I know I’ve already talked about it a bit, but I feel the need to reflect on my raw eating experience a bit more. Just to ‘flesh it out’ in my mind, if nothing else.
The first thing I noticed about switching to all raw was how easy it was. I was more excited about eating cashews again than I was worried about getting bored or sick of the food. It wasn’t until dinner time on day three that I got a little bit antsy about wanting something cooked, but that lasted all of five minutes.
I also felt… I felt good about what I was doing in a way that I haven’t felt when doing other plans, fasts, etc. I have been lurking at a raw eating Australia forum for a while, and even after reading a thread about all these people who gained weight going raw, I still felt good.
Just knowing I was giving my body a lot of good nutrition in its purest forms made me feel good. Sure, I was a bit disappointed at the prospect of not being able to lose weight eating this way, but it paled a little in the light of knowing I was eating naturally. And that, my friends, is a great motivator.
An unexpected benefit (unexpected because it hasn’t helped in the past), are the good things I am still experiencing in regards to my digestion. I’m hardly regular, but things have been going well compared to the usual. I’m very happy about that.
My detox effects weren’t bad. Pretty much just a headache that got really nasty on day three. My husband had worse, but he thinks it has more to do with wanting to go on a purely veggie fast instead of fruit and vege.
Perhaps sharing my banana smoothies wasn’t the greatest idea. 
All in all, I still found it to be an amazing experience, even for four days. I highly recommend everyone try it, just to see how it influences all areas of health – including mental.
