Aloha! I’m just starting too. I feel the same way you do about digesting all of the information. I read the book and this is my first day on the website. I just finish setting up my profile and completing all of the quizzes on line to begin documenting my history on the website. After I completed reading the book 3 weeks ago, I drove to my local Vitamin store and purchased many of the basic supplements Dr. Hyman recommended in the book, i.e. fish oil, PGX, D3, Magnesium, Alpha-Liposomething, green tea, etc. I was really feeling physically awful at the time. After taking the supplements for 3 weeks now, I feel so much better and so much mentally stronger. So much so that I took steps beginning last week to exercise to my idle routine (yesterday I met with a fitness trainer and beggining next week, we’ll meet every Monday/Wed/Fri). I also began noticing how I feel after I eat, which I felt awful. I identified from reading Dr. Hyman’s book that I cannot handle carbs, grains, fruits and dairy. When I ate meals last and this week with only meat and veggies, I felt good afterward. When I ate meals with carbs, grain, dairy or fruit, I had headaches, stomach ache, body aches, and I felt so sluggish and tired. So now, I’m convinced that only meat (lean beef and certain fish) and veggies are the best combo for me. Today, I woke up with the decision that I needed to go on Dr. Hyman’s website, register, and get serious about implementing the 2 week planning/getting ready phase and begin to take his suggestions seriously. The last 3 weeks of just ”dabling” with some of his advice and ”noticing” how I feel before/after is what I needed to jump off the cliff. It’s so much to digest. But it’s definitely digestable, one bite at a time. At least you and I know that we are jumping off the right cliff and digesting things that will make us feel physically and mentally better then we do now. I live in paradise on earth but now I need to create paradise in my physical body and mind…because I’ve created only hell in the last 44 years. I ready to match the inside with the outside. Please be encouraged. I am….

Hi Bonnie,
There is a lot to remember on this plan. The week by week guide in the BSS book is a great help. And as the days go by the information will sink in.
This site really kept me on track and provided community support since I was doing the plan alone. If you have questions just ask and you will probably get an answer. Also if you have a lot of food or suppliment questions the nutritional coaching is very helpful.
Stay well, Margaret week 13

I felt like that it was just too much to understand too. But when I began just going step by step, in the prep period the pieces began to fall into place. I have a routine now and can continue that easily. Now I buy one different vegetable to try out and this week I have a gaint purple egg plant. This could be interesting. Good luck, Sandy
