Diet ickiness

[figmo]

I'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.

Note that there were no vegetables involved.

Um, tomato juice and V-8 (or Garden Patch) are not the same thing; discussing the "random veggies" in tomato juice makes no sense. You may not like or be able to drink tomato juice either, but that's a different issue.

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 phrased that wrongly.

I meant "I can't stand tomato juice, and I react badly to some of the random other veggies in V-8."

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.
