hey thanks @dswigle. that's great news to hear about your son. 30lbs is a life changing amount of weight and the side benefits to detox and how the brain is fueled are probably not fully understood or appreciated.

Cabbage is one of the keys. A high protein diet needs a lot of fibre to balance it out and WATER intake has to go up by at least 1 litre per day. A lot of people ignore this and it puts a lot of strain on the kidneys which are processing more protein than usual !

the holidays are hard.. but if you can make it into part of your routine a few days off the bandwagon aren't too bad :)
