@francstoic - I have to admit that I've had similar experiences. I spent 2 weeks on a very strict vegan diet with no wheat or soy and felt 0 difference from my regular diet of lacto-ovo veggie fare. I also spent a month living on $1 of food per day as a fundraiser. Beyond the normal "I'm hungry and cranky" stuff, it didn't seem to effect me much.
Admittedly I would feel pretty sluggish if I only ate processed foods with no fresh veggies, but I really don't notice any mental clarity/emotional detox benefits like Steve and others have described.
