• Halfway there! I am on to Day 6. Still so far so good. I think what is affecting me the most the last couple of days is the disrupted sleep since the senna tea really takes effect at about 4:30 – 5am so I have to get up to use the restroom. I go ahe…

• So Day 5 is going great so far. Work is busy so that helps. My energy level is back to normal, and I think PMS was to blame for my low day yesterday. Now I just have cramps that can’t be soothed with salt water and I can’t take Advil for! Oh well. B…

• Middle of day 4 and my energy is still low. I have been putting a little bit extra maple syrup in my drinks to hopefully give me an energy boost. The worst thing was that I went home for “lunch” and had my drink and when I came back to work one of m…

• So Day 3 is coming to an end and it went just fine. I just got back from a long brisk walk with my girlfriend and her son. I was feeding him an avocado and I just wanted to lick it!! But I didn’t. And now I am sitting here on the computer while my b…

• sgmom2 – I think I may be having an easier time with the cleanse/detox since I am going from being vegan and mostly raw, and I juice fasted for 2 days before starting the MC. When I first went raw back in August I detoxed REALLY bad, so I am hoping …

• I am on day 3 of the cleanse and doing fine. Day 2 was pretty uneventful. So far the hardest thing is the stomach cramps from the senna tea, but as soon as I drink the salt water, the cramping subsides. When coming off the cleanse it is recommended …

• So day one of MC has been great so far!! I juice fasted for a couple of days first so I think that helped a lot with food cravings, since I haven’t really had many today. I even sat with my bf while he ate lunch and I drank the lemonade (which I thi…

• OK. So I am basically on juice fast day 2, I haven’t even started the MC yet, and I am already having the major cooked food cravings. I am craving a grilled cheese sandwich of all things, specifically the super greasy kind from Mel’s Diner. Go ahead…

• So here’s a funny story: So yesterday morning I had a green smoothie for breakfast and then juices during the day. I was going to have a raw soup for dinner, and since my dehydrator trays are too shallow for a bowl of soup, I warmed up the oven, tur…

• I heard that you are allowed to drink mint tea while on the MC… that might help with the bad breath! I am looking forward to all of these delightful symptoms you are all talking about… (yikes! what am I getting myself into!) haha

• I first went raw in August and had a huge detox from it then. Over the holidays I started added some cooked vegan foods back into my diet, but am still mostly eating raw. Especially after coming back from a cruise last weekend, it has felt so good t…

• Generally I have found that restaurants are very accommodating – at least in California! Just this last weekend, I had ordered the organic field green salad for lunch. The waiter was surprised when I said that was all I wanted so I explained that I …

• A couple of days ago, I felt kind of nauseous in the morning after drinking my big glass of water. I didn’t really feel like having citrus or any acidic fruit on an empty nauseous stomach. I was actually craving a piece of toast! Instead I ate a ban…

• I am vegan, but many family members and friends are meat eaters. Sometimes I feel like I end up “lecturing” when I am just trying to share info, esp. to my parents. My SAD eating bf has been much more open and eats vegan and raw with me often. When …

• I don’t know if they are Roxanne’s but the raw-e-os are really good. Also, Lydia’s organics has a sprouted raw bread that is really good that I think they also sell at Whole Foods.

• When I detoxed I got flu-like symptoms really bad…. I’ve never been that sick in my life. It happened exactly one week after starting raw, and only lasted about 3 days. Detox day 1, I couldn’t keep anything in me. Detox day 2, I was able to eat a ba…

• I have heard that it takes just as long to completely re-hydrate food as it does to dehdyrate it. Since tomatoes have such a high water content, they probably take a longer time to dehydrate and why they are so tough. Once, I put sun dried tomatoes …
