Brazilnuts Diary with PICTURES, wholesale food prices etc

Post by Brazilnuts »

Hello and welcome to me! :lol:

My main motivation for starting this diary is so I can keep track on just how much I am spending in the initial stages of this diet and how long the food I buy last without going 'off' using various methods of storage (e.g. fridge, cupboards, fruit basket etc.).

The diet officially starts in three days time or so. In the meantime, I have spent:

£73 buying 20 kg of mechanically shelled Brazil Nuts (one years supply)
£77.50 buying the following wholesale fruit BOXES:

Juicing Oranges £13
Apples £15
Avocados £10
Melons (Honeydew) £8.50
Pineapples (a tray, not a box) £9
Bananas (unripe) £15
Mangoes £5
Delivery: £2

TOTAL SPENT on 25.07.08 = £150.50

I am yet to receive either order. I plan to come and log just how many UNITS of fruit I got per box (as the wholesaler was unable to give me exact figures...heck, I am lucky they even agreed to sell fruits at wholesale prices to me when I am just an individual and not a business! ) :P

It sounds like an awful lot of fruits, but I am hoping they last me at least two weeks.

What I am also trying to figure out is if it is worth my while buying some of these fruits in bulk, because if they expire/go off before I am able to eat them then that is a waste. However I am unable to buy them in smaller units, so if that were to happen I might have to buy some fruits from retailers at a higher price, but ultimately cheaper because I don't end up throwing them away due to being expired/rotten.

Alternatively I might be able to bypass needing to buy smaller units from retailers by agreeing to share some of my fruit with my friends/neighbours at a reduced price to them. That way its like we both share some fruit boxes and I don't lose any money due to expired fruits.

I do worry about how I am going to store the Brazil nuts though. I mean, unshelled nuts for a whole year...how can I prevent them from going off? Incidentally, I got a good deal cus one of the local shops wanted to charge me about £110 for the same quantity! Talk about a rip off. And I don't even know how his Brazil nuts were shelled.


One more thing...and this is gross...but just now I placed yet another order for a VERY controversial product (by the way I am broke and relying on loans and cash gifts from family and friends to pay for all this stuff...which they are willing to do mainly because of my poor health).

Before I give the name of the product, I will say what lead to me purchasing it today (27.07.08) by copying and pasting the comment I made to the manufacturer when I placed my order:
"I now believe this product might really work. Before I was unsure, but today I passed out a huge chunk of mucus after taking JUST Senna. It means my intestines are coated in mucus and I must get them out asap."
So what is this controversial product? Why, it is none other than Colonix by Dr Natura. I've placed an order for 3 months of the Colonix program. It might come to about £150. I am not yet sure because the price was given in Euros (189 or so).


So in total I have spent about £300 so far trying to get my health back on track.

I will try to upload pictures of my damaged colon (hehehe, I bet you were expecting the pictures to be of my face or body...nah! It's going to be of my bowels...yuck!) :twisted:

THE PICTURES

As you can see, the damage has worsened and is quite extensive.

It is of utmost importance that I get the inflammation under control and have all the tissues healed.

Why are my pictures not showing?

Does anyone know?


:?




Anyway, today the fruits were delivered, sans avocados. So that brought the total price down to £65.50. I must admit that I was rather disappointed at the amount of fruits I got. I only seemed to make savings in the oranges and apples. Everything else seemed to be the same price per unit, if not MORE :shock: compared to local retailers. The only advantage I can currently think about it that the delivery charge is next to nothing, plus in terms of effort I gained in the sense that I barely had to lift a finger. I cannot imagine myself chugging that amount of food around with me on a shopping trip and using public transport to bring it all home.

Note to self: BUY A CAR!

Note to self: Erm....it might help if you actually learnt how to drive first BEFORE you buy a car :lol:


No but seriously, if I knew how to drive and had a car, I would sooooo totally be buying the melons, bananas, mangoes, avocados, pineapples and even possibly the ... wait.....the whole darn thing!!!....I would buy everything from local shops!

