Want to learn the secret?

You just have to make sure you get this first part right…

  • Buy spoiled or tainted sushi from a grocery store.
  • Even if it tastes questionable, just pour some soy sauce on it.
  • Chug down the entire tray in one sitting.
  • Then wait about 12 hours for the magic to happen.

*Bonus Points —> if you do this before flying to a fancy resort.

I used to think food poisoning was a joke.

I have had light food poisoning before, which wasn’t a big deal… sort of a similar feeling to the flu for a day or so.

I recently had my first battle with full-blown food poisoning.

It began before a 3 day seminar held at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton resort in Half Moon Bay, California.

As you can probably guess from the bullet points above…

I ate a tray of sushi I bought at a grocery store, the night before flying to the Bay Area in California.

The sushi even tasted odd, with a slimy film on the fish.

…but I made the choice to “power through” by pouring a lot of soy sauce on the sushi and eating it quickly.

Such a bad decision!

You see, I rarely waste food. I’m not sure where this urge comes from, but if I buy food…I pretty much eat it.

I will never “power through” questionable food again!

I missed out on an amazing time in an incredible setting.

Why I’m writing a post about food poisoning?

Well…the only thing that kept my spirits up was thinking about how funny this would be to post on my blog.

I’ve also done a bit of research since my bad sushi incident…

things to do to make food poisoning a little less painful.

The Story Begins…

It all starts with downing bad sushi the night before a flight to CA.

I knew immediately that something was wrong. I had a bad stomach ache during the night and sweat quite a bit.

I drank a large amount of water during the night, so I wouldn’t get dehydrated.

Nothing seemed too intense until my flight the next day.

Do I have Parkinson’s Disease?

About an hour into my flight, I began experiencing strange convulsions.

I wasn’t shivering or anything like that.

What I had looked a lot like Parkinson’s Disease.

I’m not trying to make light of Parkinson’s Disease or anything like that. It’s a terrible disease and I take it seriously.

The 20-something surfer girl to my left sees what is happening to me and says:

“Dude are you going to be okay?”

My response:

“Yeah…I just got a bit of food poisoning. I don’t think I’m going to vomit or anything.”

Then the shaking gets worse.

“Dude! Want me to call over the flight attendant?” 

For some reason I don’t want the flight attendants to see me shaking. Every time they walk buy, I pretend that I’m looking into my carry-on or flip through a magazine.

My deliberate movements mask my out-of-control shaking.

The woman to my right is not as supportive as the surfer girl.

She is using her sweater as a pillow, looks over at me,  and then uses the sleeve of her sweater to cover her mouth and nose.

I can tell she believes that what I have is contagious!

After we land and it is time for me to exit the plane, I’m a little stressed out.

I wasn’t sure how badly I would shake as I walked off the plane.

I make it off the plane largely unnoticed, but now what?

I am wondering if maybe I have an electrolyte imbalance from drinking so much water and sweating all night.

I walk to the airport newsstand and pick up two bottles of Powerade.

Little did I know that the Powerade “Keep Sweating” slogan was going to foreshadow the next few days.]

Halfway through my first bottle, I’m cured of all shaking.

I’m not someone who typically drinks sport drinks and I’m not sponsored by Powerade, but I was a HUGE fan of the stuff that day.

I leave the airport and get to the Ritz Carlton about 60 minutes later.

I take a nap and then head downstairs a couple hours later to attend a “meet and greet” event that was serving food and cocktails.

The room in the hotel we met up in was called the Observatory

…an incredible room on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

I felt fine for about 30 minutes, then starting feeling warm.

I looked down and my shirt was starting to show spots of sweat.

I knew something was wrong so I excused myself.

As I walked back to my room, through the lobby, those small spots of sweat on my shirt became bigger.

By the time I reached the elevator the entire front and back of my shirt was drenched…It was a very embarrassing elevator ride.

I felt like a sweaty freak.

I toweled off in my room and went to sleep.

I woke up the next day with soaked sheets, but showered and got ready for day one of the event.

I felt bad that first day and didn’t eat any food…but besides that it wasn’t a big deal.

That night is when the true horror began!

I’m guessing that 90% of my 25 pounds of weight loss actually happened in the tortuous 36 hours that were to follow.
