As I read the article, I became pleasantly surprised at how it evolved into a story about a guy learning to live a more holistic life vs just one of losing weight.

I think that evolution was the author's journey, and it was what he was trying to communicate by recounting it for us.

Thank you. This is not a post from a diet guru trying to sell anything. This is a personal story about how one change is leading to a mindset change. The details of labeling a diet are not the point. Thanks for seeing a bigger picture.

Absolutely. I encourage and am encouraged by anyone who is on a quest for personal development. That you additionally chose to share your story (including your struggles) in such detail was an act of generosity. I appreciate the many references, novel insights, and opportunities for my own self-reflection.

Continued success to you.
