If you read your responses to the test VIllagesPL, you can't help but benefit from the diet. I would say that you are at least 60+% responsible for the goodness that the diet is affording you as you have embraced it with enthusiasm, an expected positive experience and a happy lifestyle commitment that permeates all that you do, not just what you choose to eat. You also listen to your body and support it enthusiastically. All these things affect your emotional health and impact the internal soup that supports your health.
I don't believe you have to eat an entirely plant based diet to get the health results you have acquired, but one would do well to adopt the enthusiastic commitment, expected positive outcome and passion to support health that you have demonstrated regardless of what they choose to eat. I do believe that weighting the diet towards the micronutrients is a wise decision for anyone, but doing that reluctantly and with any feelings of deprivation doesn't help the body to utilize and absorb the food well. At least that is part of my belief, which I have aquired from many sources over the years.
