I find the past few days I've been really tired and low on energy. I know this is part of the detox, but I can't seem to find information on the duration of this detox part.
Any help will be greatly appriciated, thanks in advance.

well normally it takes about a week until the body get ready of the bad stuff, normally you have to take juices, vegies, natural food, no fried, home style food is the best, also until you body digest system starts working normally, you have to drink lots of water, flush the system. You start to feel the difference, and also depends on your system and how well you stick to the diet.
I hope may help you

Detoxing is an ineffective way to do ANYthing. It just slows down your metabolism, it's all hype, and there are NO proven health benefits. It's just another fad with no proven results. Instead, if you want to get your health and energy back up, you have to change everything about your lifestyle, not just not cooking your food and drinking lemon juice and chili peppers for a week. Eating more fruit and vegetables is fabulous, but they don't HAVE to be raw. Studies done in the past 10 years have proven that while some chemicals in foods are lost when cooked, some are actually formed, ones which are extremely important for your body. Don't expect miracles from a raw foods diet, it's outdated and- once again- an ineffectual fad. So what can you do? Start putting more and more vegetables and fruit (cooked or not!) into your diet, and set GOALS for yourself for food and exercise. Try to eat small meals, but eat frequently, and as many fruit and vegetables as possible. Whole grain is also another great snack to help keep you full. You shouldn't have to go hungry! Essentially, you need to make a plan for yourself and start fixing your LIFEstyle, not buying into fads or miracle diets. Good luck! -ML

im with jetgirly.
Your body is going into shock from lack of carbohydrates and vitamins and minerals (which are more easily assimilated in cooked foods and meat)
The high fibre content will give you gas and make you lethargic after meals because it placed too much work on your digestive system. You are effectively fasting.
I believe your diet is unhealthy and extreme and will lead to numerous health problems. But it's your body.
Try making fresh juices or shakes (blended fruit with ice only) to keep your blood sugar levels up.

LMAO!! Detox, indeed.
No, what you are experiencing is low energy due to the sudden drop in calories, as well as discomfort from sudenly overloading your body with a high-fiber diet that is going to cause cramps, bloating and (most of all!) gas.
It will last until you adjust the diet...of course. Or, you could try Bean-O (it helps).

The energy drop and fatigue are caused by getting insufficient nutrients and calories. Typically, the side effects of a detox include headaches (from sugar withdrawl) and/or nausea (from a sudden increase in chlorophyll (from leafy green veggies). You are experiencing symptoms of malnutrition!

It can last a week or 2. It too depends on how toxic you were starting it. Consider some cooked foods to slow it down if it becomes too much.
