I live 30 miles east of Bellingham, Washington, just a stone's throw from the Canadian border. I am trying raw for 30 days to see if it helps my diabetes. I also have borderline blood pressure and high cholesterol, and am obese.

So this is nearing the end of day 4. The second day I had a terrible headache and sick to my stomach. Yesterday and today I feel pretty good. I am having some cleansing with gastrointestinal problems and some cramps, but these are not too bad and I can handle it.

I am not totally raw yet. Everything is raw, but my green tea that I have with some unsweetened soy milk in it. I am eventually going to go off that also, but with everything else changing, I decided to use that for a coffee substitute (I am addicted to coffee). All my food has been raw, veggies, nuts, seeds, and fruit.

I can say that my terrible depression that I was experiencing has lifted after the third day, How fast is that for results? I feel happy, calm, hopeful, and vibrant already.

I can't wait to see how I will feel in 30 days.

Welcome! It sounds like you're doing great! I am healing depression with raw foods and I feel so much better after 3 months. If I eat a tiny bit of cooked food it comes back. So weird! Best wishes to you on your raw journey!!!!

Welcome!!! I am Jenn, and new myself. I am also a coffee addict. I was raw on EVERYTHING today except my 1 cup of coffee this morning. ugh...I will get off of it, but 1 cup is a big improvement to my usual 2-5 cups!!! :eek:

You have already seen a wonderful improvement, CONGRATS, it's great when our bodies speak to us with good results. ;)
