So What?

I changed my diet last year and I lost 30lbs. So what? I saw on the news, this guy, who weighed 900lbs and had to be evacuated from his home by emergency rescuers. Who cares if I lost 30lbs because we've all lost our perspective. A human who lost 30lbs is nothing compared to a human who should consider losing 750.

We have been so heavily bombarded with nutritional and dietary information that we can't really care that much more about the less sensational words or testimonials.

A drastic, potent, and life-altering change in diet where one person loses 30lbs off her overburdened skeleton can not compete with the sensations of technology and the lethargy and boredom from heap-upon-heap of nutrition and dietary information. Just more words. Who cares?

But for me, losing 30lbs by eating a 90% plant-based diet rich in micronutrients and phytochemicals has relieved my knee and hip pain.

Losing 30lbs by eating a "nutritarian" diet means I no longer have headaches, premenstrual symptoms, I sleep soundly at night, my outlook on life is a happy and satisfied one, I feel more alert, I wake up happy to face the day, I enjoy exercising, my moods no longer fluctuate, I take no medications - ever - for anything, I'm rarely sick and when I do get sick, it never lasts long and I always recover 100% without relapse. My vessels are pliable and my beautiful cabernet colored blood flows through its tubing without effort delivering all my high nutrient packages to open-armed cells, happy to receive these necessary building blocks for a long healthy happy dementia, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, auto-immune disease-FREE life.

So for me, losing 30lbs was sensational.

And 30lbs is a lot of weight. This little cutie weighs 10lbs. If you strapped one on your back, one on your chest and held the other in your arms for a while, you would feel the weight of 30lbs. It's a lot.





Be well little cell.
