Be careful of the nuts labelled raw, most of them are not actually raw as others have mentioned. Macadamia nuts in particular are NEVER raw unless they are still in their shell and you crack them yourself. This is because it's nearly impossible to open them without steaming and for mass production cracking them by hand is not practical. There may be a few exceptions if buying from a raw specific resource, but even then I'd be weary and you're probably going to pay a higher price for them. The same is true of cashews. If you've never experienced a raw macadamia nut that you crack open yourself, i HIGHLY suggest it! They are delicious and sweeter and creamier than any pre-shelled macadamia. However, they are really difficult to open and pretty much require a special macadamia nut cracker to open (or a hammer although even that is harder than it sounds). I like to use these or other nuts that come in their shell, that way I am sure they are raw and it's not as easy to get carried away and eat too many which can often be the case with nuts.
You might also try pumpkin seeds instead of nuts if that sounds appealing to you. Sunflower seeds as well. I rarely eat nuts now for a variety of reasons and replaced them with pumpkin seeds if I want a crunchy protein fatty snacky food. You can eat many more pumpkin seeds than nuts and I find this to be more satisfying. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of amino acids, zinc, protein, and iron and pretty tasty too. The brand I buy is "go raw" sprouted pumpkin seeds that I find at whole foods. (

I don't think the increased sensitivity to smell is abnormal, did you not experience this on your previous raw trials? The bad smells can be terrible, but the good smells like fruit can be amazing! I hope you are smelling the good smells too!
