I do this once a week because I eat so much protein throughout just one day (including protein powder), I kinda want to give my gut a break from all that. I detox my intestines and bod and I can really notice a difference. In the morning following my raw day, I'm uber lean, I completely empty my tank (if you know what I mean haha) and my skin feels amazing.

I am not saying go and do this but I eat big hearty meals (a lot of food!) the other 6 days so one day off changes up routine and metabolism.
