Why do I feel thirsty after eating a mixed salad/ smoothie? There is no salt or spices added to either. Today's lunch smoothie had a banana, plenty of fresh spinach, a carrot, powdered cacao nibs, ground linseeds, and water in it. I also get the same feeling if I eat a large mixed salad for lunch (of vegetables mainly, with or without home-made raw dressing - no salt).
This is quite a mystery. I can drink water all I like but the thirst won't go away. Could this be a detox symptom. I am now on my 3rd day of 100% raw diet (planning to go on for 100 days). But I have been partially raw for one year. And I've done longer stretches of 100% raw before with the same problem (never more than 3 weeks though in one go).
Thanks for any help...
