Congrats,
eating raw is challenging, and you have to be strong mainly becuase we are bombarded by food options even healthy ones that have cooked or proteins. I eat a mostly raw diet and then when I do have cooked I try to make it very high quality, local, organic, thoughtfully made. It’s expensive but so worth it. One of the hardest things after the social aspect is eating enough calories, I tend to under eat and that is a trap, other than nuts and seeds and oils, most raw plant based food is very low in calories, good luck! Glad you are blogging about it.

Wow. 24 days is pretty impressive. That may be my next venture… I do a have a breville that needs a good workout.

Thanks for the well wishes! When I’ve gone on raw food for only a few days, I can literally smell caffeine in drinks, and most of the green teas I’ve tried tend to have caffeine in them.

Thanks for sharing part of your journey. Try Teechino for your coffee cravings. It is a herbal coffee substitute. I used it to break my caffeine addiction but broke down and went back to coffee after I ran out. Make sure you drink plenty. Is it wrong to get your caffeine from green tea? Green tea has also helped me cut down on my coffee addiction. Good luck on your raw food fast. I am working toward eating more raw foods as well. 🙂

Congrats on your decision. Tried it once and need to get back on raw.

I know what you are going through with the coffee withdrawal. Been there too and swore I’d never go back on coffee.

I did find on one of my withdrawals that I was drinking a lot of green tea and never had the headaches that one time I did withdrawal. That may help if you are willing to go that route. I know there is some caffeine in green tea, but not nearly as much and maybe helpful in getting you over the hump.

Just a thought.

Wishing you the best.
