I'm fortunate in having a robust digestive tract that can digest pretty much anything. The carb-heavy grain and beans only made me fat, dull, and lethargic; switching to a more paleo diet took the weight off and restored my energy. Others aren't so lucky. There's a guy in FF who I've seen on another diet related Yahoo group, and his is probably one of the most extreme cases of a Roo diet destroying health. The guy can now barely eat or keep weight on, and the diagnosis seems to be gastroparesis. As for spiritual awakening experiences, I didn't start having them until after I'd changed my diet to include more meat and far less gain and beans. Go figure...
