Day 15 (9th July)

Breakfast: smoothie of 12 bananas, 3 persimmons, kale

Lunch: 1 pineapple, 0.5 kg mandarins, 2 pears

Dinner: raw soup (1mango, 1 red bell pepper, 1 tomato, ginger) + salad of kale, 1 tomato, half avocado, leeks, cucumber, lemon juice

Calories: Around 2900

Water: 2.5 l

Exercise: none

Sleep: 5 hours

Feelings: Ate a lot today.. considering the fact that I wasn't exercising. Didnt have enough sleep. Felt tired, probably that's why ate so much. So proud of myself for staying away from coffee, even if I haven't had a proper sleep.

By the way, is it normal that it takes me 3-4 hours to drink my breakfast smoothie? I just can't do it quicker, it's usually a 800ml bottle + 1.5 l bottle, so a big volume..

Day 17 (11th july)
Breakfast: smoothie of kale and 12 bananas
Lunch: pineapple ( i know that not enough... Pineapple burnt my mouth and I couldn't eat any other sour fruit, and didn't have sweet fruit with me at work)
Dinner: salad of 4 cups mixed greens, 3 tomatoes, leek, cauliflower, 1 small avocado, lemon juice
Calories: About 2100
Water: 3.75 l
Exercise: 30min run (5.15 km), 30 min arms weights

Feelings: considering my lack of sleep and calories today, i really surprised myself how much energy I had at the gym! Not too sure where it came from but definitely enjoyed it!
I'm solving my sleep issue, its 10.30pm and I'm already in bed. This is the last thing i'm doing before sleeping. Goodnight fellow fruit lovers :)

Day 18 (12th July)

Breakfast: smoothie of 10 bananas, kale, 2 pears

Dinner: Salad of mixed greens, 1 tomato, leek, califlower, half avocado, lemon juice, bean sprouts; 1 apple

Calories: around 2200

Water: 3.5 l

Feelings: feeling really good. I need to eat more fruit though which is quite challenging in winter. My bananas just don't seem to ever fully ripen, sort of get grayish before getting spotty. Mandarins and ripened pineapples (which also could be a challenge to get) are the most reliable sources of calories. I really want to move to tropics..

Feelings: What an amazing day! Lots of energy and felt so good after having so much sleep :) The only challenge is that I'm getting a bit bored with the same food every day :/ I can't get different ingredients than I'm using now (unless I pay my arm and leg). I guess I need to find more recipes and time..
