Raw Benifits?

Hi :]
In January after doing lots of research I went raw and stayed raw for about ten days after caving into cravings.
A week later I went raw again and stayed raw for over two weeks.
I was 100% raw both times.
I’d like to go raw again, but both times I did go raw I didn’t feel any of the benifits everyone else talks about.
I definitley felt the detox, and I felt a bit healthier, but besides that I noticed no difference in my skin [ance…] my weight, or my mood…and I still had trouble sleeping and getting up from bed.
I might not have been eating correctly…this is an outline of what I would generally eat each day:
Strawberries, Blueberries, Raw Pecans, Bannanas, Green snapeas, Red peppers, Broccoli, Mushrooms, Nectarenes, Carrots…lots of water and Lara Bars.
Could this possibly an issue of what I was eating?
And if so, how should I balance out my diet / should I eat different foods each day- different from the day before?
Is there any other possible reason for this?

And another random question: I have been Vegan for over a year and a half now, and I just got blood test results back saying I have high cholesterol.
Could that be from salt alone?

Sorry for all the questions!
Thank you for all your help :]

  • Thank you everyone. :]
    kellygoneraw: Just wondering, what do you mean by ‘dates and nuts is totally forbidden in food combining circles’? Why is that?
    And is completely whole food that isn’t dehydrated is more raw than food that is?

    Also, if something has been ‘flash pasterized’ does that mean it’s not raw?
    Does it take out some of the nutrients?
