I feel great following the program! I feel energetic, healthy, lighter, more attractive (my clothes always fit better!), and more rested. I feel accomplished for having stuck to it and proud of my hard work. The most unexpected changed that I noticed was that I was able to sleep better. I also noticed that I get sick far less than I used to. I’m a teacher, so frequent sickness was just part of the gig, but with the Platinum Nutrition Program [and chiropractic adjustments that I’ve been getting], I’m hardly ever sick, even when so many of my students and colleagues are.

I have done the program two additional times since the first time and do it on an annual basis. During the second time, I paired it with the regular exercise I was doing.

During the third time, I added 16-hour daily fasting into it. I now incorporate time-restricted eating on a daily basis.

I no longer spend time thinking about diet or fasting. It is just a habit now.

I still eat on a regular basis outside of the program guidelines, but I have a better understanding of the consequences and body responses so I know what I am walking into.

I found myself complaining to a personal trainer about feeling bloated and “stuck” when it came to my relationship with food.

Despite what I thought of healthy eating, and having logged nearly 1,700 miles on a bicycle for the year, I was discouraged with my weight and low energy levels.

He asked me a few questions about my dietary habits, asked if I have ever done any kind of dietary reset, and suggested I investigate Platinum Chiropractic’s Platinum Purification Program.

I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I expected:

• to be hungry. I never was.

• to feel unable to complete 50-mile bike ride without an egg sandwich or other carbs. I wasn’t. 

• food and recipes to be boring and flavorless.  They weren’t.

• to be out there on my own without support

I didn’t expect:

• it to be so easy to follow the plan and not “cheat”

• to learn that I could fundamentally change how I eat and how I snack

• to learn afterward bread, rice and pasta really leave me feeling rather yucky and red meat, even the good stuff, wreaks a bit of havoc on my system

• to incorporate some simple changes on a permanent basis

• to enjoy investing time and energy in cooking and preparing food from scratch

• to find that first cup of coffee when it was all over really wasn’t that tasty!

Overall, this was a really great learning experience.
