Mint tea for coffee, brown rice/whole fruits & vegetables for everything else I used to enjoy eating. Water for beer/wine/booze. Air for Spirit yellows.
Today is day two. Not much fun so far. Except the air part is nice.

Good heavens. What happened to you to cause this sudden change in diet?
Giving my body a rest from the “rich” life for a couple weeks in anticipation of Spring. The smokes are done for good. Other foods, beer and wine may start to come back in a couple of weeks. Not sure about the hard liquor.
Is it working? Weight loss? General energy levels up to “sleepy” from “out cold”?
I mentioned something like this to my wife, she shuddered.
Yes, it worked for me in the fact that I wanted to shake the nicotine addiction. Day one was not too bad. Day two was really really tough, which made day three much easier while day four was simple. I cracked on Friday and ate a Turkey sandwich as well as some sea scallops that Laura made for us.
It was not long enough to experience any measurable weight loss outside of water, which I was pounding anyway. Energy was generally down. Mental acuity seemed even more dull than my usual marble-esque edge. I never felt really “hungry”, though I craved certain things, and I really enjoyed eating more fruit in a couple of days than I have since I can remember. Tuesday was very hard, dealing with the double-whammy of nicotine and caffeine withdrawal. I really didn’t miss drinking alcohol whatsoever.
It was an abnormally busy week for me and I was overly ambitious in my expectations, but (at least for now) I got off the cigarettes which is a win I’ll take. I hope I keep that prize.
Keeping busy will make it a lot easier… and like I said before, you will not miss the caffeine after a few days… no matter how much energy you dont ‘think’ you have keeping up with the little version of you. Ya big sperm donor you! :-p
