Surviving the Chocolate Withdrawl! :)

Man am I tired today. I feel like I've been hit by a bus or something. I was reading on the forum (http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/) that eating cooked food when your body is used to raw foods will do that to you, because your body has to break down and get rid of the toxins which slows it down. Others say they feel extremely tired and lathargic. I would agree with them 100%!!! I didn't think it would have this effect - I just assumed when they mention cooked foods they mean pasta or McDonalds or something like that. I didn't think steamed veggies would do it too. I guess because your digestive system has to work harder? I don't know.
It could also be the MSM though, I took that basically for the first time this morning.
And it could also be because I didn't get up until 9:00 - which pretty much screws your whole day up! :)
We'll see what happens tomorrow. I've been all raw today, so I should be feeling good tomorrow. If not - I'll know it's the MSM. One of its side effects people comment on is poor sleep and wierd dreams or nightmares, if I notice that going on - well... I just hope it doesn't. I have been sleeping pretty good the past three weeks. Still filled with vivid dreams. I wonder if it corrects your sleeping patterns to what it should be, so that when I wake up in the morning, I'm in REM stage and in the middle of a dream. Maybe that's why they seem so vivid and I seem more rested and peaceful lately? Dunno. But I pray the MSM doesn't cause any of those problems for me.
I got through my chocolate craving yesterday, and now it's completely gone after reading Paul Nison's article on chocolate and that it's not actually healthy or good for you at all. Did you know that cacao is one of of the most addicting substances known? And is extremely toxic to the liver. And if you eat it in high amounts it will give you hallucinations and all that other stuff that is usually associated with LSD??! No other animal, besides humans, will eat cacao beans. And if you can trick an animal into eating them, it will greatly shorten their lifespan if not kill them immediately! I would agree that it's extremely addicting. :)  If you want to know more about it you can read his article.

Feel free to argue and disagree! I too love chocolate! :)
