Day 2

We switched back to our favorite shake recipe today, and as I expected everything went pretty smoothly.

Day 2
Shake: Apricot, Peanut, Raisin, and Almond Milk
Shake Cost: About $5 (I already had all the ingredients)
Body Weight: 161.6 lb (-2.2lb total)

Here are a couple of observations:

Too Much of a Good Thing?

Yesterday was really difficult primarily because of the enormous amount of dark, leafy greens, in our shakes. 150 grams of kale might not sound like much, but it fills my largest cooking bowl to the point of overflowing. I'm very used to "green drinks" but the massive amount of kale puree was quite unpleasant. I don't want to eliminate dark greens entirely though, so today I re-ran the algorithm with a maximum of 75g of leafy greens. I'm hoping this will this will turn out to be a good compromise, and the algorithm will make up for the lost nutrients in other ways.

Runny Nose After Shakes

For some reason I've been getting a runny nose right after I drink each shake. It only lasts a few minutes, so it isn't a big deal, but I do find it odd. If anyone has any theories, let me know!

Daily Routine

In the weeks I've been drinking Roboshake, I've become more and more aware of how our daily schedules revolve around eating. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are reliable break points as we get through each day. Since I make all four liters of my Roboshakes in the morning, I can drink them whenever I want. At first I tried eating them at the table as if I was having a normal meal, but slowly I've just started drinking them continually as I go about my day. This has had the effect of eliminating the traditional three meals, and my day has turned into a single continuum rather disjoint segments separated by eating. This isn't good or bad, but it's definitely different.

That covers it for Day 2. I'm hoping for more days like this one!
