hi guys, i just started the raw vegan diet 5 days ago and up until a few hours ago i felt amazing, but now my body aches (legs , and upper back especially), my energy boost is gone, i have a headache, and i can't think clearly. I do not want to give up and have heard that withdrawal is to be expected while detoxing.
but i'm not sure if i'm experiencing withdrawal/detox symptoms or if maybe it was something i ate for diner that is causing me to feel this way. I started feeling this way right after i had a big diner, i think some of the ingredients may have been contaminated but i'm not sure.
The avocado had a brown area in the center (i'm not talking about the core obviously)
The Romaine lettuce had a brownish stain/growth in the center
and the bell peppers had a funny taste to them, almost chemical... i know they weren't organic but i did wash them
Do you guys think i'm experiencing withdrawal from detox or is it i just ate veggies that are going bad? normally i wouldn't have eaten these vegies if i thought there was something wrong with them but i'm trying to save as much money on this diet as i can, and convinced myself that they were fine, but now i'm not so sure...
What do you guys think?

well i feel much better now. i'm pretty sure i was experiencing withdrawal from detox and it was pretty intense for a while but i think it's over for now. im sure there are more toxins that need to get flushed and now i have a general idea of what to expect.
i'm eating lots of fruit and drinking lots of smoothies and the headaches and muscle aches are gone.
