My body won't accept cooked food anymore

Today has been day 5 since I've allowed cooked vegan foods back into my diet after 150 days raw. Each cooked meal (dinner only) has slowly affected me worse and worse. Each time I would feel a little more discomfort and malaise after the meal.

Tonight was finally the kicker. After a meal of rice, beans, jalapenos and tomatoes with hot sauce (which was DELICIOUS) I threw up in the yard of the restaurant in front of my friends. Wow. Felt fine eating the meal but as soon as I was done my stomach didn't feel good. I excused myself to go walk it off and get some fresh air and ended up just barfing all of it up.

So I guess this means I'm going back to 100% raw. I don't really have a choice. This body of mine is no longer accepting cooked foods. It made that abundantly clear tonight. I really thought I could squeak by for a while on 80% raw... no dice.

I feel like this lifestyle is a one-way street. You go far enough down the path, there is no return. Part of me is upset that I'm going to have to do this lifestyle out of necessity instead of choice, but if that's what's happening, I choose to surrender to it.

4th of July 2012, the point of no return.

Comment by David Costa on July 10, 2012 at 1:44pm: Ehhhhhhhhh better intact structures in the raw food anyway

Comment by Greenmama on July 10, 2012 at 1:37pm: You know, sometimes you've just gotta experiment for yourself so you can feel totally in choice!

Comment by Anna Louise on July 6, 2012 at 10:04am: Feel ya. Same thing happened to me after plain rice or potatoes. Had to lie on the floor for hours, no kidding.

Comment by Jera on July 6, 2012 at 4:23am: I can't handle beans or spicy stuff or salt, but cooked starches plain might go down alright for you?

Comment by 40andFitOnFruit - Jessica on July 6, 2012 at 4:12am: I agree to what you say that this is kind of a one-way street. The future might be different but it's hard to give your body something it will love more than this lifestyle I guess. =)

You are not alone on this trip =)
