How to clean fat out of the system ?

I ate too much fat yesterday. I normally never go over 6% but I had cooked vegan food last night (which I'm sure had a lot of oil) and today I feel awful. Is there anyway to quickly clear it out?

Thyme and water.

Just kidding, I meant time and water. No easy way out of the fat hangover.

It's like the college students asking for a quick way to get rid of an alcohol hangover. The only way is rest, time, water, etc. If there were an easier way then there would be no lesson to be learned XD

citrus is a good anti mucus, and if you put in that fat last night your body probably formed plenty of mucus along your digestive tract making it hard to absorb anything, i always do high citrus after fatty foods, an yes of course water

Oh after eating the fattier cooked food I did have a few oranges last night. Was it bad to mix that with sugar? And I have been craving oranges and grapefruit all morning. Weird, maybe my body is trying to tell me something!

I just filled in cronometer from yesterday and at the most I was probably at 13% fat. Is it normal to feel this bad going so little over 10%? (again, I'm normally at 6% or so). I did have cooked food two nights in a row which is very rare. Is it just the cooked food itself? I felt fine yesterday. Blah.

It is both the cooked food and the fat. Some people do feel bad after eating 13% fat. Remember 10% is not gospel. Many people do not eat any overt fats at all (or very sparingly.)

But you probably wouldn't have felt quite as bad had it been 13% + raw rather than 13% + cooked.

You know, I learned a lot today. Cooked food with a higher fat content is worse than a hangover from alcohol. This morning I felt heavy, lethargic, depressed, mentally slow, and anxious. I still feel this way but it is slowly wearing off and I can't wait until it does. I haven't had these feelings since I went raw back in February. I wasn't even vegan before this and I only ate cooked vegan food yesterday yet it has the same effect that SAD food did on me. I also have not craved alcohol since February. When I woke up this morning feeling the way I did I started to crave alcohol and fatty foods.. anything to help me "feel better" even temporarily. How scary. I have truly realized how addicting cooked, fatty food is. I have had cooked plain white rice a few times and it has NEVER had this effect on me.

Wow. Huge eye opener. It's sad that the rest of the world is so blind to this. If only everyone would give this diet 60 days. It's a life changer. When I'm LFRV I'm happy, energetic, inwardly calm, free from addiction and truly grateful. If everyone felt this way what a different world this would be.

It will take about 48 hours to clear out naturally, however, if you are overt free today, you should steadily start feeling better.

I actually feel my best eating 955 aka overt fat free myself. If I eat a high fat meal, I try to do that at night because I know I will instantly feel tired.

Peace, PK

one time after i had gone on a bit of a cooked vegan food binge, which like you pointed out contains oil, i met up with a raw food expert in my area. i didnt tell him what i had eaten but he took one look at me and told me he could tell my liver and kidneys were suffering from too much fat in my blood. he advised that i flush it out with cucumber and water melon. after a day of cucumber-watermelon juice i felt right as rain.
