I just want to concur with the more experienced Rawsters that going completely off RAW for a few days feels like Hell!
We had a block party on Saturday and then I had a graduation party here on Sunday for my sister, and I didn't put any thought or consideration into myself or what I could do to maintain my progress as far as my eating.
Let me tell you, just as so many people have posted on here before, I woke up Monday morning feeling like I had the flu. Beer, chips, salsa, casseroles, cake...you name it, I ate it (no meat, but other garbage). Monday and Tuesday, I have had severe sinus drainage, intense headaches and insane nausea. My body aches and I tried to get on track this morning with a green smoothie, but it tasted so horrible to me (normally I LOVE the smoothies) that I had to force some of it down and then I ended up dumping it and eating an apple. I'm going to try again for lunch to eat a smoothie.
Perhaps you are one of those people that needs to be slapped down in order to learn a lesson, but if you aren't, take it from me...the feeling of falling off the RAW wagon is miserable - and perhaps may be enough to deter you from getting off track in the first place.
Happy Munching!:D
