The Kaiser nutritionist called me today to tell me her opinion on this drastic calorie reduction diet. After I described our project to her, she had three pieces of advice: 1) to keep up on my liquid intake (which will be no problem; I will be drinking water to make myself feel full!); 2) to take an ordinary multi-vitamin; and 3) to enjoy the experience. That is really what she said! OK, well, if she's not going to try to talk me out of it, it is doable. No more stressing about health issues.
I have been going thru my fridge and trying to eat up the perishables. There's still a lot more, and it's leaving the house on Friday. Last night Dawn and I ate at Fresh Choice, saying goodbye to all the lovely cool crisp greens that we won't be seeing for awhile, and today I ate just slightly lightly. Tomorrow I will be focusing on fruit juices and teas. Then Friday is the big day.

I hope things change for North Korea once Kim Jong-il steps down. But I'm not very confident about it. I think his son has been primed to act the same way, or even worse. He did some time in a Western school under an alias, with American students; maybe this will help him to understand Western culture, or maybe it will make him despise us even more. I can only hope that he has a more intuitive relationship with the rest of the world than his father has.
