Day 1, Morning
Why does it sting going down
First set of pills and powders down by 7:15 AM. Vitamin burps from the pills, not unexpected. But the powder, man... I think I wound up taking it with 12 oz water and a squirt of Mio water flavoring. It stings my throat. Maybe it wouldn't if I used more water. I mean, if it was a nice alcohol burn, that'd be okay, but the stinging is just weird.
Gonna try to take it slow and easy today. I expended a lot of energy prepping stuff yesterday.
Afternoon
Lunchtime after a long nap. Tinned sardines in olive oil, red peppers, and a wild rice blend with some lemon juice for flavor. Tastes pretty good. The powders are also tolerable when mixed with 12 oz water to begin with, as Ian recommended. I'll be playing around with the flavoring a bit more.
Evening
I think my first day's gone fine. Dinner was baked salmon and roasted broccoli over rice with butter; I'll be repeating this lunch and dinner for the next few days. No apparent adverse effects thus far, so I appear to not be violently allergic to something I never before knew existed.
8 ounces of coconut milk is the best powder carrier I've found so far, but I still have some empty capsules coming to try to deal with the more undesirable flavors.
Attached is the aforementioned document laying out everything in a format friendly to preparation; probably doesn't look good printed yet, but one thing at a time.
