Some Guidance
Aug 28 2006, 1:02 PM EDT Ok. I am going raw as of today, so we'll say about 13 hours now, since I know I definitely didn't eat after midnight. Here's my plan- I want to get my eczema to clear up. I haven't been going to the chiro recently, and I starting sneaking wheat (pizza/pasta) which I am not supposed to be eating). My eczema has flared up from dietary indiscretions. We have a wedding coming up in 4 weeks, and I am hoping my eczema will clear up by then after 4 weeks of raw. I have been veg for 2 years (with several periods of veganism) until this this summer when it was discovered i was sensitive to wheat (and corn). So, recently I have been eating more dairy and also been eating fish because I have some Italian heritage and have been feeling sort of devastated about not being able to eat pasta. What can I expect in terms of withdrawal symptoms? right now, I am hungry but have been trying to eat my "breakfast" for hours (it is hard to eat raw because you actually have to chew everything :) I experienced withdrawal when I gave up meat 2 years ago, and the withdrawal primarily consisted of feverish feelings and visions of eating a grilled chicken sandwhich, the feverish symptoms lasted months, though. I'm a little scared of how sick I might feel from going raw, but I am committed to doing this for the next four weeks at least (at the wedding, we will have to eat(or pretend to eat chicken) it was either that or cow, so i went with the lesser of 2 evils) Any comments/vote of confidence is appreciated. I am going to be tough about this, and dh is doing it too, so I think I will make it at least the 4 weeks. 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |
