Detox Problems, Rapid Weight loss
Posted by: selenes512 ()

I have been 100% raw for over a month now, and on and off raw for almost a year. This past week or two I have begun losing weight rapidly. I used to have an ED, and when I first went raw, I actually gained a bit of weight, but now I feel like I am wasting away (and this time, I dont like it!). I feel weak, I get light headed every time I stand up. I have no apetite at all, but I have been forcing myself to eat between 1000-2000 calroies per day. Even when I had an ED, I always had very good muscle tone, but I have lost all my muscle mass. I am 5'6 and around 105 pounds right now. I feel like my body is disintergrating, and I dont feel strong enough to work out. I am assuming this is a detox period. Does anybody have any tips on how to slow weight loss? I dont want to eat tons of fats because they upset my digestion. Should I try to slow my detox, or speed it up and get it over with? What was your experience like with this?

Join da club! I went from 185 lbs. to 142 lbs. in about 6 months. I didn't care much but I kinda let other people's comments get to me and that didn't help with the detox.

I'm no expert but eating alot of Mangoes, Avocados, Hemp protein powder & Udo's choice 3-6-9 really helped me out, I have gained about 8 pounds.

Just be gentle and easy about it.
