My face looks like a pizza

[bearlove]

Hey fellow raw foodians , been raw for just over week and a bit , and and some questions (ahem again)

firstly my face looks like a pizza , not the eating kind , just tons and tons of spots , i imagaine its the detox???? but i never ever get spots though

2nd omg i am having the filthiest dirtiest of headaches , the kind that make you wanna barf (disgusting i know)

so how long till it gets better ? is this usual? and can i speed up the process?

on a lighter note , I am loving being raw , it kind feels like when i tried quitting smoking (clean for 7 months now and counting) but im not really experiencing sugar lows like i expected

Just the oddest thing around about 4 ish in the afternoon I could litereally fall asleep right there , haha I have visions of me just falling asleep in my bowl of salad

Also I cannot sleep at night has anyone experienced this ?

MUCH LOVE EVERYONE XXXX:D

Yes, headaches are pretty common when your body goes through a detox. I've had the most horrible headaches when I made big changes to my diet. I know the type of headache you are talking about. :eek: The face spots probably a result of detox too.

Our bodies become addicted to foods that are really bad for us, and so when we when stop eating those foods our bodies react to that. Think of an addict that goes through a drug withdrawal. They have stopped taking a toxic substance yet they must go through a horrible withdrawal.

Drinking lots of water really helps to flush toxins out of the body, and helps with the nausea.

Am really enjoying the detox to be honest am going through the same things.. am looking at it as the body getting its revenge on me, then we can be friends again lol ;)

I have had a mild headache and some minor digestion issues since going raw. If this is as bad as it is going to get I guess I am having a mild detox.

I hope you feel better soon.

Ive only been raw three weeks but what u just descirbed is my exact detox. i got major sick to and the headache, that was about three days long made me cry and cry and cry. but i was strong and i worked through it and i havne't had one issue since, my skin, also made me cry, has now cleared up within two weeks and i love my face more now then i ever have. i can't beleive how quickly thr process came and went. i will tell u, the only thing that brought me releif from my headache was cold cold water. and it only worked while i was driking it so for about three days i had water and a straw glued tomy hip because it made me feel better as i was drinkig it. I was worried that i would never feel better again and now i feel great! Plus remembering what i went through is enough to keep me raw because i dont EVER want to go through it that intensly again!
