Is this normal... please give advice

[Ange]

Hello! Last night I started feeling really sick... sweaty, achey, sick to my stomach kind of stuff. It's about day 4 of being 70% raw. 70% raw means 70% of my day is being raw. I am raw at breakfast, snack, lunch, snack... I am not raw at dinner or in the evenings. But last night... WOW! And this morning too. I just feel bad, sweaty and achey mostly, and I do not have an appetite at all. I also have a slight headache. I don't know if it's that I am coming down with something, like a cold, or if it's my body reacting to my diet. I was vegetarian when I started and I also don't eat cheese. So I wouldn't think my body would feel this way over the diet change, but it's just weird. I just feel clamy....

Please let me know if this is normal! THANKS!!! Being healthy is really important to me!!!! :p

Sounds like it could be detox. Dunno.

how long does detox last? do i still detox if i'm not 100% raw?

Definitely sounds like detox....went through the same thing myself. Mine lasted about a week, everyone is different and it depends on how much garbage you need to clean out.

I keep wondering if some sort of stomach bug is going around, because it seems like everywhere I turn, particularly on these raw forums, people are getting sick. :( I know I for one have been getting sick these last couple weeks and had to go back to cooked for a little while to settle my stomach. I'm now gradually going back to raw and hoping I don't get sick again.

FEEL BETTER!
