Detox Question

[NewtoRaw]

Hello Everyone~
I am new to the Raw Diet and have to admit I'm transitioning to this very quickly given my past diet history and bad habits. I'm only on day 3 but hope to make this new lifestyle stick.

I've read TONS of books on the raw food lifestyle and I know I have detox to look forward to. My question is... how soon after you start eating an all raw food diet does detox hit you? I realize it can last days, weeks, or even months... but how long before it starts??
Thanks and wish me luck!

It took me, well about 3 days to start the struggle with the cooked food past but with in a month everything was stable besides a slip up once in a while, which could easily be corrected because you know how good you feel on raw.

I never thought I would go through detox since I've been vegan for most of my life, but I did. I recently became raw vegan in January and within a month I started detoxing for at least 3 weeks. I went through physical, emotional and spiritual changes.

Everybody is different, don't think about it - continue with what you are doing and just do your best. If you happen to "fall off the wagon", don't beat yourself up over it. The negative energy that comes from it is counterproductive.

Best of luck :-)

I've been raw since January and have never experienced the detox people talk about, although I did "detox" from caffeine- something I do everytime I wean myself from Pepsi! Not everyone experiences detox and those who do don't all experience it the same way.

Happy Raw!
