Generally their recommendation on diet for me is what I expected and what I know it fits me. Which is higher amount of lean protein, moderate amount of complex carbs and low fat. But I will not follow their recommended foods Like things with gluten, nuts and seeds etc.. Also they say NO fruits. I don't see any problem with some apple and low sugar fruits like berries etc. full of micronutrients, antioxidants, good fiber. Especially now in the season. When winter comes. I have zero issue to follow complex carbs only with zero simple sugars.. So I think it is about following the core of the diet for sure, but also using common sense..
A little of both. Definitely when the heavy detox came on, but also tried to preempt the sides ahead of time. Also, I have been doing a lot of BJJ, so the baths really help with the sore muscles etc.
Agreed with that. Modify their diet a bit. I’m not afraid of nuts, etc. also, it’s peach season here. Good luck keeping me away from them

Yeah, the diet is important, but you can tweak it a bit so it's more doable. They don't advice any juices and want you to eat cooked vegetables three times a day. I cook a shit load of vegetables each morning and add them with organic tomato, carrot and/or beet juice. I drink this throughout the day and try to mix the vegetables as much as possible. It's not even that bad. Brown rice for carbs. Lots of eggs, meat, chicken and fish. Limit sugar and grains as much as possible, drink four glasses of hydrogen water and you have a very strict, but doable diet you can follow for months. My only fault is that I eat two low sugar/low carb protein bars each day, but that's something I can live with when I decide to call it quits at the end of the day.
Thanks for all the feedback fellows this has been really helpful.

I Take biozyme on top of whichever digestive aid I'm recommended by ARL. Biozyme and wobzyme have been recommended by Helen before. For probiotics, I've taken visbiome in the past, but it can get expensive. Much cheaper to just make your own fermented foods. I make kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir (sometimes I don't tolerate milk well, however). Kimchi + avocado = best snack ever.
Here's a gluten free low glycemic index kimchi recipe that I use (no rice flour or cane sugar that other recipes call for):
