Raw Food Diet - 30 Day 'No Fat' Trial - Day 27

27 March 2009

Today is day 27 of my raw food diet trial and things went very badly today. I have been in a tremendous amount of pain from an endometriosis flare up.

I am pushing through this without any pain medication and it is really tough going. I don't want to add any more toxins to my body though.

After I went to bed last night the pain shifted up into high gear along with horrific nausea. At 3:40am I had an attack of vomiting all the way through to the dry heave stage. Thankfully that took care of the nausea but did nothing for the pain.

I have been in bed all day, hardly able to move. Very thirsty and hungry but not able to put much in my body at all. I can only sip water, any pressure on my stomach is enormously painful. I doubt I will be able to go to work tomorrow.

Obviously I am not cured of this yet. I am sure it was very wishful thinking to imagine that I could be cured so fast. Obviously it will take more than a 30 day raw food diet no fat trial to see some change.

I usually feel nauseous and I also get chills and cold sweats along with the pain which has always seemed to just be a side effect of the pain. From what I've been reading I am pretty sure I have endometrial adhesions on my intestines and bowel which leads to the nausea and vomiting.

Here is a picture of my stomach as it looks now. The swelling has gone down slightly. This is just standing normally, I am not pushing it out at all, and it is hard to the touch as well.

Weight

I still weigh the same: 121.4 pounds, in spite of the swelling. So that is 3.6 pounds lost over this raw food diet trial so far.

Raw Food Diet Trial: Food

I ate very little today. I had a smoothie for breakfast with 1x orange and 4x bananas. For lunch I had 2x oranges. For dinner I had a soup made with 2x oranges, 1x bell pepper (orange), 2x tomatoes and a handful of coriander. I struggled to even get it down.

Raw Food Diet Trial: Conclusions

My totals for today were as follows: Calories 803, Fat 3.2g, Carbohydrates 201.6g, Dietary Fiber 33.4g, Protein 14.6g, Sodium 21.8mg.

My percentage totals were: Carbohydrates 91%, Protein 6%, Fat 3%.
