I want to go at least 70% raw, but it makes me pee a lot...?!


Question: I want to go at least 70% raw, but it makes me pee a lot...?
So I want to go mostly raw vegan, but I've had a couple of raw meals, and it makes me go to the bathroom a LOT. Is this just a temporary symptom, or will I have to live with running to the bathroom all the time while eating mostly raw?

Answers:

If you check out the composition of raw vegetables, you will see that most of them have more than 70-80 % water content. It is the physical and chemical structure which makes them solid.
So, obviously you have increased the intake of water which causes you to pee frequently.



certain vegetables are diuretics and will make you pee more, I know celery causes this, I think you need to check each individual variety you eat, maybe you could try reintroducing one thing at a time to see which things give you the urge to pee more.



It's temporary. Your body is detoxing and will adjust pretty quickly.
