Im restarting raw tommorow.. im noticing alot of things that i didnt realize before. for example

when i was raw
1. my bowels more frequent, *daily*
2. i had more energy
3. i slept better, and wasnt tried throughout the day
4. no acne breakouts
5. i was less moody


now that i am no longer raw i have realized
1. im gasy....
2. i dont have bowels movesments as often as i would like
3. i am always tired,
4. i dont sleep as long as i would like but 3 hours here 3 hours there
5. i am moody as hell
6. i get more acne


last time i just stop eating meat and cooked foods and just went cold turkey on the raw veggies and fruits now im looking to maybe fast or whatever into it...any suggestions?

and i cannot read thourgh the entire forum because i am on my cellphone.. your input is greatly appreciated

i am a vegitarian going into being a raw food vegan

Welcome, this is such a great & supportive forum, no judgement here! Do you have Alissa's book? Her 3 hour DVD is great to view if you are need of motavation!

fasting is fine if you feel led to do that - but when you are making changes in your life -- to deprive yourself initially might things a little harder... and might lead to binging cuz you are starving!

so -- fasting is great - just make sure you are ready for a fast -- mentally and physically.

If you choose to just eat wisely without fasting -- then just make wise choices. If you don't have Alissa's book - you might consider getting one. It is an amazing tool to help you transition successfully to the raw and vibrant foods!

rawk on --- good luck!! :D

Try Nature's Secret brand Ultimate Fasting Kit. I got it on Amazon.com for wayyy cheaper than any stores, and I scored free shipping! I did it for one day and felt sooo amazing! I had so much energy, it was fantastic. It's a five day program, but I only needed one day to get back on track. Stopping your food intake reeeeally makes you wish you could eat delicious raw foods :) I had to break my fast because I was craving OJ sooo badly! yum!
