I have sinned against you and the corn diet.
We went to the movies tonight and I was starving and I ate some movie popcorn (it wasn't buttered). I have no excuse to offer other than my obvious moral weakness. I shall eat my corn unseasoned tomorrow as penance.

Oooooh, I'm reading over my last post now and thinking about how it must have made you DRIP with guilt!
exactly!! i was already depressed with my failure then I had to read that!
Interesting blog. Stumbled upon it while viewing ehowa.com
Pretty funny and interesting idea actually and the writing is good which always helps when you are trying to read a blog. I have some experience in radical diets - I once fasted (as in nothing but water, seriously) for 14 days in a row - and was interested to see what your experience was with a single food diet.
But then I noticed that you said you are drinking juices, which was kind of a let down. By drinking juice, you are getting the same (or similar) nutritional value as if you were eating the real thing. So really you are on a corn and juice diet, which, depending on the variation of juice that you have been consuming, could actually be a fairly balanced diet. You just happen to be overloading on corn.
So... it's not too surprising that you don't really feel any different other than a healthy distaste for corn.
I would be really interested to see what you felt like on an actual corn only diet.
Anyways, not really trying to knock you, it's still an interesting read! Thanks.
Okay, I'm not tracking. How is eating popCORN not CORNforming with eating - you know - CORN?
No no, it's the yummy delicious yet completely forbidden oils that go on the popcorn. Plain, stale, completely cardboard-like air popped popcorn is accepted and encouraged!
So butter is a no-no, but juice is ok? I know I probably sound like an ass, but I'm really not trying to be. I'm very interested in this topic... um, shall we call it... uh - Radical Diets?? And I'm just trying to understand how or why you decided, for instance, that butter on popcorn was not in keeping with a corn only diet but apple juice was.
Surely the juice contains way more 'non-corn' nutrients than the butter.
Sorry if I seem abrasive. Text is so limiting...
Well, the point of Diet of Corn is to see what our poop looks like after a week of straight corn. That's it. We felt that oil and butter would effect that much more than juice would, as butter contains protein, and oil effects the way we digest things too. The goal was never to see how eating just corn would effect our moods or energy levels, just the poop. So it wasn't the nutrients that we were worried about, so much as the "likelihood to effect poop". Hope that helps you understand. Thanks for reading!
