My one concern with this diet is that it's hard to take in enough calories because all of this fiber makes me feel so full. I was feeling a bit weak on our ride today, so we stopped at the local food co-op to grab a banana and a smoothie; we were actually going there anyway because it is impossible to purchase tahini on the Palouse right now, and we want to make hummus. Call it the "Great Tahini Crisis of 2007," as the major tahini brand has been recalled for the past few months due to Salmonella.
As we were leaving the co-op, we were approached by a rather portly girl, who said she has noticed two things about this area: 1) everyone in this area rides a bike and 2) everyone who rides is thin. She then proceeded to ask us how quickly she could lose weight if she started cycling. What she really needs to realize is that she was at the co-op, which is frequented by "green" health nuts, so of course they all ride their bikes around town, and they all eat their health food. Upon realizing that this girl found us quite thin and trim, I had to ask, "Why are we doing this diet?"
Still doing it....
