So much smiling!?

[mikeshafer]

Hey folks, I started back into my raw diet. I've been maintaining about 70% raw for the past few weeks (although in terms of number of calories, probably more like 30%). But I've been cranking it up each day and today I'm 100%. Over the last week or so, whenever I make my green smoothie and drink it, I feel really good -- so much that I start smiling almost uncontrollably. I don't know what's causing this but it's weird! I'm not saying it's a bad thing, and maybe it's all in my head, but something about the green smoothies just make me smile.

Now I'm getting the same effect with salad. Fruit, not as much, but leafy greens, oh yes.

Can anyone else relate to this?

Isn't that cool? I noticed the same thing about day 4...(Still smiling!!!)

They call that the food mood connection and there have been some books written about it.

oh i had that too! such... mysterious happiness. I don't know why- it's just that you drink that green smoothie, it tastes good, you know it's absolutely good for your body and :D
not lately though... i feel like i swallowed a baloon.. don't know why, maybe that special time of the month..

either way, go green smoothies!

mikeshafer,

I so relate. Have been enjoying green smoothies for a couple weeks to start my day off right--my attitude has definately been uplifted and positive. Thanks for the great thread.