:idea:

Or I could try to find another local fruit whole seller. We have absolutely LOADS around here. All I have to do is a bit of work in terms of ringing around and comparing prices. In order to remember how thoroughly shafted I got this time around, here are the full details (everything is described merely as a 'box' so the quantities below are as I calculated them individually):

Oranges, Juicing, size 72, 74/78 mm (yet to count how many) = £13
Apples, Green (yet to count how many) = 15
Mangos (7 of varied sizes) = £5
Pineapples (7 medium sized) = £9
Bananas (18.4 kg/40 lbs) = 15
Melons, Honeydew (9 small-medium sized) = 8.50
Total= £65.50


Oh, as a side note: I finally tasted some of the tomatoes growing in our garden. It's just the one plant, but it has loads of fruit sprouting out already. Sadly the horrible tomato blight had...well...blighted the bottom part of the tomato, so I could only eat half of the two ripe tomatoes. They were GORGEOUS! Best tomatoes I've ever tasted. Sweet, soft, succulent, and just...oh so easy to swallow down. Yummy. I am looking forward to more of the same...but this time the whole damn thing! No more tomato blights. I must remember to spray more anti-fungal mixture on the plant in about three days time.

FOOD DIARY 28.07.2008

Post by Brazilnuts »


DIET-WISE


I did not fare too well here. I am not one to eat too much during the day. It is usually at night time that the hunger-beast :twisted: starts to growl for feeding time. I therefore could only eat about 70% of a mango coated in loads of olive oil earlier in the day.

Energy-wise I felt absolutely invigorated for the rest of the day. On such little food I was able to get my room vacuumed, tidied up, changed all my bedding (including finally putting down that mattress protector I'd never been able to get round to doing), cleaned out the fridge-freezer, put away all the fruit I'd bought, cooked some potatoes (for freezing as they are going to expire soon and I need to be able to eat them later on when I start to introduce munch foods to my diet), and polished the wooden table in the living room.

Finally I felt a dip in energy and decided it was time to top up on fruit. I had the remaining 30% of the mango and olive oil.

Then later on I had one egg yolk mixed with orange juice. I made 500 ml of orange juice and mixed several teaspoons of olive oil in it. I plan to consume this later on, plus a couple of apples if I feel hungry/tired later on.

I am rather appalled at the figures I got from the Nutrient Calculator though. It seems I am way behind in several nutrients, vitamins and minerals for the day. Not good. Perhaps when my Brazil nuts finally arrive things might improve.
Selection:
[Item-1] 2cups of Mangos (Magnifera indica L.), [1][2],
[Item-2] 10tea_spoons of Olive oil (Olea europea), [1],
[Item-3] 1units of Chicken Egg yolk (Gallus domesticus), raw, [2],
[Item-4] 500ml (milliliters) of Orange juice (Citrus sinensis), fresh, not pasteurized, [1][2].

SO FAR TODAY

Post by Brazilnuts »

Expenses:

Avocado Oil 250 ml = £4.22
Groovy Cool Oil 250 ml = £7.89
Total = £12.11

The Colonix pack arrived today. They converted the 189 Euros into Pounds and so I paid £148.40. I can't wait to start it tomorrow! :D I am thinking of blending some bananas and mixing it with the Colonix in a sealed container. This is because the Colonix already has banana flavour and apparently it tastes gross with water so it's better to mix it with juice or a smoothie.


DIET DIARY


My energy levels were up and down today...not good. I had some banana and olive oil for breakfast, then a mid day snack of mango and a tablespoonful of avocado oil (this is when the energy slump began, a lot quicker than expected, compared to yesterday when I had 70% of this same meal but with olive oil instead of avocado oil...I even fell asleep mid evening!), then an early evening meal of 2 bananas and a olive oil, then later raw egg later, then recently two large bananas blended with 4 peeled apples and then with a tablespoonful of Cool Oil mixed in.

Still no sign of the Brazil nuts. Here's hoping they arrive tomorrow, when I am at home. I plan to pop out to Tesco's to pick up some all-in-one contact lens solution...as I forgot today after getting carried away with buying a cushion for the living room and a pillow for myself, and some fence paint for the garden, and a face cloth, and a face cream, and some room deodorizer (which might be what made me feel tired and sleepy cus it was right next to my head when I lay in bed to read the Colonix instruction manual).
Selection:
[Item-1] 4units of Apples (Malus sylvestris), no skin, [1],
[Item-2] 5units of Banana (Musa X paradisiaca), [1],
[Item-3] 2cups of Mangos (Magnifera indica L.), [1][2],
[Item-4] 1table spoons of Honey, [1],
[Item-5] 1units of Chicken Egg yolk (Gallus domesticus), raw, [1],
[Item-6] 3table spoons of Olive oil (Olea europea), [1].

