3 and a half hours ago I seriosuly overdosed on raw cacao nibs. I dind't even mean to. I just forgot that the dessert that I made for myself and overindulged in was literally just cacao and agave. WELL. I have never felt so horrible in my life. I have been unbelievably jittery for the past 3 and a half hours! I feel like I am on drugs! I do'nt even know what to do with myself. I just ate an avacado in a frenzy, probably because I needed to balance out the high magnesium in cacao with potassium. But honestly, I still feel jittery and HORRIBLE. I can't settle down and I am NOT going to be eating cacao for a very long time. Maybe even never again. AHHH. I can't believe David WOlfe endorses this. and sells it.

A couple years ago when it was first introduced, I got the nibs and didn't really care for the taste and fermented after-taste. Did leave me a little jittery as well.
However I just got some of the new powder and it's a lot different. A lot smoother as well. I used some in a banana coconut smoothie today and it was pretty good.Raw Step by Step

I don't think so much craving...as your body telling you to balance things.
Ya anyhow, burn off some of that energy and perhaps go for a walk. I don't do caffeine anymore...my body does the same thing with even tiny amounts.
Try a hot bath maybe...I wish you the best, just try to ride it out.
As my gramma used to say (well not really, but it sounds good) "This too shall pass"

Yeah I've been there. Got little sores on my tongue the next day when I over did it.
I think we can overdo anything though... even the best foods
Eat too many kale for too long? Too alkaline. Too many walnuts? My mouth will burn. Too much fruit? I'll space out. Too much salt? I'll get puffy. Just about balance. I don't think that means any of those foods aren't meant for us.
I don't think it means cacao is a less than excellent food
though we all have unique chemistry so perhaps it isn't the best ever in your systemhttp://hellosunshine.org
