“Not having [unhealthy food] is not much of a hardship, whereas having it makes my arthritis is going to get worse, it’s not worth it, for me I have an incentive. … I knew what it took for me to make the switch… Once I decided to do it, its hasn’t been tough… I pretty much look forward to what I’m going to eat, I’m eating 6 times a day between the juices and then apples oranges and bananas in-between and I’m a happy camper.”
