I feel like CRAP!

I'm not sure if i've picked up a bug from work, or if I'm detoxing or what...

The last month or so I've been dizzy every time i stand up, and sometimes off balance when i walk... kinda freaky!

But the last couple days after switching to 811, I feel like dirt. Dizzy, headache, no energy, blah...

So I thought it might be some detoxing, so i had an avocado today on its own with a small sprinkling of pink sea salt. I felt a little better, but not really.

Lately I've been craving kidney beans like mad, and wondered if I was lacking protein... I know I'm not lacking protein, but decided to eat some anyhow. I know they arent raw, and that messes up my whole raw since dec thing, but i wasnt too concerned... after all, i had some pasturized juice yesterday that someone gave me when I almost fainted.

I'm not planning on making a habit of non-raw stuff, but lately I've been wondering if perhaps i've been too limited. I dont think all raw foods are healthy. I stay away from the gourmet raw stuff... high nuts, high fat, high oils, that sort of thing... so I dont think beans are all that bad. I wont ever go back to cooked processed foods.... I really love the Renegade Health show. They are high raw but still eat things like beans or rice, nothing processed. That resonates with me. I dont think raw works because of the Raw foods, but it works rather because of what you arent eating. NO sugar, wheat, msg, processed foods, meat, dairy, etc...

I feel remarkably better after eating the beans...


ETA....ooo! i forgot, I've also been eating chlorella tablets because I had heard how great they are for detoxing... I wonder if that's also a part of why I feel like crap. I think I was duped.

HELLO!!!

Hi out there in blogger land :)

I thought that I'd start a new blog to chronicle my raw adventures. Since last Dec, I've been almost 100% raw vegan. I've been vegan for almost 4 years now, and I was raw a while back. It felt amazing, but life just got in the way.

Anywhoooo, this time around, I dont feel as great. I think it's because eating 'gourmet' raw isnt exactly healthy. It's way too high in fat and salt and isnt the way one would eat if we were natural.

Sooo, I'm going to give the 801010 lifestyle another go. Right now giving up fats and salt is killing me, but I know it will only suck for a few days, after that, it's smooth sailing!

Hopefully I actually have stuff to talk about, wish me luck!
