Diet ickiness

figmoI'm trying to work within the diet. Some parts are easier than others. I'm getting in my cup of vegetables per day, but it's having icky effects on me.
I've got the runs. Big time. My body has a hard time dealing with that much fruit and vegetable matter. I understand the Nutritionist wants me to get in more phytochemicals, but I wish there was a way I could just take them by pill and eat some grains to bulk myself up. Ugh.

I didn't do my fruit allotment yesterday because it felt like it would aggravate things. "Dinner" was a whole wheat mini bagel with smoked salmon and tofu cream cheese plus 2 graham crackers for "dessert." That didn't go "straight through me."

There are lots of other vegies you can ease into the vegie thing with. Can you do carrots? They have the advantage of being easy to eat and not wilting too fast (and they make a satisfying *crunch* when you're frustrated at work :-) .

I can do carrots and probably will. I actually find the crunch aspect rather annoying, as I'm not a "crunch" person, but I do like the taste.
