Health Nuts: After Your "Lifestyle Change"...

...did you have any major changes in your life?

By that I mean, I am sure a number have watched the documentaries where people have changed to a plant based diet, Jenny Craig, no sugar, Weigh Watchers, or whatever. Upon changing their diet (or lifestyle) they drop all kinds of weight, are no longer taking 12 pills per day, or are not diabetic anymore, etc.. For those who've made a change in lifestyle and diet, have you had any changes?

Earlier this year I had went to the Dr's because I had some ear ringing and higher blood pressure to have blood work done. After that, even before getting the results back, I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up some books to change my diet (or lifestyle). I cooked more of my own meals, and found a way to get the fruits and vegetables in my diet among other things. I also cut my diet coke intake in half. I also pushed myself on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day.

After roughly 7 months:

* Acid Re-flux GONE! I had been suffering for a decade with that shit. Not a pill since.
* Sleep Apnea GONE! Again, I had really bad for years.
* Allergies and Sinuses. I used to take Clarion-D twice daily 2/3 of year. One box in 2011.
* Less Tired and Fatigue. I used to take at least one nap daily. No more.
* Better Quality of Sleep.
* 1-3 Office Visits Daily (i.e. taking a shit)
* Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and what not back within normal levels.
* Rarely use my freezer for anything anymore. 90% of groceries used to be frozen.

I now have managed to work in the daily servings of fruits and vegetables with juicers and smoothies. Which is something I never could have done realistically without them as I do not care for them. My grocery bill is easily 25-40% per month. I have to make a trip 1-2 times a week, where I used to be able to shop once for an entire month.
