Hi All
I just finished the MC, but at Day 6 because I was detoxing very hard...I almost passed out while driving. So I decided to do raw. Although it should be simple to eat fruits and vegetables..I feel overwhelmed and anxious about it all.
I even had a slice a pizza today because I had a salt craving. Now I'm drinking my detox tea and doing a salt water flush in the morning to get rid of it.
The reason I want to go raw is for health and to advoid family history. Two of my aunts have had battles with cancer ( one use raw to beat it), my mother has glacoma, my grandmother and an uncle suffered a stroke in the past two years and I've had numerous health issues growing up. I'm have a rather weak immmune system and tend to get sick. I've also gained about 50-60 between two pregnancies ( which result in second semester miscarriages) in a 2 year span. I gained so much weight by binging on fried chicken, pringles, and french fries.
I'm use to be an athlete and professional dancer. I miss the lightness and energy levels of my former self. I must admit that even then I didn't eat well. I just usually ate less foods as I didn't have much of an appetite, however I tended to eat a heavy two meals a day which I guess meet my calorie needs for the day.
I guess my plan right now after my detox tea and flush is to try juicing and smoothies for a while. I want to see how my body reacts to this. One because it's simple and two because it cheap...lo I'm a college student on a budget.
Am: MC drink: lemonade/maple syrup and cayenne
Lunch: green smoothie or soup
PM: green smoothie or soup
Snacks: easly digestible fruit like, soft fruits. Maybe a luna bar or avocado hear and there.
Also I crave salty crunchy things, any suggestions for raw foods that might help or what this means in terms of mineral or vitamin deficiencies?
I'm looking forward to the support and the membership of this community. I also plan to buy Alissa's books soon.
