I was amazed at how much free time I had when i wasn't thinking about what i was gonna eat, cooking it, consuming it, etc...I found it very freeing..I'm about to start my 2nd one tomorrow..I hear each one is different or you learn something new about yourself..I am looking forward to what lies ahead..Good luck to you..and let yourself "feel" the wonderful unclutteredness of food..(Is that a word?)