Post by Brazilnuts »

Today I spent about £25 buying water filter and refill cartridges, because on the Colonix program I am required to consume about 8 glasses of filtered or bottled water.

The blasted Brazil nuts have still not arrived, and I am afraid to up my amount of raw egg yolk, so I ordered and ate two half pound burgers and a piece of fried chicken. :oops: It is obvious I am craving protein like mad! It got so bad that just a few minutes before I went ahead and placed the order for the burgers, I considered going to the shops to buy some smoked salmon (I even posted a query about it) or going to a restaurant to get some Sashimi, but it's too late at night for me to get either of that.

Anyway, here is the GOOD part of my diet for today:

Selection:
[Item-1] 1units of Plums (Prunus spp.), [1],
[Item-2] 400ml (milliliters) of Orange juice (Citrus sinensis), fresh, not pasteurized, [1][2],
[Item-3] 2units, medium of Banana (Musa sapientum), [2],
[Item-4] 3tea_spoons of Olive oil (Olea europea), [1],
[Item-5] 600g (grams) of Muskmelon (Cucumis melo), reticulatus grp, cantaloupe-US, [1][2],
[Item-6] 2table spoons of Honey, [1],
[Item-7] 1units of Chicken Egg yolk (Gallus domesticus), raw, [1],
[Item-8] 1units of Oranges (Citrus sinensis), no peel, Calif. navel, [1].

My test to confirm whether

Post by Brazilnuts »


...junk food just doesn't taste good any more.


Last night, as I wrote in this diary above, I consumed two half pound burgers and one fried chicken drumstick. They tasted HORRIBLE! :shock: I just could not believe it. In desperation I added my favourite ketchup (Heinz) to the food, but still could not get much enjoyment out of them. How is this possible? I have only been on the diet for a few days! It was as if I could not even taste the food any more. The cheese was tasteless. The mayonnaise was bland. Chewing the meat was what I would imagine chewing TASTELESS cardboard would be. Horrid. I was very disappointed. After all, this cost me £7!

So today I decided to find out if something was wrong with my taste buds or if those burgers were just lousy. I ate Wai-style as usual for the first part of the day. The mango and olive oil tasted WONDERFUL. Heck, I even licked the plate clean! :oops: :lol:

Concluding that perhaps the burgers were lousy because my taste buds seemed to work just fine on the Wai diet, I left things at that. However this evening I had a cunning plan :twisted: I was going to pitch those burgers against my favourite burger ever! Well, ONE of my favourite burgers ever...you see I have two. One is called The Whopper and is available only at Burger King, and the other one is called The Quarter Pounder with cheese and is available only at McDonald's.

I went to McDonald's as we don't have a Burger King around here. I ordered the Quarter Pounder with cheese meal (medium size) and balked at the taste of the chips/fries first of all. They tasted...bland :o Again in desperation I whipped out the small pot of Heinz tomato ketchup that comes with the meal and still, the chips did not taste that good. In fact, they tasted worse with the ketchup. This is a first!!! So I ate the rest of the chips without any ketchup.

Then it was time for the Quarter Pounder with cheese burger. Meh. It tasted only marginally better than the burger from last night. In dismay I rushed over to yet again TEST another favourite burger of mine...the McChicken Sandwich. It did not taste good either so I'd just wasted £6.18 on yet another crappy burger meal! *sob*.

Even the coke I ordered tasted 'funny'. I struggled to swallow it. In fact, I think that was the first time ever where I finished a burger meal and had to walk out with the coke drink because I could not finish it. I took the drink with me on the bus home and sipped at it all the way home without much enthusiasm.

I really need to get to the bottom of this anomaly. Why is junk food not tasting even half as good as it used to? What has the Wai diet done to my favourite (junk) treats?


Anyway...

