My diet for the next month consisted of meat, fish, eggs, cheese, milk, teas. I initially didn’t drink alcohol and added it back in the third week . I decided to redo my elimination technique, but commit 100 per cent to it and remove all sugar and only include green tea/water and black coffee for the first month.
