PMS or Detoxing?

[Blondie8]

I've been 100% raw for about 2 weeks now. It's been a little tough only because I'm supposed to be getting my period soon and it was hard having regular cooked food cravings, plus ones I would normally get with getting my period.
I've noticed that yesterday and today, I've been feeling a bit sick to my stomach. Since I've started being raw, I've been hungry every hour or so and I don't know if I'm just starting to feel too full now or if I am having systems of detoxing. Today I haven't been too hungry at all and been feeling dizzy, had trouble getting out of bed, have a headache, achy all over, feeling heavy and a little depressed.
It's hard to tell what exactly is going on since my body is probably going through a lot now anyway.

Does anyone have any advice?

I'd really appreciate it

if you feel dizzy for sure eat more. GS are a really good and palatable way to get some food in. Or juice.

or eat a huge fresh juicy pinapple for dinner. if you have a raw food type store you canbuy pre-made raw chocolate cookies...expensive yes, but yummy and might help with any extra cravings your having (like, say for shocolate??).
hang in there. it will get better. but it does sound like detox and IMO those symptoms amplify at that time of the month...at least to me they do. and when you feel crappy its no fun no matter WHY you feel crappy. : /
