• There will be varying opinions, and those that disagree with this naturally, but the reason it slows detox down is becasue you are putting in less healthy food that your body has to deal with. So now the body has to spend some of that energy it was …

• I'm still new to 811 myself, but I can definitely answer one of your questions. The 811 diet is a diet for life, no changes at all needed later on down the road. I would think going straight from a SAD diet into a water fast would be too much. I wou…

• Best wishes on your raw journeys! I've had similar experiences. I have been "going raw" for about two years. I've tried maintaining high raw but have fallen back down to low raw twice for a few months each time basically. The reasons were similar to…
