Well yesterday did not go well, but i am trying to look at the positives, because i managed to do about 50% raw...

i was planning on doing 100%, but at lunch i started to feel really nauseated, got a severe migraine, diahrhea and could only eat 1/2 of my lunch. i took 1/2 a sick day and went home to rest.

i got home and took a 3 hour nap, and when i woke up i had a non-raw dinner and immeditely felt better. i know my body was revolting the raw somewhat, so i thought i give it a little breather.

today i feel fantasic, have had some glorious poops, and will try to do as much raw as i can... if i can't do a full day completely raw, i will at least make the effort to eat completely vegan. it's a step in the right direction.

so far today i've had a green smoothie with:
1 banana
1 small apple
1 bunch of leafy green (still have no idea what they are called. maybe loki?)
1/4 c. mixed berries.

it was delectable.

i have today off as well, just so i can have easy access to the bathroom if i find it is not going well...

here is to day 3!

ellelit,some people seem more toxic when starting out and experience more of this sort of thing.I love what a person on here said to me in emotional releases I have been having.Better out than in.I choose detox reactions over toxic sick from the standard american diet. I actually welcome detox. Although I hear you,it isnt fun.
Yes cooked food slows the detox down and thats ok.Be reasonable with yourself in this.You still go to work and need to function through it.The cleaner you get as time goes by.the better life will be.Trust us who have been rawbees for a while.
Feel better.Love yourself through this it will be ok.A hug for you.
