...just to add to the issue of energy. I know a lot of people will feel worse before they feel better when making a drastic change to a healthier diet.

I went through this. I almost literally went from eating McDonalds every day to an unprocessed vegan diet overnight (although now I'll eat animal products once every week or so). But initially...I didn't fully notice the positive effects until about 2-6 months into it.

I didn't feel good at first, but over time, I lost 50 lbs, reversed my diabetes, cured my high triglycerides, lowered cholesterol to normal levels, lowered my blood pressure, got rid of my acne, stopped getting cold sores, stopped getting ulcers, and stopped getting sick in general. It didn't happen overnight...it was a slow improvement over many months and I definitely felt worse before things got better.
