Memorable Moments:

”When my mom found this diet, it pretty much changed my life for the better.”

”This diet has made me decrease the medicine but still be able to focus…I’ve decreased my medicine by 90%…I don’t have low blood sugar anymore.”

”My taste buds have also changed during this diet.”

”My diet has been a positive influence on many people. In fact, my teachers will even come up with their meals and be like, ‘Look what I’m eating. I’m eating all these vegetables….' I’m known as the pepper boy at my school because every day I bring peppers.”

”Everyone knows that I have a diet, and no one judges me for it. In fact, I probably get more compliments than I do weird looks or anything.”

”I have a community that accepts me.”

”Don’t be sad about what you can’t eat, but learn to enjoy what you can eat.”

”You can still have lots of friends even though you might not eat the same as them. If they’re good friends, they’re not going to leave you just because of what you eat.”

”It’s definitely worth it. 100%”

”Trust that the diet will make you the person that you want to be - for sure - because it made me the person I want to be.”
