Hi, I'm new to raw food. I recently read Natalia Rose's book The Raw Food Detox Diet and I was totally inspired to go raw (atleast mostly) I am currently a vegan so I figured it wouldn't be too difficult.
Well, this past week I have been eating predominantly raw fruits and veggies. I am doing well through breakfast and lunch. Right after lunch though, I start getting ridiculous cravings for sweets. Then somehow I reach for roasted almonds and I go overboard. THEN I feel extremely bloated for hours...
What worries me is that I don't feel like I am properly digesting my food, nor am I having enough bowel movements.
Ok, so now its turning into a "gross" topic, but hopefully you guys can be mature about it.
I feel constipated, and I can't explain WHY. I'm eating the healthiest I've ever eaten. Ever.
If anyone knows anything that I might be overlooking, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
