I have noticed a number of different things:
- mood, energy, tolerance, endurance, hydration, sleep, digestion - all improved while eating raw veggies/fruits at least 50% of my consumption
- when starting on raw, after seeming constipation, my body flushed itself, then became regular (like it decided everything it'd eaten prior wasn't useful)
- when stopping raw, feel heavy, no energy, unfocused, dehydrated-like
- when not eating raw food, I almost always feel like I have to eat again and again, not because I'm hungry, but because my mind seems to think it'll make me feel better (like what I've eaten can't be used)
- headaches
- can't seem to sleep enough
- ruins my cardio - whatever training level I've accomplished, it's like I'm back at day 1
- really moody - to the point of almost looking for reasons to be moody, or taking something out of proportion
- similar to alcohol withdrawal, or sugar, or any kind of substance withdrawal
Now there are substances that are very beneficial: properties of green tea help coping, improve metabolism, and is overall a good way to ween off of drinking black teas and coffee, or your caffeine of choice.
The only way to know is to try: do 3-10 days of testing, like previously mentioned... you can take something bad for you once and it may take 3 days to get it out of you, but you have to take good things at least 3 days in a row to begin to feel the difference... if not longer depending on what other factors are in play.
