@Bruce: You raise many interesting points, partly explaining why I decided to make a career out of this. Figuring out how reality truly works is so fascinating to me that I couldn't leave it to be a side hobby.

You're right that I share what works for me and that it may not necessarily work for everyone else. Pretty much everything I share works for some people but not for others. I don't think it's wise to follow anyone's advice blindly, but the benefit of advice is that it can help you discover new ideas you may not have otherwise tried. Even when advice seems sound, it's still a trial and error process to apply it as individuals.

The simple act of trying something new is an awareness-raising experience. I'm learning a great deal from this 30-day trial that I'd have otherwise remained blind to, and much of it has nothing to do with diet. And by sharing it and having the opportunity to get feedback from others, I'm learning even more.

It's so important for us to be able to set our egos aside and just dive in and test something without being attached to outcomes or to a need to be right. Perhaps the greatest outcome of all is the personal experience of the journey and the inner growth we enjoy along the way, regardless of the objective results.
