I hope you are not eating as you read this, but it seem as if my bowel movements move in different colors (even red!), textures, etc. which didn't happen before. Is this common?? I assume it is because i RARELY ate fruit before, only tons of raw protein/fat.

It is not that big a transition; both diets are raw, and therefore wount sedate and poison your body. quote: Any side affects that you know of or have experienced first hand?? Side-effects of what? "the transition"? you will notice a difference, but I don't know whether that fits your definition of 'side effects'...
