Ok, so I’ve been 90-100% raw for about 5 months. the first month was really good – i had energy and was excited about all of the new recipes I could try out. For the past 2 1/2 months though I just haven’t been feeling balanced and I’m sick of blaming everything on ‘detox’. I feel more tired, mentally slow, I have extreme gas and smelly stool, I’m sick of food, my hair is thinning, my memory is getting worse, I haven’t gotten my period for 5 months, the list could go on! Sorry to vent but these are all issues that i have seen on this forum but can’t find any satisfying answers for. I just don’t know what to do and am feeling really confused.

Not at all, please bring on the questions!
I haven’t been counting my calories but perhaps I should start…
Here’s my usual menu:
In the morning I eat a banana and avocado pudding and mix in a peach and whatever berries I have, raisins, almonds and pistachios.
snack – apple, walnuts, figs
Lunch is usually a big salad with tons of veggies and seed bread
Dinner varies but it’s usually a wrap of some sort – usually with collard leaves
Hi there! Im sorry about how your feeling! acoarding to Mat Monach’s book ‘Raw Success’ all the ‘symptoms’ youve just listed all suggest you need a COLONIC. so yeah, i would suggest you look that up! :) good luck!
Thanks everyone! Interesting that a lot of you told me to lay off the nuts and start drinking green smoothies! I was drinking green smoothies everyday up until a month ago and stopped because I was finding them really hard to digest. I now see that it was probably because I was drinking them with meals and breaking all sorts of food combining rules. I know it looks like I eat a lot of nuts but the portions are really small. Nonetheless, I have been combining them with fruits which i know is a no-no.
Anyone recommend a good book on food combining?
Oh, and to answer some of your questions beany – I’ve been vegan for three years, I eat mostly organic and I do soak nuts. thanks for sharing your experience, kundalalita.
I used to take it regularly and just recently started taking it again because I thought that may be the problem. Hopefully it will help.
Steve Meyerowitz wrote a good book called Food Combining and Digestion, you may want to check that out.
