I have been off and on trying the raw diet and I am back on again after coming down with mono (I had it a year ago as well) and struggling with chronic fatigue. I can’t blame all my problems on food- I do have a crazy life being the mother of 4 under the age of 6 and running a full time business….so my life is constantly going 100mph. But, I am so frustrated at why I can’t seem to stay healthy. I have been eating organic “healthy” foods for three years now….processed foods only on a rare occasion…what I eat has been important for quite some time, but now I really need to see if I need to revamp it some more to really get my body to heal and have more energy.
I am just so frustrated in trying to find a balance with my diet now…how do you know how much of certain things you should eat? I really need to loose about 20 pounds of baby weight that just aren’t coming off (my baby is now 9 weeks old and I’ve only lost about 5 pounds! :( ) How do you know how much protein or fats you should be getting and from what source? There are so many options in getting your protein, but how do you know if you are doing too much of something (such as nuts & fruits) or need to increase something else (like greens).
I’d love to hear ya’lls thoughts on this!!!

Thank you so much for your responses!!! I have just been so nervous about chowing on too much of one thing!
So do you all feel that it is the most important to get greens- like really making it a conscious effort to include it? Or is it something that is all intuition? Because I feel like I prefer fruits and nuts but struggle to want any form of greens right now….
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer everyone! I REALLY appreicate it and feel a lot less worried about balancing everything.
