I have read those books, and the Primal books, and the Paleo books, and some lunatic book about eating like a Viking.
All of the books say their programs must be followed absolutely for results. And, I know I am not going to do that. I glean useful bits from all of the books -- yes, even the Viking one -- and compile habits I can actually use in my life.
This has resulted in cooking almost everything I eat myself, it's resulted in using coconut oil in cooking and coconut milk in smoothies, it's resulted in baking my own bread, it's resulted in organic veggies from the co-op.
It's also resulted in feeling fan-fucking-tastic most of the time. IBS? Gone. Acid reflux? Gone. Persistent joint aches? Gone. Of course, I'm also working out four days a week, too. And taking vitamins and supplements.
I guess I'm saying, I don't know what parts of the changes in the last year are making me feel good. So I keep plugging away at all the parts, all the time.
NOT trying to be healthy, but to be healthier than I used to be. It seems to be working for me.
