hi,

I'm new to the list, and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice
from their own experience.  A few years ago I ate mostly raw food, and
never felt better.  Since then, after travelling etc, I've slipped back
into mainstream eating, except that I don't feel good at all, I feel tired,
drained and moody.  I'm trying to get back into the raw thing again, but
it's not so easy this time - there's a part of me which is almost afraid of
giving up the junk, and of feeling energetic and clear-headed again.  Why
is this?  The hardest thing is doing without carbohydrates, which I read
somewhere is something your body craves when it needs a seratonin hit.  Can
anyone recommend ways of avoiding carbo cravings, or suggest a raw food
which placates them?  I've tried essene bread, anything else?

very many thanks,
fiona
