New to Raw, worried about detox

Hello everyone, my name is Amanda. I have lead a toxic lifestyle. Been trying to quit smoking for years but I finally did for 2 weeks now, have quit before for 18 months. I have been eating mostly raw for a week, if I do eat non raw I eat vegan and it is just simple grains with lighly cooked veggies. I have been drinking fresh veggie juices every morning and also green smoothies for breakfast. Then big salads for lunch. Dinners are raw soups, sometimes some sprouted bread bread (which I know isnt raw) Im new to this so I am still getting my bearings. I work full time have a daughter and a hubbie and a tight budget but I am trying to make this work. Every morning I wake up very tired and with a sore throat. I know this is to be expected but I am scared it is just going to get worse, is there any way I can help alleviate these symptoms I have read about dry brushing and colonics but dont know how to do the colonics. Anything else I can do? One of the reasons I am not trying to go completely raw is to slow these symtoms down. Also I dont know if I am eating enough at times I feel satisfied then I feel completely empty??

    eat FRUIT UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU WILL NOT BE HUNGRY AGAIN.

    if you are hungry after a meal YOU DID NOT CONSUME ENOUGH CARBS.

  • I didn't see any nuts in your list of foods. They are full of protein and fats which people need to feel satisfied. Also, read the book "12 steps to Raw Foods, How to End Your Dependency on Cooked Food" by Victoria Boutenko. I have found a lot of inspiration and have had many of my questions answered by reading this book.

  • Thanks everyone!! I actually got Victorias book Green for Life and devoured most of it yesterday, very interesting.
