Gone Raw 12.3.10

Started raw food diet on 12.3.2010.
Lost 5 pounds in the first week and 4 in the second. This is fantastic considering that I was diagnosed with low thyroid a few years ago.  Losing weight is very hard for me.
Ok, this 3rd week I gained a couple, too much cooked food and stress with company and babysitting my friends insane dog! 
So far I am experiencing some detox, the first week it was just a runny nose.  The second week, I had bad gastro intestinal issues, including intermittent constipation and diarreah.  Things seem much better this week.
There is a lot of hit and miss experimenting getting the green smoothies to taste good, but I've managed to create a perfect raw hot chocolate recipe which I am enjoying so much.  And find that using bananas almost always makes a green smoothie taste good.
