Day 14

Day of Rest...and I'm jonesing for the juice. But that didn't stop me from eating two poached eggs and garlic rosemary potatoes and a bowl of fruit. I ate everything. I used to not be able to eat all my food when I would go out to eat because the portions were so big. This time I just consumed the whole thing and I didn't feel full. I can feel my body dealing with anything I put into it on my rest day. It's efficiently dealing with the food. The difference is during the week I DON'T feel my body deal with the fresh fruit, vegetables, and juice and this brings me to a very important point...YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL YOUR FOOD. If you can feel the digestion happening then you've got the wrong combination of food in your stomach. If you FEEL FULL, then you've eaten wayyyyyy tooo much food. If you feel uncomfortable during or after a meal then you're doing something wrong and your body is telling you as much. Think of it this way, you don't normally feel uncomfortable when you breathe. And when your breathing does feel uncomfortable you immediately know something is wrong. But when it comes to food we completely ignore that feeling because we've so over-sensualised the eating experience that we've come to accept that that "stuffed", overfed, gassy experience is just the normal cost of doing business. So, yes, I definitely felt my food on this day of rest, but it didn't sit in my stomach for very long like it used to. The juicing is making my body much more efficient.
