How long can a transition phase last? If anybody knows?  I have been 90%
raw for about 3 months now and I'm beginning to think I will always feel
weak and tired. Plus, I used to get 1 or 2 pimples, usually on my chin,
at that time of the month when I was 100% cooked. Since being on the raw
diet I didn't break out in any. Then all of a sudden this month I got 4
or 5, including one on my cheek, 3 above my upper lip, and my forehead
is not smooth.
