• I started today with my melon. That is my puppy the on the day we got her from the rescue shelter. She was so tired from all the excitement she just passed out in the car. She's full grown now and is the most playful dog you'll ever see.

• I'm starting to do something similar atm (today was my first day) I've been eating watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew and drinking some detox tea. I'd heard of a 21-day melon detox before so I thought i'd give it a go. Normally I detox for health/e…

• you may want to try everclear (the alcoholic drink) Its pretty much ethanol only it is food grade. I don't know if it is legal in your county/state, but that is probably your best bet. Personally i say live with the bugs, but i still have those mome…

• I don't know that i would recommend a full fast. you do drop weight and its dangerous if you dont have it to lose. your body will begin to cannibalize your muscles. I would say eat tons of fresh produce. You may want to make big batches of green jui…

• I wish he would differentiate between sources of fructose. I think getting 25 g of fructose from agave is much worse than say, eating a mango. Im not 811 by any means, but i think eating fruit is healthy for you and sweeteners should be limited or a…

• i say drink up as well. i drink lots of herbal teas and some black, green and yerba mates on occasion. You can make raw herbal teas by growing/drying your own herbs and them brewing them in a sun tea pitcher on your porch.

• As a general rule- don't buy cereal's unless they are organic. But as an even better practice, don't buy premade cereal. Its nutritionally devoid, and expensive. You can make lots of things yourself for much less money and little to no time. Check o…

• for me, when i did the high fruit/low fat 811 diet I would be hungry all the time. It wasn't so much physical hunger, but i would crave things. Like when eating cheap chinese take-out, you'd be full and then 30 min later hungry again despite eating …

• Here is my two cents on the whole thing. I tried 811 for a couple months and failed miserably. It jacked up my mouth (my lips and gums were swollen and bleeding and i was constipated, which is odd since it was like 80g of fiber a day) I prefer to ke…

• Ive heard that that can happen with wheatgrass too if you drink too much when youre not used to it. Its so alkaline that you rapidly detox. More than 1 oz is considered a therapeutic dose and you should work your way up to these
