shake shack update

first of all inception was incredible and will only be confusing if you don't have an imagination.

second, here are my observations about my first dinner out on my diet:

  • i had a double burger with no bun, dry, with lettuce, tomato, pickle and onions. & one plain hot dog.
    • hamburgers are really really greasy without the bun to soak up all the fat. 
    • the burger was good but i think unless the meat is excellent cheese, ketchup and bun are necessary.
    • hot dogs are also very greasy when cooked on a flat top with no bun.
    • i like the hamburger better than the hot dog. 
    • overall i was pleased but surprised to find that pure protein did not tie me over as long as veggies and quinoa do. i had to grab some chopped veggies and berries about 2 hours later.
  • the other thing that started happening last night, which i didn't expect, is that i started feeling very unwell about 30 min after shake shack. 
    • i felt almost like i was detoxing, i was clammy, cold, sweating profusely. 
    • when i have done cleanses generally there is a period after your body eases into the process that it starts to eliminate all the waste (in this case the bacteria fighting themselves) and your body has a physical reaction. 
    • i fell better today but have not eaten anything so we will see.
i know it's not easy taking someone out to eat and watching them suffer with a plain burger patty. nate and skye were very gracious with me last night and i'm very grateful. i'll find a better way to participate soon enough.
