Thanks for the tips about keeping mental notes on the food front, Jodie. I know, what a complete nuisance on the wine front, affected my whole weekend. So strong, the perfume!
With regards the pizza crust I thought I'd do the same crust add more agave and ginger and cinammon and make gingerbread men for the children! I think they will like them as they now know biscuits are a no no.

Well I finally got my time of the month, mentioning primarily out of raw interest, in that I was about 10 days late, unheard of in my regular cycle world, although I didn't have one last time I went raw either, just a bit of spotting then nada. I am sorry to be a bit graphic, but it's interesting isn't it how a diet change affects something which I thought was a permanent bodily function.

This is my posting for yesterday which was a horrible day in that I had a violent reaction to the 3 glasses of wine I drank at music night. It was a rose and it was horrid tasting but Gil, the owner pours it for free as we are sharing the music evening with him. I didn't feel too bad at the time but was sick on the pavement in town following a meeting with a friend in a hot bar with stron

I've not tried kale...I can't find seeds in France and it's not on sale here generally, but my neighbour kindly gave me home grown collard greens, called 'bettarave' here, which I found out is genetically very similar. Very excited!
I wondered if anyone knew both and could make a comparision for me regarding flavour? I am going to try collard green chips and also a massaged salad. Any thoughts

Thankyou so much for your encouraging posts Sundancer and Pam Pam, I love that you enjoy reading my posts. Must be the ego in me. It does spur me on though.
I think my ex is stuck in the 80's too. I hope one day I can look back and think how far I've come...away from him and with movement on in my life. Interesting to hear you've had the same, although worse by the sounds of it. I am

Despite a very disturbed night with the boys I had a good day, although felt a little spacey and emotional. Felt I had a cold when I got up but it quickly cleared.This afternoon I went on a 1 1/2 hr hike with two friends and had a lovely time. I went to book group this evening, went to the expense of a babysitter and everything. It was such fun, I love book club.'Like Water for Chocolate'

Ooh, feeling better, oh yes definitely better. I had loads of apples around 11, as many as I could eat following the usual banana and spinach smoothie for breakfast then around 1pm I had what can only be described as a surprisingly delicious cauliflower soup with cucumber, avocado, lemon, courgette and ground sunflower seeds in there. 2 bowls later I took the boys to the pool and I have g

If you don't mind advice from a newbie I would suggest you take a vegan supplement if you are not doing so already. It seems to help ground me a little. Denser dehydrated foods and nuts are good. Maybe you could play around with higher fat and certainly the greens as you suggested.

Do you generally feel LOADS better than on sad, I ask because I am 20 days in and detoxing still and would love a bit of encouragement? What's the good side of 2 1/2 months raw? Well done by the way.
Thanks,

You could read 'Evie's kitchen' if you've not already done so. My boys are 3 and 2 years old and having just been pummelled in rage yesterday by the oldest I vowed I would never give them biscuits in the house again. Today they got steamed broccolli on their arrival home from school at lunch time and raisins this evening. Only having recently turned raw I do not feel I can change things too drast

Another day raw. Still grumpy from feeling fatigue, not energy and I am absolutely sure the caffeine detox is the culprit, surprised as I am. Headachy this evening. Still, kept it low on the physical stuff today and sat on the sofa and read my book for book club (in tears several times, it's a good one 'Like Water for Chocolate'), made out and sent my invites for my charity music night wh

So I've put on weight round my stomach again, I've been eating a lots of avocados! After the caffeine leaves my system, I'm going to have a closer look at my diet, but for now I feel weak and tired still, and a bit low and grumpy this is all going on so long, but I know that this will pass in time. I have never stopped having caffeine so this is a new thing for me. Came up in a mouth ulce

Doing a lot better today! Headache in the morning which returned slightly in the evening, and still spacey, but the boys were with Daddy so I relaxed by preparing flax seed crackers and listening to raw vegan radio. Felt great for a little while there in the afternoon. Cravings for cooked have definitely lessened but impact of this lifestyle change, although too early to tell, are muted t

Ok so this is caffeine detox. Thank God I'm doing it! If it makes your body feel this bad when you quit it can't be doing any good. It's also a bit of a shame that I have to take a chunk of time out to deal with this, headache, weakness, even nausea. And that's just a pint of green tea per day!
That's it, I'll come clean, I had a fair size slug of gin and tonic last night at music nig

Another day on raw. I tell you what happened today, bizarre, and it happened yesterday, when I started raw I didn't fancy my green tea at all, just didn't seem to want it and certainly didn't like the taste. Yesterday I felt nauseous after my large cup but dismissed it because frankly I have never gone with out caffeine of any description and wasn't ready to face the headaches! Well now I

So 2 weeks today on raw.
I am still tired but today felt an increase in energy or at least I felt I had more stamina, still a little spacey and tired, but generally almost back to normal except better. I think another week and I will be jumping through hoops again. Brain foggy today still definitely. When I did my nordic walk I felt strong and went the whole length (uphill for 40 mins

Thank you for all your kind words of support and advice. It means a lot to me. For starters I was not drinking enough and hadn't realised that all the dried stiff was dehydrating me. I had got it into my head that tap water was not good for me, but didn't want to buy mineral bottled water but wanted to locate a spring to get my water naturally! So I stopped drinking a lot, which is pretty

Feeling tired and a little dizzy. Due I think as much to the increase in mental energy and physical energy during the day as the detox symptons now. I looked back on my last trial, and it took 14 days for the tiredness to lift completely, and I was detoxing a more rapidly due to the hour of hiking I was doing daily. So we'll see. Constipation definitely less due to the lettuce yesterday s

Well done, looking forward to hearing your posts. I am 11 days in on my second try high raw, no cooked, first one lasted 6 weeks with a few slip ups a few months ago. I will be interested to see if your experience is similar to mine. Best of luck.

OK, definite improvement now at least, certainly not suffering. Dead weight heaviness has lifted. Feeling buzzy still. Starting to regain that clear mindedness I remember from last time. Face is starting to get silky. Bleeding gums when brushing teeth last night and cold sore again reapearing. What's all that about? three weeks today no cigs.
