Hungry for a Month
Evan ate for a month spending less than a dollar a day. During that time he dropped eighteen pounds and ate a lot of bland, starchy food.
I don't even feel like I'm eating less anymore. In fact, for the past few days I've felt like I'm over eating. I pretty much force myself to eat more because I get scared when I do the math on the amount of calories I've consumed that day and find them to be dangerously low. I've said it before, but it's amazing to me that in such a short amount of time my body has completely adjusted to this way of life. I'm consuming less than half the amount of food I used to and I don't even notice it.
If it were me, I'd buy a big bag of rice, a big bag of lentils, kale or other cheap greens and eat like a champ. A bored champ on a bland, monotonous, but nutritious diet.
