My first day at 100% raw....

[jenna rose]

....and I feel like I'm already starting to go through detox.... :confused:


Is that normal to start that early? I know everyone is different, but I thought it would happen around week 2 or the end of week 1, atleast.

I ate whenever I was hungry. But I already have quite a headache and I haven't gotten a headache in a long time now.

Yep! It's very common to have a headache for the first day and for some, the first couple of/few days of eating 100% raw. Some (not all) do enemas to help move things along and relieve headaches but it's very important that you try and not suppress the headache by using asperin, tylenol, etc.

YES! The first 3 days of raw I felt like CRAP. I was coming off of a major coffee addiction and I thought my head was going to explode but by day 4 I was feeling awesome!

Hang in there.

Hi, I am one that started detoxing immediately, I don't know if this is because I was so toxic, or because I had been a vegan for years, but either way, the first day was headache city, then after that just a little tired.

I do dry sauna every day, and drink lots, tons, gallons, mass quantities of water, so that really helps, also the first day of raw I ate only fruit, as this helped me alot because I love fruit, and that's all I wanted, and it just seemed easier to digest, when I wasn't feeling too well.

Usually when I get headaches, I just naturally let it pass. I'm especially going to do that now.

lol. I think I'm going to have to opt out of the enema, though. We don't get along very well. I think I can just wait all of this feeling out on my own.

Thanks for the encouragement, Angie. I think your coffee addiction may be just like me drinking too much damn soda. That also may be why I had such a headache last night. But I'd love it if I could go ahead and start detoxing right off the bat.

A few months ago I went from omni to vegan, mainly for ethical reasons, but the more I read up on it I was glad to be doing it for the enviroment and my health, as well. yesterday I was having to deal with the headaches and today I am a little sleepy; feeling kinda blah-ish/run down.

I've been keeping lots and lots of water down, though. For a while, now, I've been trying to drink more 70oz a day, sometimes as much as 100oz and more. I don't want to overdo that, though. I'm heavier now so I know I can drink more than usual.

Jenna rose, sounds like you are doing great.

KEEP up the good work, we are with you.

I drink about 80-110 oz of water a day...I love it....sometimes I worry that i drink too much!