The Brazil nuts arrived at 9 p.m. tonight. I was not even home, someone who was at home having dinner let ParcelForce in. They are crap. They were meant to deliver before 6 p.m. and I waited till 6:15 p.m. for them, which made me a little bit late for my Martial Arts tester class at 6:30 p.m. The class was fun. I enjoyed punching the hell out of the foam the instructor held up to me. Sometimes he started putting pressure on me and pushing me, and I had to either jump out of his way, or punch the foam (he was folding) harder to get HIM under pressure. I enjoyed it. He says if I join for a 6 months course now it'll cost me about £270, but if I delay they might charge me the full price of £570 (or so, I can't remember exact figures now).

I told him that I need to do the street dance tester first before I make up my mind. I am rather unfit at the moment and I just need a weekly class to attend in order to get fit again. I hate the gym so that is totally out of the question. Dance classes or martial arts are sooooooooo much more fun! :P I must have done about 35 push ups, including the most difficult one right at the start where we had to go down sloooooooowly as he counted to 30, then push back up sloooooowly as he counted to 30 again. I could feel my whole body shaking at the intensity of it all. He also asked us to bend over and touch our toes. That hurt! I could barely do it. Oh well, practice makes perfect, eh? :wink:

I had the same experience with pizza and pasta. ;)

The nutrient calculator is based per day, so you need to fill in what you ate during one whole day to get a more accurate picture.

Make sure you're getting enough energy, so lots of small meals during the whole day.

I don't think you need the Colonix when you're on the Wai diet, plus it might throw your body out of whack.

Your pics didn't show because of the urls, I think they're too long. But right-clicking and choosing "View Picture" somehow works.

Oh no! That must have been tragic! :lol:

That's what I am doing, except for the munch meals which I can't find in the nutrient calculator. So for example I eat 1000 calories Wai style and submit to the nutrient calculator and paste it here, then the other 1000 plus calories might come from...say...burgers and fries? Mind you I am trying to cut down on munch foods....

It might, but its only for three months. When it is over I plan to continue on the Wai diet.

NIGHTMARE!


(on Wai Street)


:lol:


It's been two days. TWO DAYS!!

Two days since I went for that 30 minute Martial Art tester class and my body still feels absolutely shattered. I could barely get out of bed today as any time I tried to lift my body up my abdominal muscles hurt like hell.

Any time I lift my hands up, my shoulders and all surrounding muscles also hurt really bad.

I can't believe how unfit I am. It's crazy! Normally my body would recover from exercise within a day, yet two days later and everything is still aching and sore. There must have been a lot of lactic acid released during those sit ups, push ups and star jumps.

How can my abs still hurt so much after only 14 sit ups or so?

I guess your recuperative system isn't in optimal condition. I've noticed that on the Wai diet I hardly get sore anymore.

In the past when I was more active I recovered within MINUTES from any kind of physical exertion. It's just a matter of getting fit again, but its depressing to be at this level...back in square one.

HELP

Post by Brazilnuts »

I've been off the Wai diet since my last Diet Diary entry.

I got very very upset at not being able to enjoy the taste of junk food any more (well the type that I like...which are probably the type that are ruining my gut...).

I went on a junk food bender. I'm still in the middle of it. Planning to bake a cake tomorrow...yummy.

Today I ate a lot of potatoes, mince, apple crumble and chocolate cake. Last night it was a big tub of cookie dough ice cream, some fried chicken breasts, and a tub of coleslaw.

The night before it was 12 coated and fried chicken wings and some hot cookie dough, and prior to that I think I had 6 BBQ chicken wings and 6 coated and fried chicken wings and a 500 ml tub of cookie dough ice cream.

You can say I was on a junk food bender....a junk food rampage like never before. Savouring finally getting the taste and enjoyment back, and almost hoarding it for fear of losing it again if I returned to the Wai diet...therefore postponing returning to the Wai diet.

I've never eaten so much junk food in such a short space of time, so I know it is clearly my addiction kicking back, and also my sadness that I have to choose between eating junk food and being on the Wai diet, because even being on the Wai diet 70% ruins the taste of junk food.

I need to enjoy eating more than fruit!

I'm sad that I cannot (at the moment anyway) do what it takes to heal my bowels.

:cry:

Sorry to hear that, but you're right, it's not necessarily easy. For you it might actually work better to switch completely, so go on the Wai diet 100% right away. Still not easy, esp in the beginning, but cravings will subside quicker when you're not in contact with junk foods anymore. Good luck and keep us posted how things go. :)
