One week off sugar.

I'm still very exited about this, and I think I can keep it up.

I'm currently eating a couple fresh sweet potatoes that I boiled for roughly an hour. Nothing else.

This morning I cooked a pile of chicken by throwing it into a pan, waiting for it to get crispy, flipping it, and waiting for it to get done. I still need to work on the options of adding water and a lid. Only the one ingredient.

A bunch of my meals have been a large can of chicken, drained, with the heads of a thing of fresh broccoli, mixed and microwaved for three minutes, followed by a sliced apple.

I'm sure a couple weeks ago this would have sounded gross to me, and not worth living through. It's nice how quickly taste recovers when you stop eating garbage - this stuff tastes great.

When I was eating an Asian diet for science (notable for being entirely without refined sugar and almost entirely without beef or dairy) I discovered subtleties of flavor that I had never experienced before. I would probably have continued to eat in that fashion afterward if it wasn't really clear I was failing to get enough nourishment from that diet.
