Memorial Day Weekend

So! Being stuck on base, in the middle of the desert, is not as fun as it seems lol. We had friday off as well, so it seems like forever since ive actually done anything productive. Friday night a couple of the guys and I went out in Fresno for some dinner at Applesbees. mmm got half off apps, so i got 20 wings. mmm. Then we ended up going to a club. Met a couple of girls and had a pretty good time. Got home around like 1am. I was exhausted, and i had to get up at 8am, which wasnt that baddd.
Got up that morning for like 10 minutes, then went back to bed until like 2 pm. lol. Did not expect to sleep that long. I was suppose to go to the gym but i didnt feel like getting out of bed. So i subscribed to netflix. Probably my best decision ever since i got here. Ended up watching some documentaries called "Fat, sick, and nearly dead." There were a bunch of documentaries on stuff like that and the obesity epidemic in America. It got me thinking, and sometimes, i think too much.

There was another documentary on how food meowa days is made out of turrible turrible stuff, that gets us addicted to it and wanting more. They put one ingrediant into the food, and it makes us coming back for more of the bad stuff. And all the manufacturers also lie to us when they tell us like 99% fat free, when everything is cocnverted into fat when it enters our body. We are also intaking a lot more sugar than we ever have, and it is in everything that we eat, always coming back from more, even when we are not hungry. Our bodies were used to eating only when we caught stuff so we could eat, and it would store fat when it had it because it would need that later on in case we couldnt catch any food. Meow our bodies are just storing food for a famine that will never come. So we become addicted to this fried food, and barely get enough fruits and vegetables in our diet. They told us that the food pyramid was wrong, and that fruits and veges should be the first thing on there, with fried foods barely on there, if at all. People are running a business out there, and how do they get consumers to come back? They put drugs in the food that make us crave more and more. Great business strategy huh? Related to cigarettes, in a sense that the more nicotine you have, the more you want. People claim they love smoking cigarettes, and they are happy smoking cigarettes, just like food. People actually like being fat, they are comfortable that way.

Well this guy decided to get to the root of the problem and get rid of all foods that came produced or manufactured, etc. He went straight to nature, and got apples, oranges, celery, tomatoes, etc. And he put all of these neccessary nutrients into a juicer, and made a juice out of them. He replaced every meal with juice for 60 days. He had a tough first couple days to a week. But after he was getting used to it, he had more energy, losing drastic amounts of weight, and not breaking out in the hives (disease he had). His system was "rebooting." By rebooting his system, and shocking it with just pure nutrients from fruits and vegetables, it gave his system the oppertunity to clean itself out and get rid of all the stuff he didnt need. By eating like crap his whole life,  he is paying for it now, and to think that his body is just eating off the burgers he has already had in the past, and it is just stored fat. Fruits and vegetables have all the nutrients that we need to live off of. how do you think we got to were we are meow?

So i decided to experiment with myself:
