Kirk’s Blog

It’s been a while since I made a post, but I figured I’d deliver a long overdue update. I’ve felt fully adjusted to the raw diet for some time now. The first week was really rough. I might have strangled someone for a bowl of rice. After that, it became considerably easier. During the entire first month, I still craved non-raw foods, but I was able to stuff my belly full of raw foods so I didn’t have to think about it too much. After the first month, I only craved raw foods. After the first two months, I felt fully integrated in the diet. Since then, the only thing I have to do now to maintain the diet is just plan to make sure I have food around when I’ll be hungry. In the beginning it took a lot of focus and planning on what to eat. Now it’s mostly robotic - I pick up stuff at the grocery and make bulk dishes as usual. I also keep plenty of fruits around to munch on throughout the day.

I imagine it’s very similar to what would be required of a transition to polyphasic sleep, and I wonder if the time scale would be the same. After a while, all that would be required to maintain the schedule would be planning, which would become second-nature.
