While following my previous diet, I allowed myself one cheat day per week. There were specific reasons for this, and having this cheat day increased the overall effectiveness of the diet.

Now that I have switched to raw vegan, of course processes in my body are running differently than while on a low carb diet. That cheat day is no longer needed.

Well, I decided I’d try it anyways to see how it would turn out. Yesterday I ate some pizza, and had a sugary Starbucks drink, allowing myself refined sugars, dairy, oils, and grain products.

I felt terrible. I felt heavy, lazy, tired, unmotivated, bloated, and just yucky. I still feel terrible and it’s the next day. I woke up dehydrated and feeling hung over. No more cheat days for me man!

Now onward to the market to pick up some fruit :)
