I am approximately 70 days into my four-day rotation food plan. I have eliminated all foods that I tested positive for and would like to share my results with you.

As well as a 10-pound weight loss, I have had a marked decrease in gastrointestinal distress. This has also been accompanied by increased energy levels, particularly upon waking. I would usually feel tired even though I had slept 7-8 hours.

It is always satisfying when, as a doctor, you can help your patients. It is also satisfying to be able to help yourself. It is certainly not easy giving up some of my favorite foods but the results are worth the effort.
