    Default what if I went cold turkey?

    I hear that you are supposed to eat veggies for a few days, then just strained juice, then start the MC, but I'm really having trouble with that and always end up eating cooked by the end of the day. What would happen if I went from 75%raw and 25% cooked to the MC? Just jumpin' in seems like it would work, but would it be harmful?

    what do you think?

    Hi Purl!

    I am on Day 5 of the MC and I started cold turkey. I believe I am on track for detox and feel OK. After eating a seriously nasty SAD diet last week, I just didn't think I would ever get to the MC if I didn't just jump in. I haven't experienced anything I consider "harmful" yet and I think the most difficult parts are behind me.
    Good Luck!
    Kate.
