The task was to eat nothing but asparagus all day. Unfortunately we dont have any asparagus at my house and I have no idea how to cook it even if I bought some so I improvised yet again. I decided to eat nothing but fruit all day. Okay, maybe that sounds like a cop out. But think again.
In the morning I had to convince my mom to only pack fruit in my lunch box. That was quite a battle, she still packed a sandwich because she thought i was being weird. I ate applesauce and an an apple and 100% fruit juice for breakfast. Lunch was an apple and mango flavored applesauce and fruit flavored water. When I got home I had another apple and some watermelon while my sister ate chips and whatever else she wanted, making me extremely jealous. On the way to the football game we stopped by Arby's and I couldnt get anything. After the game I ate dried fruit, then we went to Taco Bell, and once again, I was starving but I couldnt get anything. When we got to my friend Felicity's house luckily they had peaches so I ate one of those. It was depressing to not be able to eat other things. I could never do something like that in the long term. Depriving myself only worked because I was like "I can eat all of this stuff tomorrow, it's not a big deal." I just got home from sleeping over at Felicity's and I'm about to go make a huge breakfast.
As far as effects on my health, I'm not really sure that the fruit diet did to me. I woke up this morning thinking I was fat because I had this dream that I got up and when I looked in the mirror I had a really fat stomach and I thought "i shouldnt have eatten all that fruit.." It was really weird. Maybe the fruit made me dream? I'm just glad I didnt get sick.
I've decided to figure out how many servings of fruit and how many calories and crap yesterday was.
Breakfast: 1 apple, 1/2 cup of applesauce, 1 small glass of juice
Lunch: 1 apple, 1/2 cup of applesauce, water
Snack: 1 apple
Dinner: 2 pieces of watermelon
Snack: 1/2 cup of dried fruit
Late-night snack: Peach
okay so here goes:
calories: 785 (not enough, yikes. I guess I should have eaten a lot more fruit. I just felt sick eating so much of it.)
fat: 2 g (not enough.. need between 38 and 53 g)
Carbs: 204 (in the good range!)
Fiber: 18 (not enough)
Sugar: 144 (YIKES. you're only supposed to have up to 30)
Protein: 8 (another yikes, you need at least 49)
So yesterday's food was probably really bad for me.
If you're wondering, I got the information above from www.calorieconnect.com, which is a really cool site.

Awwww man...you really did the task well. I'm proud of you for going all day though. That's really tough self-discipline. I need to try that calorie connect thing.
