I think the price is a good incentive to stick to it for 5 days. Just subtract the cost of food for 5 days and it does not seem too bad. The main reason I'm trying it is that the studies (in this nobel prize nominated diet) show a significant increase in stem cells in the bloodstream after the 5 days. The cardiologist that explained the benefits also tried it and lost 25 pounds. He said it allows for "cheating" with an apple, cucumber or celery if you start feeling faint, but he did it while working. They do recommend no long strenuous activity during the 5 days.
It’s a commercial venture with paid endorsers and no independent verification that any of it works. I had a friend come in my shop about 7-8 years ago with extremely bloodshot eyes and acting sick, a combination diet plus supplement had nearly killed him, he went to the emergency room and spent several days in the hospital. Bear in mind, I’m not trying to knock your efforts you’ve done very well, but everything isn’t for everyone. I’ve lost 55 lbs in the last year with no diet aids or special diet, just common sense action. My BP is down to 110-120 x 60 every time it’s checked. My energy level is way up and I have far fewer bad days.
