How did it go? How did I feel?
The first two days I felt hungry and light. When I eat raw foods (raw fruits and vegetables mostly) I tend to feel light and satiated throughout the day. Its a wonderful feeling; everything you eat makes you feel energized and non-groggy. You know that feeling when you want to sleep after you eat a big bowl of oatmeal, or a sandwich? Well with this detox, you don't have that. I felt really great for about five days, then I started to eat too much dried fruit and not enough vegetables. Gotta work on that balance. Well, this week was definitely fun and I would recommend this detox to anyone looking to get back on track to their diet regamine or interested in a raw food lifestyle!
