What symptoms should I expect while Detoxing?

[dlt123]

Hello, I did a search here and didn't find anything that could address my question...

What should one expect, as associated with Detoxing, when they change from a SAD and MAD diet to Juicing and a Raw food diet?

In other words, what symptoms should we expect to experience while starting our Raw journey?

I'm not sure if it's me but I sometimes feel a little grumpy... Although I think this might be a ongoing prior condition. :p :rolleyes:

What have others experienced or felt during their Detoxing?

Thanks,
Dennis

Grumpy and moody. Also had flu like symptoms. Tired, lethargic. Bad breath, excessive sweating. Had days where I just slept all day. Had major raw food binges - like, I had a few weeks, yes I said weeks, where I simply could NOT eat enough radishes. So, I ate radishes like there was no tomorrow.

Best thing I can say is to listen to your body, give it what it is craving, and treat it with love and respect. That said, you get to a point where you can tell you are craving something because it's good for you verses feeding an addiction. ;)

Had some pretty crappy days. I dextox a lot of emotional stuff. Emotionaly roller coaster days. Pimples, gas, aches, pains, oh yeah...its fun. It is all part of the process. Keep your eye on the prize. Agree about the cravings. Some days I could taste the SAD food I hadn't eaten in weeks. One day all I could taste and smell was Captain Crunch. I know it had been at least 2 years since I had any of that junk. Weird huh?!

Yeah Cathy, I can relate... I've had my worse day today. I've had some nausea, flu like pains, slight fever, diarrhea and I've been really sleepy today. I took two naps.

I'm not normally like this so it makes me wonder if I am experiencing sever detox or if I in fact have a bug or something.

I'll see how I feel tomorrow... for now I'm heading to bed and watching a little tube.
