Hey guys just wanna introduce myself.
Im a 20 year old guy, currently in college, who has been dealing with diabetes type 1 since the age of 7.
I want to go on a raw food diet, its been 13 years of me not controlling my diabetes well, eating junk food, guzzling down sodas, eating candy while disregarding the consequences..
I just completed day one of eating raw. I have not done a LOT of research on what to eat and how to structure the diet so for today i ate:
Apples
Sweetcorn
Carrots
Onion
Bananas
Cashews
HOW DO I FEEL: I feel like crap to be honest. I am recovering from a bad cold and a phlegmy chesty cough. Perhaps this diet will help me recover faster? Theres something about the food im eating thats giving me a sense of clarity in my body - it feels great but i cant explain it.
Other than that ive noticed i have a bad headache (linked to my diabetes.. i dont know why it happens but its like a pulsating tension headache on the sides of my head.. if anyone knows any raw foods that can help that would be great)
Its only day one so things like that are expected. Im planning to make this a lifestyle.
Wish me luck!:D
