Axel, I've had very similar experiences as you. My suggestion? Trust your body (within reason of course....I wouldn't pig out on twinkies every day, but you know what I mean). Eat what makes you feel good and full of life. Your body truly knows best. Everything else is just "theory" and if that "theory" doesn't resonate with your body, then it's useless! I used to be extremely strict with my eating protocols and what I would eat, when, etc. But I was listening to my head and not my body and I felt crappy all the time. Now, I still try to stay within certain guidelines, but I'm much more in tune with my body and try to feed it what "it" wants, not what my head tells me I "should" eat. I mean, why did you start eating raw in the first place? Wasn't it to "feel" better and more full of life? If your eating isn't accomplishing that, then change it! AGAIN, trust your BODY! :-) Steve
