aw thankyou jen. I think I'm over the meat craving but havent had the best few days...

To celebrate 10 days i tried to eat some lettuce and tomato with a bit of soya but couldnt keep it down. Not too suprised. Then yesterday i was craving chocolate bad, so i got a little raw cacao and agave and mixed it together and it was delicious but an hour or so later felt like i was building up an insane sugar high. went for a long walk. it was so strange. got back and lay down as it kept getting worse and my heart rate was going crazy. tried to stand up but kept falling over, almost passing out. Was thinking about heading to the doctors if it didnt pass. 2 hours later it faded away but i felt so bad. couldnt even think about food or water.

i still cant eat. made a green juice a few hours ago but can ony manage a few sips and nothing more. water is horrible to me right now too. Getting very worried bacuse im now down to something like 52 kilos (175 cm)- i look sick. lost 3 in a day and a half, and i just cant eat or sleep or even manage the energy to walk to the shops to maybe get an avocado or something.

i might give it a few more hours and try a walk again,

Does anyone have ideas? I've tried to sleep it off but i just cant get there and nothing in my fridge looks appealing.

i have to work tomorrow and im scared that im going to get sick.

sorry if this sounds a bit vague.

babe,dont despair...keep having your green juice...dont force yourself to eat...you can juice fast for a very long time...once you detox,after shedding excess weight...your body will rebuild..

i am a similar height to you,and have been down to 51kgs...i looked thin but not sick...when you are first detoxing you dont always look super awesome and glowing with health,give it time,you will be radiant and enjoying your raw foods in no time...

raw bodies vary...some are thinner than other,some have more muscle,as we all have different physiologies and eat low fat,lots of fruit and greens,or higher fat with less fruit..that makes us looks different..thank god...cos itd be boring if we all looked the same huh!

Oh my poor banana... sleep is the best thing, and keeping your fluids up, if you feel you need to eat, try some sweet watermelon, is is so gentle and always helps when sick or detox. Pleaselook after yourself, and try to drink some green juice...hopefully this will pass soon, detox is not pretty, and is normal to feel like that...if you get really worried, just listen to your body...is anyone there with you?

ps. does anyone have any advice on cellulite on the legs? The rapid weight loss has made it so much more noticible.

Please someone say it is possible to get rid of it?? I thought it was getting better but now im not so sure.

icky subject, im sorry, I just hate it.

thanks rstar. sorry just had a panic moment - shouldnt get so stressed you're right. things will be different tomorrow

Uh-huh I have no intention of giving in just because a nutritionist i've never met has told my mum i don't know whats best for myself.
I can't imagine going back to cooked food. Essentially we all should know whats best for ourselves. It's just so difficult trying to explain that to people who have never experimented outside the typical meat and dairy diet.
Just went for a big run, and picked up a tonne of fruit for my juice tomorrow. Feeling a million times better Sorry about the little rant before.
The biggest problem now is trying the juice thing again (properly this time) and making the boyfriend deal with it.... honestly, maybe i'm feeling a bit more confident than i should, but he should deal with it. I don't tell him how to eat, its been tough, but it's his choice... and i respect that.
I'm at the stage where i think health and happiness should be placed high above anything else. I want to be happy - being as healthy as i can be will make me happy. Relationships come and go.

Zeus rough idea of my diet? It's changing so much! I know I'm not doing it right - bad food combining, too much sugar, not enough greens - it's just so new and i need to find a balance.

I'm going to try the juice feasting again as of tomorrow but do it right - mostly green juices, laying off acidic fruits.

I still have so much to learn, but I'll get there i hope

re cellulite....raw persistance/time and patience..detoxing...allowing your body sufficient time from midnight to midday to detox...for me,is best if i dont actually have anything til 12 lunch time,and then its green juice....gives body ample time for digestive rest and detoxing to happen...=shedding excess fat build up/cellulite....hard workout everyday,aerobic heart pounding and a good sweat if possible...even if its power walking babe,its going to help big time...water/juicy fruits,tender greens,non sweet fruits,low fat of course...and as much sleep and rest as you can...

not getting enough sleep....tests have been proven those who get little sleep can also have a tendency to hold fat!

it takes time,health can take longer that we want but its worth the wait and its fun enjoying the journey..
