Side Effects

So many of the things we do or take to improve our health, such as surgery, procedures, or medications, come with the risk of potential side effects. Well, I have a warning for everyone: if you choose to consume a whole, plant-based diet, there will be noticeable side effects! Some of the likely side effects from eating a diet rich in whole, plant-based foods (at least 90% of calories consumed) may include any or all of the following: optimal health; permanent weight loss; increased energy; strong bones; feeling and looking younger and better; lower cholesterol; lower blood pressure; eliminating most migraines, acne, colds, flu, chronic pain, and intestinal distress; reducing or completely eliminating the need for medication; preserving eyesight; adding longevity; curing erectile dysfunction; finally - preventing, treating, and possibly even halting or reversing degenerative diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, kidney stones, constipation, and arthritis. 

I personally chose to switch to a whole, plant-based diet because “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. In other words, I would much rather prevent myself from ever getting a degenerative disease than have to treat a degenerative disease, especially after working in the pharmaceutical industry! Here are some of the side effects I’ve experienced from consuming a whole plant-based diet: increased energy; weight loss (I lost those last 10 pounds that I never thought I could ever lose, plus 5 more); disappearance of asthma, migraine headaches, colds and flu; lower cholesterol; lower blood triglycerides; tighter, softer, more supple skin; and disappearance of fat from all my trouble areas!

If you consume a whole plant-based diet and your health improves, you’ve been warned!
