Dieting and coffee.
So, I started the South Beach Diet! I know, it doesn’t work, it cost a lot, and it is Atkins! Yeah, but anyhow! I had eggs for breakfast, coffee, with non- diary, and sweet and low, I had low- fat cheese for a break,and lots of water. For lunch a large salad with romaine, tomatoes, onions, and pepper. With it a sugar free dressing. More bottled water, working in the yard, and a sugar free pop-sickle. Then for supper I had grilled Talipia, steamed broccolli, water. Then I had a dessert later, it was low fat Ricotta cheese mixed with artifical sweetner and a dash of vanilla flavoring (chilled). I think the trick is I am so full,that I don’t snack. ( and making the little dessert for yourself helps).
I couldn’t be on a diet that didn’t include coffee.

Once my family sent me to a spa, and I pick a super-vegan one. No sugar, no oils, flour, meat, caffeine. The next day, I had such a headache, and was panicing to find a coke or something, I went next door to another place, and another, I finally found a swanky hotel, and ordered a coke at the bar, that they said was closed ( no one needs the bar in the morning) They must have seen I needed a coke, however, too late…I tried to make it to the bathroom, but vomited in everything along the way. Remember those fancy tall cigarette sand or gravel things. I think they had drawn something in them. I think you just pick the butts out like kitty litter. But, they probably had to have new sand… The water fountain, the bathroom fianlly! It was when aids was big news, and was in Ft. Lauderdale! So, they staff was freaking out and wanted to know my name and send me to the hospital or something. But, I just disappeared as I had come in. I was fine, and went the doctor at the spa. He was happy, ” You detoxed so fast! The next day I got up before breakfast and the sun, and went for 2 cups of coffee. I loved that spa, and went again once, but brought decaf coffee packages.I have been drinking coffee since I was a little girl. My Mom and friends would have in in a pretty little cup with a saucer.
