I'd never go back. The effect was incredible. Skin problems cleared up, lost thirty-five pounds, I'm stronger, sharper, and I Haven't Had A Cold Since. This from a five-cold-a-year guy, all of them two weeks of misery. Not. One. Since.

Power. It's total power. I snap back from exercise faster. I hike harder. Fricking amazing.

Never going back, ever.

Plus, the fake meat industry has got it dialed in. Vegetarian Plus from Taiwan has a selection of vegan meats -- ginger chicken, citrus barbecue spareribs -- OMG. So good.

Wish I'd done this a lot earlier.
