Felt nauseous this morning and knackered this afternoon. Emotionally see sawing.

Thankyou rawlibrarian, those were some really helpful comments.
I didn't use braggs, not something I can get here in France to easily, I substituted a teaspoon of marmite. I'm backing off for a while, just the thought makes me feel nauseous. But I'm new and detoxing so goodness knows whats going on with the body anyway.
I felt horrible this morning too and very tired in the afternoon. Could

Did the stuffed mushrooms today from this site and felt Very queer after, to coin an old fashioned phrase.Heady, dizzy, nauseous almost, sore throat later on. Felt 'orrible' I've had this before with mushrooms. Thought it was my imagination or dismissed it because I like mushrooms. I shall dehydrate them more and then give them away to a friend who's into raw. I can't face that again! Anyone else

Thankyou Suncloud. Things are settling, yes. It's going to be some time before I am in a newly created good space.
I have been playing with my new dehydrater and other recipes. I'm sorry to say not all successful!

Dear all, time for a new post.
Do you know I never saw any of your supportive posts back to me? I just checked today some two months later and was so pleased to see all those supportive messages from you all. Thankyou SO much. But I sort of stopped posting because I didn't see any of those and I have no idea why! How strange. I kind of felt I was talking to a void. Or rather th

I don't even feel angry at him anymore. I don't think he is lazy actually for what it's worth although I do think he is very self limiting and has no regard for a relationship in his life (me).

I'm back to eating some cooked. I don't feel so great, obviously. I am smoking too. I don't know what the answer is for me right now; I found the strength to move on in my life with the greater clarity it eating raw gave me but I have some serious personal upheaval to deal with. Numbing myself as I have done through cigarettes and I guess comfort eating (toasted cheese sandwiches) bef

So I have posted a general query to the main forum to challenge my concept of 80% raw ! Seems I don't, erm, really know what I am talking about...
Continuing to try hard though, despite evidence on certain foods to the contrary.

Wow.... Long way to go then.
Ok, I could be discouraged at this point. Or I could say 7 weeks ago I was eating cooked food all the time except for breakfast ( banana and spinach smoothies ) including meat daily and the occasional bit of fruit, maybe an apple daily. The change for me has been immense cutting out cooked foods such as rice, bread, sausages, ham,you name it, although I didn't eat

Calories sounds the best way to count it. I hadn't considered what to measure the percentages in, which may account for my confusion.
I will make a list of all I eat in a week and see what we've got at the end of it, thanks for your help, starting today.
The foods I mentioned? raw or not raw?
thank you !!

Once I am home in the uk and earning I will be able to afford a dehydrater, organic food and a spiraliser! I will grow a little vegetable patch and be able to source foods more easily such as kale and nut oil. I will be a better mum too. I will have the strength to kick smoking again and caffeine for the first time ever - just water! put my boys on a super mainly raw healthy diet. No

Hi guys - maintained a 80% raw diet when I was back in the uk. It was pretty difficult. Mum took the family all out for a pub lunch and there was no salad on the menu! I ended up having scallops and salmon for main course. We also went for a meal out and unbeknown to me until I got there, it was a carvery. I know that she would have been upset had I insisted I had lots of cooked veg a

Month 1 Summary;
Didn't post for 8 days because I didn't think I could do it! The inital withdrawal was milder but more prolonged than giving up smoking. Fatigue, buzzy skin crawly sensations and sleeplessness with vivid dreams. These faded after day 14 or so. At the same time I was experiencing immediate benefits. Clearer skin, brighter eyes, no aches and pains when I got up in the morning an

The way I have done it for the past month, as a newbie also, and been pretty successful so far,I like to think, is never limit your fruit and veg intake and carry snacks around at all times, seeds and dried fruits, so you are stronger to resist cravings. Don't focus on the body and how you feel you look, focus on growing energy and goals you can achieve in your life now you have greater energy le
