Second Day As A Raw Vegan & Raw Vegan Granola Recipe
Second day, so far so good. I felt really energized when I woke up this morning but my energy went downhill really fast during the afternoon. Cravings for cooked food have already started to kick in... I'm going to listen to my body as much as possible by using these guidelines:
- Cravings for a quick blood-sugar raiser, like cookies, candy, ice cream, or other sweets: There's two options: your body is withdrawing from processed sugar or your body is legitimately craving carbs because you've under-eaten, step up your game.
- Cravings for a “comfort food”: it's probably a psychologically-rooted craving.
- Cravings for something super salty, like chips, foods with soy sauce, or ketchup: your body might be crying out for some extra sodium.
- Cravings for something dense and rich, like cheese, butter, peanut butter, fast food: your body is probably desperate for calories.
- Cravings for a pure, unseasoned protein source, like chicken, eggs, or fish: you probably aren’t getting enough protein.
- Cravings for red meat—even if you haven’t eaten it in years: this is a classic iron craving.
- Cravings for dairy, bread, pasta, crackers, or other grain products: probably opioid peptide withdrawals.
