lol, I've been 90-100% raw for the past 2 years so I know shtuff.

But then again, I was also vegan for about 4 yrs before that.

can you tell me more about yourself?  age? sex? height? weight?  average daily diet?

funny that you say you are an O too.  We are prone to adrenal fatigue and raw foods are not recommended for adrenal fatigue.

26 yrs old. Male, 5 feet 9 inches. Weight is about 156. Adrenal fatigue if you abuse caffeine, which I have. Also copper toxicity has a part to play in that.

Av. daily diet is 1-2 lbs of leafy greens, nuts and seeds for protein, flax and chia seeds twice a day. some berries with my greens. Also, I have kelp everyday, I just chew big pieces of it. I also like dulse and wakame.

I will be adding sprouts once I get the materials ready.

And really the adrenal fatigue goes away when I stop drinking yerba mate for like a week.

Zinc foods, seaweed, greens, algaes nuts and seeds are good for the caffeine detox.

I developed adrenal fatigue after being raw, caffeine may have been the culprit (large amounts of raw cacao), but I think stress and too much sugar did it too (agave and fruit).  I can barely eat fruit anymore, I just don't like it very much at all.  veggies and greens are cool but I like cooked stuff too.  For me, it seems like a lot of work to eat raw.  Sure, you can eat salads and nuts but these are very cold foods.  how can one maintain a balance of cold and warm foods eating raw?  too many "cold" foods will shout down the spleen.  cold/warm foods is a reference to chinese and ayurvedic diets (just in case you didn't know, but I'm sure you did:)

Original Message I have had the worse body aches/headaches/fatigue of my life. Every single injury I've ever had is bothering me now. I'm eating a wide variety of raw foods as well...but I don't think I can keep this up. Any advice? BTW, I lost 7.5lbs in 4 days.
