I learned that a person has the power to feel better, only if they are willing to take drastic steps. To me they weren't drastic though. I was desperate for relief.
I turned to the Whole Foods Farmacy. They provide easy nutrient dense foods. I just realized that sounds really unappealing...... But really you get over it. I swear! I ate this stuff strictly for a month.
The phi plus is kind of a granola like food that I would roll in little balls and pack for lunch. It's the main food you should eat, everything else is snacks. You don't need much to fill you up. The food expands to three times it's size in your stomach. Really listening to your body to tell if your full, is a key lesson when you start.
The whole approach of this company is that for the past centuries we have been trying to fix our illnesses by adding more garbage into our systems and that really isn't healthy.

let medicine be thy food"Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine (460-377 B.C.)
I know as American's many people do not eat the correct foods at all. Some of us though do try, but I've learned those attempts aren't enough if you really want to transform yourself. While this was just the first step I took to the new me, it was a very important one.
It was difficult to do this while in high school. Many people made fun of my food, and judged me because of it. At restaurants, I was frowned at for never ordering food, and couldn't take out the food I brought along. Friends were weary to hang out.
DETOX WAS A BITCH. I'm not going to sugar coat it. It was like I had the freaking flu and my headache was like a sledgehammer to the brain. Day three I almost died but by day five things get better. I guess what I m trying to say is that if you do this hold on!!
I also did a green smoothie approach alongside of this and added the Whole foods Farmacy smoothie powders in. I drank them for breakfast and was full until noon. Those smoothies, are amazing. The enzymes from the crushed greens helped my digestive system and the added nutrients from the pharmacy calmed my burning nerves. I had shooting pain and numbness down my arms and into my hands. After just seven days that was almost completely gone. I also had much better energy and could wake up easier.
After about three weeks of this I started adding foods that I could possibly be allergic to into my diet. This was during thanksgiving mind you and I still held strong. I chose sugar. Immediately my headaches and nerve issues came back. After eating just one thing and feeling like I was going to go into a coma. I quit again.
Why would I want to eat things that make me feel bad?
Then I added Dairy. Mind you Dairy and lactose allergies are different. I'll explain that later. I noticed that my brain became more foggy and I was sluggish and felt nauseous. So I decided not to ever put it in my body again.
The biggest revelation came was the gluten. I ate it and felt like I was going to die. Headaches, nausea, stomach pain, nerve issues. Just to name a few.
SO I don't eat those things EVER! Am I ever tempted to cheat, sort of. But then I think of how I will feel and sober up.
While I am currently full time 100% paleo, THIS still was one of the best things I have ever done.
Guys, I did this over thanksgiving and Christmas. Not once was I tempted by what the others were eating. sure I got strange looks. But I started not giving a damn. I feel better this way. And no one can pressure, or make you feel bad for what you eat. Just because society has decided that the foods that are normal to eat hurt and cripple the body, doesn't mean you have to eat them.
OH!!
I AM NOT A SPOKESPERSON FOR THIS COMPANY. I consulted no one but the voices in my head when I wrote this post. You know the ones that play out the dialogue for novels I want to write. Yup those are the ones!
