This is the plan I follow and it makes it INCREDIBLY easy to get in a lot of vegetables and fruits and whole grains. Very nutrient dense. And your body feels amazing. [/quote]

Yes I forgot to say, I feel like I can feel life buzzing in my body as I eat this diet - a feeling I haven’t felt for many years since my youth.

I suffered a terrible vitamin deficiency that went undiagnosed for half a decade and really destroyed my health - I had dry beri beri from chronic thiamine (B1) deficiency and doctors spent years putting me through expensive tests looking for zebras but had never done a breakdown test of the B vitamins so it went undetected. Dry beri beri causes a host of neurological and movement symptoms very akin to MS, which was my first provisional diagnosis on the journey of nearly 8 years to get resolved - but the recovery of my health will take more years as the beri beri and immobility wrecked muscle ton and packed on pounds.
 
Having had the experience of this condition, it really made the connection for me how critical these micronutrients are and how devastating their absence. So I’m unsurprised that suddenly eating a diet based on vegetables and fruit and beans and whole grains and nuts/seeds has my body singing.

Ultra processed food has us all sick and slowly dying. Read Robert Lustig, MD - and I will stop evangelizing.[/quote]
