Thanks, I’m def. having detox symptoms then, I have been having mood swings twards my husband but am totaly energetic and feeling light and great. He thought this is what it was he has been taking the change light than I have because I want to hurry up and go 100% raw but I think I will start eating cooked grains or something.
I’m glad I saw your post, Mami. I was going to start a thread if I couldn’t find one on detox. I decided I would gradually go raw 4 days ago, but as always when I get excited about something—I always jump right in head first. I’ve been 90% raw for the last days. I Can NOT believe how quickly my body is starting to detox!!! I was going to ask when the average person starts to feel the detox. It’s only day 3, and the headache is horrible! My skin is usually flawless and it’s breaking out all over. It’s awesome! LOL! It’s like a good muscle burn after a good workout—my badge of accomplishment. ;o) How long does detox usually last? and again, When does it usually set in? Thanks everyone! I’m hoping to go 100% for the new year.
Munchie – it was day 3 for me too, I started eating cooked rice once a day and I find that eating 3 oranges helps for some reason with headaches.
I am glad I stumbled on this subject. In short, here is a catch up…
Healthy eater for about 6 years – not raw, not vegetarian
75% raw for 2 months
Master Cleanse 6 days
100% raw after – since Sunday
The day I went off the MC I noticed that I have a ton of bumps on my neck
I’m feeling a little better today. I drank an insane amount of water last night and I just had some freshly squeezed OJ- which is heaven, btw. I’m having problems sleeping. I feel like I could run a marathan 3 times over. I suppose I did that too, running back and forth to the bathroom so much from all the water, haha. Even though I haven’t gotten much sleep I feel surprisingly alert and energized. I think I might be eating my last meal too late in the day (6:30-7:00pm).
Madness, didn’t I read somewhere that with the exception of eggs and goat’s cheese you had a pretty healthy vegetarian diet? Maybe because you were already eating healthier you had much milder detox, or none at all?
detox – OMG. I had no real detox symptoms at first. I skipped headaches and tiredness. But now 7 months in I am having a few fascinating things happening – arm pit rashes exactly where that old antiperpirent used to go and spots in my lower armpit regoin. Very attractive. I found this link http://eatonessentials.com/news/skincare/01deod… . I also am getting craddle cap that babies have and several ingrown hairs and yucky things in the bikini line regoin, aparently this is the lymphatic system….. I’ve just put it together that I have also started skin brushing. You have all this to look forward too, I just lost the thread I was reading where someone as raw as me has been having weird bumps on their thighs and odd rashes too. AH well better out than in, good luck xx
Princess—that’s so weird! I stopped using my deo. the day after I started my transition a week or so ago, and yesterday my arm pits felt irritated. I asked my husband to look because, I couldn’t really see and I don’t usually get rashes, so, I was concerned. He said there was discoloration spots and a rash. Glad to know I’m not alone, but I’m only a week in my body must be workin’ overtime to get all this built up crap out of my system! Thanks for the post, so, I know I’m not alone, haha. I’ll definitely check out that link too. ;o)
