Hi all,
I've been at 80-90% raw for weeks now and it's just not going well for me. Stress pushed me back into diet/binge mode and even though I always felt great when I was doing raw, it always led to some kind of junk food binge. During stress I was craving not only cooked food but junk cooked food :(.
Luckily I got Alissa's book, Victoria's book, and Carol Alt's book all around the same time and even though I've become busy these days (my summer went just like that!) I've been trying to read them. And I think both Victoria and Alissa are right - that even the small percentage of cooked food I had (basically in the form of canned beans at dinner) was keeping the cravings alive. So I bought some dry beans and i'm going to try eating them sprouted instead .
So far things are going well. I do have some detox today (body temperature issues and the "fluish" feeling) but hopefully that should go away tomorrow.
