I’m doing a bit of an experiment, I’ve increased the amount of leafy greens in my diet. I want to see the effect of eating 1 Kg of leafy greens a day. So far I’ve been feeling fantastic! This is my day three evening meal… I wonder why I feel stuffed?!
For comparison, on the left is a full size dinner plate
On this giant serving dish (my plate!) is the following:
400g strawberries,
2 red peppers,
100g sliced sweet potato,
10 radish,
Approx. 1 Kg of leafy greens;
(550g celery, 300g spinach, 75g rocket, 200g purple sprouting broccoli)
I also had:
500g grapes,
2 bananas and
2 tomatoes.

I’ve still been feeling great for most of the time. The exceptions occur when I cheat on my diet and have too much cooked food or too much fatty food. I’ve noticed also that if I don’t drink enough water then that knocks the edge off me too.
Last week I struggled for the whole week with some fatigue and a little depression, this was after breaking my diet for 3 days in a row. Normally if I deviate from my diet it’s only for an odd meal, but this time we had guests round for meals over those days, I was trying to be relaxed about what I do. It may have helped me to appear ‘normal’, but I suffered as a result. Also I have a cooked food family where hearty slices of homemade banana cake were on offer!
A short fast and a pro-biotic enema got me back on track again. Within a few hours of eating again I was feeling AWESOME!
