So I went to a three week job training on Petaluma, Ca and was surrounded by the most amazing vegan pastries... Yes, I caved in and went to town stuffing my face and gaining who know how much weight but my pants are sporting a muffin top. Today is the second day I've been back to eating mostly raw (I had a coffee yesterday and today, coffee can be soooo good), the thing is I woke up with a sore throat a mild headache and kinda down... I then later in the had a lovely bowel movement and it was like a cow pie. Yep, totally unexpected because my tummy wasn't hurting or crampy and it was like a diarrhea cow pie. Do you think all of this is because of detoxing? Already?? I am still having coffee, so its not like I went cold turkey back into raw. Hmmmm, just wondering what my body is saying to me! Hope everyone is having a good monday!!

nomnomnomnom...!

There isn't much if any fiber in pastries. Wholesome produce has plenty of good roughage to "whisk" a person clean with a solid poo.

Forgive me, but your post just made me laugh and laugh because of your humor. I've been there. I'm sure we've ALL been there!! Sore throat, headache, and depression = all symptoms of toxic waste build-up from the rich cooked foods that are unfamiliar to your body. Coffee is a natural diruetic and can also stimulate peristalsis (bowel movement). So all of that combined resulted in a good old fashioned "bowl-wrapper" (as dear hubby calls it proudly when he exits the bathroom with his well-read motorcycle magazine in-hand! *LOLOL*). It is important to drink ALOT of pure water to flush out your system from all the rich surprises you enjoyed the previous day.

You'll be back to normal soon. =)
