Today was another down day, so apparently I’m still stuck in this yo-yo pattern. I did a typical weight training workout at the gym this morning, and it went fine. But after breakfast I felt listless and mentally foggy, and I couldn’t shake it for the entire day. I spent a lot of time playing…

Today was a marked improvement over all the other days of this trial. Shortly after breakfast I gently slid into that euphoric/blissful state and spent most of the day there. I still feel it now, although it’s not as pronounced as it was in the morning. I also got a lot of work done today.…

Today was a strange day. I’ll explain why in the meal section of this post, but I want to address a few other items first. My weight workout at the gym seemed more challenging than usual, but that’s probably because I progressed to heavier weights than I was using last week. I didn’t have any…

Today I had major cravings for heavier foods — cooked food, high-fat foods, just about anything. I wanted something more substantial than just fruit and veggies. It was harder than usual to stick to eating mostly fruit today. My 30-minute aerobic workout at the gym seemed considerably easier. When my pulse was 150 beats per…

Now that we’re into the second week of this trial and past the initial adjustment/detox period, I’ll be shortening these daily updates, sticking mostly with the basics and noting anything out of the ordinary. Today was a very normal day, much like what I experienced before this trial began. I didn’t have any unusual emotional…

Today was even better than yesterday. I woke up feeling pretty normal, but I felt better and better as the day progressed. This afternoon I enjoyed a deep feeling of euphoria for about 2-3 hours, the same feeling I remember from my first raw trial. I did get some good news today that certainly had…

Today was my best day of this trial so far. I woke up this morning feeling absolutely fantastic and very energetic, even better than I normally felt before going raw. I felt very happy too, like I was experiencing a flood of endorphins. It was similar to runner’s high. This positive feeling lasted until about…

I went to bed at 10:30pm last night and woke up at 4am. I had such bad breath that I felt compelled to brush my teeth right away. I went back to bed and tried to fall back asleep again but couldn’t, so I finally got up at 4:57. I still had a mild headache,…

Today’s highlight was doing a phone consultation with raw food coach Roger Haeske. I booked this consulting appointment with him before starting this raw trial. It was a great call, and I got some helpful tips on how to improve the way I’m eating, especially how to prepare simpler meals that require less prep time.…

Last night Here’s a little more info about the end of Day 2 after I posted that update. Usually I go to bed around 10pm, but I just wasn’t tired at that time, so I stayed up until 11:00. While cleaning up the kitchen before going to bed, I felt a surge of intense anger.…
