One word of warning:- It's very common for people at the start of going rawpalaeo to experience a detox reaction. This happens in particular to those who go all-raw or mostly-raw overnight. In my case, in the first 2-3 days of suddenly going rawpalaeo , I got massive diarrhea where I had to visit the bathroom/toilet practically every half hour, producing green stools. Others might experience constipation or some other side-effect.
The reason for the detox is simply that we all build up so many toxins after years of eating cooked foods so that once the body starts getting decent raw nutrition, it suddenly feels the need to get rid of a huge back-store of toxins.
Detoxes, after that, should be quite moderate, by comparison, and getting less and less common as time goes by. For example, after my raw-dairy-phase, I would get a period of 1-3 days every 2 to 4 months, where I'd get mild flu-like symptoms(warm forehead, fatigue, runny nose, but no more than that), and these detoxes became more and more reduced in terms of severity, duration and frequency, until they stopped completely after c.2 years on the diet.
It should be noted that not all adverse reactions are due to detox(my negative experiences with raw dairy being an example). Basically, a genuine detox should usually be reasonably moderate, symptom-wise, and one should always feel very slightly better after each detox episode. If symptoms persist for a long period, then it's unlikely to be a detox, and may be a food-intolerance to a specific raw food etc.
