What I got out of it
- I have been following the BP diet for the past year and a half with incredible results. The most important thing I have learned is which foods don't make me feel good the consequences of eating these foods. I sometimes ignore this and drink some of my favorite beers or enjoy an amazing dessert but I do this consciously and on rare occasions knowing how I will feel later and even the next day or days!
- This diet gives you incredible energy and focus and the roadmap provides a spectrum for what foods will make you feel the best. This is by no means an all-or-nothing diet which are often frustrating and depressing
- Creates a system to follow so what foods to eat, buy and how to prepare them becomes automatic while still allowing for enough flexibility for you to experiment and try new, delicious recipes
- Limited exercise and still look and feel great
