Good for you Newbie!
I was just telling my husband today that when I first went vegetarian I made myself really sick by eating icecream every day. duh!
My advice is to have a great time with it. Live foods taste great and get better tasting over time when you tongue and taste buds heal and get more sensitive. It's a blast to discover all the new foods available. My diet is so much more varied than the common American diet. Today I bought a fruit called the Monstera that I can't wait to try and yesterday I had a Dragon fruit that was heaven. I had a mango the other day that was ecstacy. I had no-cheese cheescake for lunch today. yum.
My advice is that at first just cut out the junk before a complete switch or switch the junk over to raw food treats to keep the detox down. A couple of weeks of just cleaner will make the transition much easier. Also, when switching, it's real important to soaks seeds and eat sprouts because usually even vegan diets are real high in protein and you need to let your body adapt and start to produce it's own and get clean enough to get all the nutrients out of the food you will be eating. Raw has everything you need, as long as your digestive system is strong enough and healed enough to extract it.
Take your time, do what your body likes and enjoy!
