so, i'm fasting.

[minxnim]

my shrink recommended it. he says he does it all the time. he gave me a list of these weird teas and concoctions to drink. today is day one.
supposedly the first two days are the worst. so far, hmm i feel okay?

 

[lizard]

I was into herb and root teas for a while but i got tired of drinking things that tasted like soil.

edit: plus all my shrink ever did was get me to reveal my deepest darkest facets, and then bill me.

 

[goatschool]

i should do this.

 

[minxnim]

my shrink gives me like way too many pills and i feel sick from them all the time. so he said this would help. anyway, i mean, i've done it before (before i took all these freakin awful pills) but anyway.... i hope it works. i'll try anything. also, nick... i can give you the skinny on which fast i'd recommend for you if you'd like.

 

[minxnim]

p.s. i think mint tea tastes good. so does ban tea, as does dandelion tea.

 

[goatschool]

dandelion tea sounds interesting.

yeah, you know what... tell me what you're thinking. i'm open to learning, at the very least.

 

[FuSoYa]

Tanis root.

 

[xfer]

pennyroyal.

 

[minxnim]

eh nick don't drink pennyroyal for crying out loud. unless your a dog and want to get rid of fleas.

i think you'd do best on a juice fast. 4-5 days of just having pure juice, like carrot juice and wheatgrass juice etc. or vegetable broth (that you made yourself)

 

[FuSoYa]

I was just about to type a searing post about wheatgrass vileness but then I remembered Nick's goatness and wheatgrass' apropos.

 

[minxnim]

i think wheatgrass is okay if you mix it in with a little bit of orange juice or carrot juice.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

this thread is making me hongry

 

[xfer]

so we can't talk about how gross-tasting tin cans are, either?

 

[minxnim]

so i just had to say i'm fasting since everyone is asking me what we're having for lunch and this girl was like "FIGURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and stormed off.

yipes.

 

[lizard]

perhaps she is frustrated at her own lack of willpower. is she..er...portly?

 

[goatschool]

i'mma gonna try this. wheatgrass and all. probably next week.

 

[avi]

psylium husk

 

[minxnim]

yea nick if you go more than 4-5 days you may want to (once a day) have an herbal laxative tea (not a strong one tho!)
i'd recommend like a 3 day one. wait a bit, then try a 7 day one... work your way up. unless of course you start, and you feel really pumped. then go as long as you can. since juice has enough calories to keep you going, you won't technically be depriving yourself.
(notes: no taking vitamins... and no coffee!!!)

 

[minxnim]

lizard, i guess she is. but like, i stated clearly that i was doing this so my liver doesn't totally reject me! she's mean.

 

[lizard]

ha. maybe the secret is she is unlucky in love...perhaps http://www.magicteas.com/2003/love_spells.htm can help!
