Jumping from Smoothies to Solids

[Kimberly RT(T)]

We decided as a couple to eat food today.  Green smoothies are wonderful but both of us have been seriously lacking in energy.  My hubby is not a raw foodist although he did smoothies with me for 5 days to see what it was like.  He lost 13 lbs and felt better.  He kept saying he could never go raw but I kept telling him that he was raw for the past 5 days. 

We had a healthy vegan lunch and dinner.  I got pretty sick.  My digestive tract was hating me tonight.  The food was vegan and healthy but it was cooked.  I should have eased back into eating solid raw food but I wanted to eat everything under the sun.  Once I started eating, I felt out of control.  I was out of control.  I am paying dearly right now.  Hopefully this ends by morning.  I have to work all day tomorrow.

oh kimberly im sorry!  i been there so many times...i notice also me when i was eating raw i could control my appetite better..but when the cooked foods came in the need to get out the shovel was stronger...i am so amazed how eating cooked changes everything! and it seems to go from raw is best, cooked veggie second, cooked starches grains ect worst...
