This quest completely changed the way I think about and look at food. I have finally arrived at a huge amount of the answers I was looking for in last several years because I was almost certain that something is off, but could not point out in what is that, what should I do differently. I was not really overweight, I had plenty of energy, and so on. Still, I felt like something is not perfect.
After this training I feel a little sad because it feels like when a very good movie or a great book ends and there is no next chapter to see. (I felt like this when Back to the Future ended and the last Harry Potter book, or more recently when I finished Atlas Shrugged). Apart from the little summertime sadness, I'm very very confident about my future with food and think this is a great foundation for my health.

In this training there are very very sound and logical reasons about food choices, and the best part is: these are not some strict, "my way or the highway" type of rules - you may figure out for yourself what works the best for you and re-evaluate from time to time.
The biggest achievement for me is that my springtime allergy that was not far from crippling when it kicked in - it is now GONE, I don't even know where are my allergy pills because I did not take a single one this year. Also, I was able to do very demanding endurance tasks this summer, that would only happen with a truckload of bread products and chocolate last year with some sugar sickness afterwards. This year, I just had my vegetables and water with a little nuts and even had plenty of energy by the end of the day.
To finish off: the greatest thought that stuck with me from the beginning is the notion of food freedom, that goes both ways - freedom to eat whatever you like, and NOT eat what you don't like, and this is what I like the most about this program - I have some very very delicious coffee sitting on the table for weeks now, and I was able to look at it and say - yes that coffee looks really great, and I know I was drinking 3-5 espressos a day - I will drink it some other time.
