Just a curiosity question to get some opinions or experiences.
I am on day 3 of being back on raw. The first two days I was "hungry".... total mind play though in my opinion. I woke up this morning and lounged in the bed until about 9:30, although I felt a difference in my energy and could have gotten going earlier. I expect that my energy will totally peak and ebb as I detox, but it was a nice smooth energy and I am glad.
I started cleaning house (my dh really appreciated that!!) and realized about 12:30 or so that I had not eaten or drank today. No big deal, just interesting. I knew I needed to at least drink some water though.
I made the "KFC" coleslaw (good by the way) and tasted about three bites. I had shredded the whole head of cabbage, so I mixed the rest with light dressing of almond milk, nutritional yeast, sea salt, garlic and cayenne. (was experimenting, but it was pretty tasty!!) I ate about 8-10 bites and am really not hungry any more. Trust me, I have about 75 lbs to lose, so I don't mind not being hungry, but it just seems a bit strange. Think its some healing/detox going on? I know I have some major healing that has to take place in my body, so maybe my body needs to focus on that more than digesting food, eh? I got my big 52 oz jug out that I drink water out of and filled it with ice and water and it is about empty. I am very full and almost a bit bloated feeling though now! :rolleyes: ;)
Well, just sitting here thinking about it, so thought I would post. It is so great to be back on raw! My body is so much happier and my mind is way more peaceful (my dh and ds will appreciate that!). I have lost about 3 lbs already by being back on track and eating right!!! HOOREY!!!
Anyway, I plan on listening to my body today about what and when to eat, but figured I bend some ears about it...
