Very new and being forced into a raw diet.

For real - LOL! I tried to "just incorporate more" raw foods into my current processed diet and apparently my body liked it too much. Everytime I try eat bread or something cooked I get a stomach ache and feel dizzy now. I think my stomach is trying to make me go 100%.
I need some help.
Is this normal?

I feel like I can't get enough to eat on just the raw diet right now. Any advice from those who have been doing this for a while would be appreciated. I've got to be doing something wrong. At first I felt very good. Now I feel sluggish and have a tummy ache.

Just keep eating until satisfied. If you experiencing stomach problems, look at what you are eating and the combinations. Are you eating dehydated food, too many nuts & fats, or fats with fruits/sugars?

It is hard to determine since you didn't post anything about what you are eating or doing.

I don't know what the dizzyiness could be - adjustments and detox are common and all kinds of symptoms can come up for you.

As far as your body rejecting cooked food, hallelujah!

Thanks for your response.
Typically I eat fruits for breakfast, veggies for my lunch and raw nuts or dehydrated fruits for any snacks inbetween. I try to include some fat in at least my lunch meal (avacado, olive oil or raw nuts) since I'm most hungry at that time of day. My lunch is also pretty heavy on the spinach or broccoli simply because those are my favorite foods. I eat much more whole fruits and veggies than juiced or blended (just because it's easier for work).
I still usually eat a cooked dinner with a side of raw veggies, side salad.
I think my dinner is messing with my stomach though. I'm confused about what I should be eating to help my stomach and help the lightheaded feeling go away.
Thanks again.
