incredible.
We made some raw cream of spinach soup for today and some coconut sweet potato curried soup for tomorrow. The second dish was apple cabbage stir fry with lemon zesty chicken breast all in paleo style. Everybody enjoyed the lunch, during Sue and Martin tried to eat the huge meal I had a VitaMax blended banana-spinach smoothie with dates and a whole papaya.

Today I had:
breakfast:
- 2 large bananas
- 2 small Cantaloupe melons
- 50g dates
- 3 oranges

lunch:
- 100g spinach
-3 large bananas
- 100 g dates
- 1 large papaya

afternoon snack:
- 4 large bananas
-3 large oranges

dinner:
- 2 large bananas
- 2 white grapefruits
- circa 1,8 kg green (Romanian and ice berg)
- 30 g almonds
- 400g watermelon
- 1 beetroot
- 100g radish
- 3 stalk celery (it is important for a salt intake)

My dinner, the bowl's diameter is 30 cm... and the whole lots weighted 2.1 kg! It toke 40 minutes to eat it! :D



Activity:
- 1 hour upper body workout in the gym
- 2X 20 minutes commuting cycling

My weight was 62.9kg at the morning. I measured my body fat as well, but have to calculate out the right number....

I am little bit tired now, I wanna off to the bed! Why am I doing this? What is 80/10/10 diet and fruitarian diet? I am going to explain you tomorrow!
