breakfast experiment

Experiment with your Daily Life!

The Breakfast experiment involves trying different kind of breakfast everyday for a week to see which foods are the most agreeable with my body. The experiment is not totally controlled and and there are some other variables, ie: the quality and amount of sleep I am receiving per night and my immune system which seems whacked out right now.

day one, scrambled tofu, zucchini, carrots, yellow squash tofu sausage w/ketchup and hot sauce green tea tangerine juice while eating it felt great, yummy, scrumdiddly-umshious a little of the tofu came up into my mouth on my commute 2 hours later I am irritable, anxious, and moody day two scrambled eggs two pieces of whole grain toast 2 pieces of seitan "bacon" hot sauce tangerine juice while preparing and eating I felt happy and good. It tasted yummy and I was full. Some of the egg came up in my mouth with flem and I had to spit it out. 2 hours later I am tiered but not hungry. day three Oatmeal soaked oatmeal, almonds, raisins, and cinnamon overnight Cooked it in a big pot for 5 minutes this morning Scooped it out poured soy milk on top with sprinkled brown sugar It was delicious, on the subway I spit up mucus and on my walk I spit up just brown sugar (no more of that) two hours later I am starving and tiered. I am having a double esspresso and hummus with multi seed crackers. day four, boxed cereal kashi good friends with a little ezeikiel sprouted grain mixed in with 3/4 a bannana, soy milk, and tangerine juice. I felt like I missed out on an important part of my morning, all of the other days I had to prepare food for myself. The first action I take in my morning is that of caring for myself, which sets up a great example for the rest of my day. day five, muffin and coffee, I went with the theme of "breakfast on the run" and hit Alice's tea cup, where I got rose flavoured tea (which I refilled with hot water 5 times) and a ginger bananna scone. I felt great 2 hours after eating these things. My intestinal track was a little scary and I had to use the restroom directly after completing eating. I have now had 3 pieces of pizza for lunch. day six, fruits, I was a little woozy and hung over after my champagne infused evening at Kat's birthday bash.(I only had 3 glasses, boy is my tolerance really down). I marched my butt to Fairway at 1:30pm wondering if it still counts as breakfast at this hour. I almost puked in the fruit section, but ended up buying pineapple, grapes, and making toping it with soy yogurt. This day I felt clean, energized, and refreashed. day seven, vegetables, after my fruit I had a shot glass full of apple cidar (to clear out bacterial infections) and made myself some fresh ginger and mint tea. I woke up and baked a sweet potatoe and ate it with corn which I had taken off the cob and platanos, which I fried and dipped in ketchup. It was delicious, but it came up a little. Question to ponder...why does so much of my food come up? Is it because I am allergic or that I don't chew properly? ****I liked the variety in my week and that provided a very fun morning. I am going to continue to try to integrate fresh fruits, since that worked the best for me, and I recycled the pineapple into my lunch today which was pineapple infused quinoa, pineapple and spicy curry tofu.
