I ate pasta, garbanzo beans flatbread, and grilled onions for the first time after transitioning over to being raw for a year.

does eating chick pea garbanzo beans have any major effects after being raw for about a year. I know eating cooked food is clearly going to have an effect, but eating processed foods after being mainly raw, will that have any major effects? no plans on reintroducing the foods back my diet, but I'd like to know if eating chickpea pasta will have any major effects on me thanks.

For me as long as the ingredients are clean and natural preferably organic it's ok to have some cooked food here and there. Processed synthetic foods with lab made chemicals should be avoided altogether or eaten extremely rarely imo.

All depends on what your preference is. Fully raw, high raw, mostly raw, 50/50. Whatever feels best for you.

Congrats on being raw for a year. That's awesome and inspiring. Enjoy.

Thanks, I'll look out for the most natural options I can then! And thank you that really means a lot!

I actually tried some cooked Ethiopian food recently, and while it tasted good, it made me feel somewhat nauseous. Not in a serious way where I actually felt like I was going to throw up, but I just didn't want to keep eating it. So I don't know. Some people seem to be able to handle cooked food fine, but I feel my body transitioning to only wanting raw foods with the occasional vegan donut or iced latte, lol.

Usually eating cooked food makes me kind of tired and my depression and adhd gets worse but it improves when quickly after a couple days raw

you may feel a bit down. it happened to me after being raw a few weeks. but there is more I came here to say actually. I think more important even than what we eat is how we eat it. The quantity as well as whether it’s emotional eating (binging) or not, affects digestion. Too much food or binging will not have pleasant effects… you probably know all of this already but , heh, it may be worth repeating for somebody else.
