Day 3: This was a hard day. I had a horrible headache all day. I dealt with it but it wasn’t easy. I had a smoothie in morning. It had almond milk, banana, frozen blueberries, maca powder, bee pollen, kale, and stevia. By the time lunch rolled around, I was in pain. I knew there had to be more to this detox thing than bad breath. For lunch I had the rest of the guacomole from dinner the night before. I went to the gym and tried to run on the treadmill. This didn’t work out. I ended up walking for 2 miles. The thing is that it’s hard to know if this was because of the raw diet or because I hadn’t been to the gym in two weeks. I’m normally extremely good about exercising but the last 2 weeks were crazy for me. When I got home, I had almond milk and a banana. Dinner was also difficult because I went to my dad’s apartment. I ended up roasting chicken for him. It was weird not eating it but I was ok. I gave him raw zuccini with it and I had the same thing. I also ate a container of honeydew melon. By the time I got home, I was too tired to blog.

Day 4: Today has been better so far. I slept very deeply but getting up was really hard. There was a terrible storm last night. The thunder kept me up. Then I really slept. Once I was up, I was ok. I had the same smoothie as the one in day 3 but I had frozen rasberries instead of blueberries. I weighed myself. I lost 3 lbs! I’m thrilled. I no longer had a headache. Fast forward to late afternoon. I’m not feeling as good. I don’t have a headache but my throat is bothering me a bit. I have that “I’m getting sick feeling”. Lisa told me that I might get flu-like symptons. I just had another smoothie. The breakfast smoothie but with the blueberries and no banana. I’m not sure what I’m going to eat later. I have a couple of avocados left so I’ll probably end up making more guacomole. I’m not feeling perfect but I can say that I don’t feel at all hungry or deprived. These symptons could be a lot worse. I felt horrible when I started drinking smoothies a couple of months ago. Apparently, kale is hard to digest when you’re not used to it. My guess is that since I’ve been eating this kind of thing for a couple of months, I’m not getting many of the other symptons that people get (involving the bathroom). I don’t think that it would be a good idea for someone to go straight to raw unless they already have a lot of fruit and vegetables in their diet. This is definitely something the average person should ease into. Until tomorrow…
