One week on raw detox and problems?

I went on a one week raw food and vegetable ‘detox’ with the occasional fibre supplement. The whole week was miserable with a gnawing empty void like feeling in my stomach and it brought my naturally high and happy mood to a sinking low and into depression.

Anyone know why I had such a tough time? The week has ended and I have stopped taking fiber and am back on cooked foods, but the empty void like feeling in my stomach remains. And my appetite is virtually nonexistent. I REALLY don’t feel well.

You are in ketosis.
That will make you feel really good and high until the fat starts disappearing from your body.
The side effect of ketosis is COMPLETE lose of appetite.
The longer it goes on the more you will feel less hungry.
But your stomach is telling you IT is still hungry.
You would not feel very well at all by now.
Please go an eat something like pasta or toast/bread. Something with carbs in it. It’s the bodies perfered fuel so will stop the ketosis and eating it’s own fat and use the carbs for energy.
Doing this for a day will help you feel so much better and will stop the ketosis and bring back your appetite.
Well if food is part of you emotionally, that could be it. You should be feeling great right about now. Maybe next time you should ease into and out of the detox.
