Oh today has been a roller coaster of energy. This morning woke up extra early without being tired fully rested and full of energy. Did my morning water cleanse to get myself started for the day and then i was feeling lightheaded even though i wasn't hungry so i ate my 2 cookies and had my green smoothie and i was good to go then had some bowel issues shortly after..ugh just glad it passed. Then i packed for work made some eggplant bacon(yum) all was good my energy levels were back lightheadedness gone and went to work. I had plenty of energy at work and then all of a sudden i "crashed". I was cranky andfeeling sluggish adn sleepy so i tried eating a plum to give me an energy boost..nothing..eventually i started to feel hungry ate soe watermelon and finally my energy went up a bit after a while though. Then i was working along had a little hunger ate smoe kale chips felt good and then i crashed and figured it was hunger related to i had my sandwhich..of course levels were up and i was groovin again now here i am sitting on the desk waiting to go home super tired and cranky and exhausted and i'm not sure why. My food has never taken me on such a wild energy ride before and i'm not liking it. I also think the sprouts re too hard for my body to digest as i don't feel too good after eating them..ugh idk i just want to go in a cave adn sleep forever..also i'm hungry but the only foods that sound yummy are nuts and fruit bleeehhhhhhh!!!!

    I feel a bit icky after sprouted chick peas and lentils can be a bit much sometimes too.

    I hope you feel more settled today. Yay for it being Friday :)

    I couldn't help but notice, I have the same problems - try eating MORE! You have to remember to consume more calories when you're eating raw food. It's a bit of an extra effort but for most people that's good news :) Notice your energy spikes are immediately after you eat... you're burning right through the good food instead of storing it, so I would at least give it a shot. I wish you the best.
