Moreover, it puts me under critical mass for bee stings, such that I now notice when something delicious crashes my blood sugar and makes me take an unsatisfying three hour nap. This drastically lowers the amount of willpower required to make the long term good decision, because the payoff moves from "6 weeks, at a minimum, if I keep doing everything right, I might feel slightly better" to "There is a direct correlation between this action and the happiness of me 15 minutes from now"
The resistance stretching is also working well. A walk that would previously have left me limping in nonspecific foot pain didn't hurt at all, and my back pain has moved from "well, something is definitely hurting in that region but it's too painful to investigate" to "that specific spot hurts". The pain spots don't actually follow any musculature or connective tissue, and I suspect that's a necessary step for it to stop hurting, but it is still a huge improvement.
