Hi, I’ve read the book and am fascinated by what I’ve read. I am very fortunate that I do not have any food intolerances but I have always eaten too much sugar! I am hoping that the diet may help me get this under control, and also increase the range of foods that I eat! Am I correct in assuming that, since I have no intolerances, it would still be best for me to do the whole Remove and Repair thing? Many thanks for any guidance. I’m really excited!

Hi Fliptop

I was tested as pre-diabetic, went on the Blood Sugar Diet, lost 3 stone in weight over 3 months and blood sugar now under control. Continuing with the diet as recipes are wonderful. Similar to your query, I don’t have any gut problems (that I am aware of) so do I have to do phase1 or can I go straight into phase 2.

Note for Administrator I would like to volunteer for the potato starch/sleep trial.

I cannot see any reason not to go straight to phase 2. But don’t rush it! Change 1-2 things only at a time and see how your body reacts. Huge, sudden, changes are disruptive and very hard to sustain. Its a journey- one step at a time. All of that said, every one is an individual and the only real way to know what a good diet FOR YOU is, is to have your micro biome analysed:

Thanks Graham for the useful feedback, yes I am trying one thing at a time. I started off my first batch of Purple Sauerkraut yesterday and look forward to the result in 3 weeks as per the recipe in the book. Very interesting Tedx video backing up the stuff reported by Michael in his book.
Best regards

Many thanks Shuggieg, for the tip about the Blood Sugar Diet. I will certainly read that, and start there.

Take one step at a time.
