Detox Cleanse 2008 = Fail, Hemp Oil = Win

Well, okay... it was not a complete failure. It was a semi-failure. I did not go the full seven days, only five, but I was so hungry it was ridiculous. I do feel like a lot of toxins were eliminated from my body, but I do regret not finishing out the last two days of raw fruits and vegetables. When I broke the diet, I ate an extremely heavy and expensive meal which made me tired and stomach-achy for twenty-four hours after I ate it. Believe it or not, I ate a big meal of salmon and spinach! Why salmon? Well, I have been acutely feeling a lack of omega 3 fatty acids in my vegetarian diet and was craving some fish to provide it. I really do not like eating fish all that much, though. It is too heavy in my stomach and I am acutely aware that supporting the fishing industry inadvertently contributes to the clubbing of baby seals (seriously). One solution I happened upon this weekend is hemp oil, which has the same amount of omega 3 fatty acids as fish. It tastes a little funky, but it is better than the alternative.
