Inspired by my mom's decision to eat and live healthier, my friend's obsession with testing diet myths, and the decreasing price of produce as summer arrives, my wife and I decided a week ago to eat more fruits and vegetables.
Here's the plan: eat at least one significant serving of vegetables and fruit every day. By a significant serving, I mean that half of the meal has to be fruits and vegetables. And the following don't count: rice/grains, potatoes, peanut butter, and alcohol (yes, even amaretto).
Okay, so it's not a 7-day water diet followed a month of Savannah eating, but it's something.
Two days we had salad for dinner - spinach, nuts, cheese, sausage, berries, and a vinaigrette. Other days it was asparagus, broccoli, bok choy, and mushrooms.
And the result after week one: I can't sleep. 5 hours a night most nights. I go most months without sleeping pills but this week I've had two. Let's hope it's not related to the vegetables.
Wow, great you are eating healthier!!! Fruits and Veggies are so so good for you! Maybe your body is revolting from the change and hence you can't sleep, don't give up Ian.
