Dense raw carbs

Hi,

I'm a newbie to a raw vegan diet but only just started four days ago, having previously been an omnivore. I tried keto in a previous attempt to lose weight but felt terrible – not the keto flu, but had weird mental feelings that I called the "horrors". This stopped when I upped my carbs. I've started to get the horrors again on the raw vegan diet and this stopped when I added cooked sweet potatoes. My question is what dense carbs can I eat that aren't cooked? Or should I just carry on with the cooked addition until I've got used to being raw?

Thanks,

Lilib

    I went heavy on the nuts and avocado in the beginning. It helped a lot. Are you getting enough calories overall?

    Hi Claire,

    Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I was wondering about upping the nuts and avocado because I don't think I've been eating enough calories as I'm hungry all the time. I will give this a go.

    Thanks again,

    Lili

     Even Dr Cousens says don't just quickly switch over. In one of his many videos I think the one with the latest seminar Truth about Health. I track my nutrients in Chronometer and also add protein powder and legumes which is approved by him also. No reason to quickly quit the sweet potato until you're in the groove.
