I'd be careful about doing that kind of fast /detox. It can be very dangerous and should ONLY be done with professional supervision. I don't mean a doctor, but someone who is really familiar with it, knows what should happen, what are some danger signs.


I transitioned to raw as well, starting first by transitioning to a vegan diet, meanwhile adding some kind of raw salad or soup to each meal. I also started changing my snacks - instead of a stick of cheese, I'd have sprouted nuts. I also found raw food bars I like, and keep them on hand in a pinch (whole fresh foods are always best, but when you're hungry, it's better than a lot of the other options out there).

Then I started with one raw meal a week, trying new recipes. Eventually I had a bunch of recipes I liked, and then just naturally wanted to do more and more raw.

I still keep my raw meals simple - a green smoothie for breakfast, a large raw salad for lunch, and then a raw entree (like raw-violi, raw chili, etc.) with a side salad for dinner. For snacks I have sprouted nuts or seeds, or home-made flax crackers.

I also really advocate superfoods. I couldn't have gone raw, couldn't STAY raw, without them. I found out that I was missing a lot of micro and macro nutrients even though I was eating a whole food, organic vegan diet (mostly from the garden or farmer's market). Those superfoods help give me what I'm missing.

Being hypoglycemic, it helps keep my nutrition balanced, and, eventually, I should be able to heal the hypoglycemia (though I will probably always take superfoods from time to time).

The ones I use are Pure Synergy, maca, raw cacao, and goji berries. I also supplement with Hemp powder sometimes, as protien helps regulate the blood sugar & keep my hypoglycemia stable too.
