Answer
What you are currently experiencing are what we call “detox reactions.” Your body is responding to the change in nutrition. Headache, cramps, low energy and diarrhea are all part of this – especially if you’re coming from a Standard American Diet (SAD).
These symptoms should let up within a 3-4 days. But you may experience lighter versions of them for up to 3 weeks. That was the case for me when I went to a 100% raw vegan diet years back. If you make it over that 3 week mark, you’ll probably feel a lot lot better than you have in years.
