My first day returning to RAW foods

[Crissy Snow]

I woke up 8:00am this morning to prepare all my raw food. I peeled, cut, and chopped my stuff and stored them in containers. My fridge looks like an exotic jungle lol. My mom helped with the expenses and it was alot of money but she told me don't worry about it as long as you are happy and healthy. It put a smile on my face.

Basically I bought lots of fruits to make smoothies and raw ice cream. But there is one exception to this and this is the coconut milk which wasn't raw and the store doesn't have coconuts. Very frustrating but I dealt with it.

As for today I had a really yummy smoothie followed by a huge bowl of salad. Now my throat is itchy and I feel light headed, almost as if I am coming down with the flu. I think as soon as I ate and drank fresh raw foods I started my detox immediately.

I am hoping to keep this up for a lifetime, and not deviate from it. And I am glad I found my support here.

Good for you! I'm so glad that you have support at home and here on the board. That makes it so much easier to be strong. Hope the detox isn't to severe and you can get that healthy feeling and glow quickly. ;)

That's wonderful and so glad you have your Mom's loving support.

Drink plenty of water the next few days...will help with the detox and flush out the toxins.

Happy New Year!!

Thanks you guys! Unfortunately I still have a headache.... I drank nearly a gallon water after I ate a huge bowl of spinach.

Just a warning on canned coconut milk and anything else canned, all cans have a plastic coating inside which dissolves into the can's contents, causing it to have up to 200 times the legal limit of toxic and cancer causing chemicals. I avoid anything canned, even if it's organic, it's just as toxic.

Hang in there, we are here for you..........

Congratulations! :D

Celery plus the water really helped with my detox, especially those headaches! I would eat an entire head of organic celery for lunch a day. Something about the fiber & natural sodium I think. Keep it up with the H2O intake!

Best wishes!!

So far I have been eating raw well let's just say 90% because of other stuff. So today I woke up this morning and my face wasn't oily! I have super oily skin and when I woke up today I rubbed my face and I am thinking did I wash my face last night before I went to bed. I didn't I was too tired and that's what I remember. My skin is oil free! Time to go to phase 2 of raw which is 95%! ^_^ I love it so far.
