Overeating when you first start out is very common. This is because your body is addicted to the FULL feeling. Cooked food takes a long time to digest: the stomach rarely gets a rest and is therefore used to being atleast semi-ful by the time it gets re-filled. When eating only raw foods, you will naturally digest them quickly (aka normally) and will feel this strange new emptiness that is not a weak hunger for nutrients, but rather a stretched out stomach which is feeling ... different. thus, you want to eat again, re-fill, re-fill, re-fill... Soon this emptiness and flatness will be what you look forward to. It is then that your body will really know when it needs food and not just a fill-up.
I would say this, along with picking at the acne that developed in the detox were my biggest hurdles
