I've been on this diet for en experiment for a full week today. I've never read the book, so I may be doing it incorrectly, but I try make my one meal as balanced and as healthy as possible.

So far, I've noticed no change in energy or awareness, as some people say, however, my mood and stress levels have declined, which is always nice, considering I'm in the home-strech of finals week in college. I don't weigh myself, so it's hard to know if I've lost any weight, but I can say with complete confindence that I havn't gained any either.

I plan to continue eating like this until the end of the month, to give my body a full 30 days to adjust to the changes (it's only been a week now), before I make a full judgement.

However, on the bright side, what I enjoy most about eating like this is that I've regained my love for eating and cooking again. Before I was so worried about making sure the meals were light and healthy enough that I never enjoyed them. Now I can spend all day preparing roast chicken, rice, vegetables, all kinds of food, and just know that in a few hours I can sit down and eat until I feel like stopping.

I've found that one of the greatest feelings in the world is being completly full and content after a long day.
