Can this be a detox....?

[Guest guest]

First of all, let me thank all of you for posting all these

interesting messages here. I registered here a couple of days ago and

have been reading a lot of the earlier messages. I have for many

years been interested in this kind of nutrition, but never really

taken the final step to do it. I was always convinced, though, but I

still didn't really dare, I think, to give up all the foods I had

learned to love.

 

But here I am now, and I love it! It has been only a week, but

already I am experiencing wonderful changes like healing (I have had

cronic pain in my knees for years), weight loss, and high leves of

energy and a sense of clearity or lightness. This is truly the most

amazing experience I have ever had.

 

The thing is however, that I have not experienced any discomfort at

all. When I have tried this before I was soon overwhelmed by

headaches, dizziness and nausea, which caused me to end the whole

thing and go back to normal. This time however, I have not once had a

headache (even though I was a coffeine-addict), nor been hungry, nor

have I wanted any other food than fruits and nuts (I have eaten

vegetables, although I have not really wanted them). Should I

consider myself lucky and go on with it, or do you think that I am in

for a major " down " soon? I can almost not believe this myself, based

on my prior experiences plus of course what I have read from books

and on the internet about other people's experiences. I want to

detox, too, which can't be happening now, so easy, can it? I plan to

do a juicefast after Christmas anyhow.

 

Until then I am eating this way (I have a tiny bit of yoghurt with

som fruit for breakfast to help my stomach, but other than that I eat

100% raw with lots of water to drink). Once I week I plan to eat

whatever I feel like, for one meal, to not be too strict during the

transition. Also, for Christmas, I plan to eat the normal Norwegian

Christmas-food. I have a feeling that I will not want that food, but

that part is also about not upsetting my in-laws. Next year

however..

 

I planned this well I think, with sizing down portions of mye

original diet, taking many kinds of supplements (vitamins, minerals,

omega 3 and CLA) before I started, so maybe this is the cause to why

I haven't had the usual discomfort? I also exercise a lot usually,

but I have not been doing that this week as I was afraid I would not

have the energy, and that it would stimulate my appetite too much.

 

I would love to hear from others, about how and why you started out

with raw foods and what your experiences were like then and how you

feel now. If you would like to get in touch, my email-address should

appear on this message, or look at my -profile on the members-

area.
