Sorry to be boring. I'm just recording today's intake so I can keep track.
7am: half cup celery/spinach drink
9am 3 dates with raw coconut, a pear
11am small green salad with 1/2 avocado, red peppers, spinach, sunflower sprouts
1pm 1/2 cup organic fruit blended into smoothie: rasberries, strawberries, blueberries
3pm 2nd small green salad as above with half an avocado, 2 pieces dehydrated apple
5pm handful raw organic baby carrots
7pm whole cup of blended fruit smoothie: as above, one tsp honey
lots and lots of water throughout the day
Still not hungry in the least, but man the cravings are killing me. Today I was so angry I actually threw my phone and broke it. (I was alone - no worries.) Lots of anger surfacing. Feel like I'm sitting on a ball of rage the size of the sun. What could it be from? No idea. I'm going to try journaling now before bed.
For those interested, here is how I dealt with the extreme cravings:
~took a long walk with the dogs - didn't help, but at least I was moving.
~ cleaned the entire kitchen and livingroom- helped a tiny bit.
~ called a friend who's 'been there' - helped for an hour or so.
~ Did tapping (EFT) for 4 cycles, three times today. Helped ALOT.
I still don't get how EFT works, but it does.
I really hope tomorrow is easier. Yesterday was amazing. I even had an experience of euphoria. I called and asked the nutritionist and she said that was normal on this diet. No euphoria today. Just mad cravings and really grumpy attitude.
But I did it. I have to keep reminding myself. I did it. I got thru another day 100 percent raw.
My body is thanking me even though my mind is pissed...lol.
Yes, you did it! I am also on a detox at the moment.... it must be this time of the year.... and yes the cravings and being irritable is completely normal! Keep up the fantastic work! x

ReplyDeleteYeah for you for doing it! Sorry to hear it's messing with your head, though.
ReplyDeleteIs stevia allowed on your diet? If so, it is a good natural sweetener (and my prefered one.) It is quite effective in helping to curb those carb cravings, too. My second choice for sweeteners is agave nectar. It tastes a lot like honey but has a much lower glycemic index. It's organic and can be found at health food stores...although I found some at Wally's Mart today (and it was quite a bit cheaper than the stuff at the health food specialty store.) Because of it's low glycemic index, it's generally considered diabetic friendly.
