SHIFTING OUR STANCE

It’s helpful to know beforehand that any positive alteration in diet is going to produce a result and our body will make adjustments that may initially create discomfort. It’s no different than starting a new exercise program.
At first, your muscles may feel sore. But as you continue with your program, becoming stronger and fitter, the soreness vanishes. In the same way, it’s important to maintain a new food regimen until the changed biochemistry is recognized as the new “normal” by your system.

STAY THE COURSE

We must put up with minor, interim discomfort for the long-term gains we seek. Fortunately, the discomfort doesn’t last very long as the body adapts quickly. You can help with this process by trying some of the activities and suggestions you’ll find in this book.
