And welcome to day 2 of tapering onto the elemental diet. For myself and my wife anyway. The tapering isn’t as hard as one might think.
Mindset is everything. Two cups of black coffee to wake up. Then a shake for breakfast.  Followed by 2 meals throughout the day as normal.  It changes as the days go on and eventually just shakes for a couple of weeks.
Hopefully this time I don’t get on the diet and break my arm like last time.

This diet was designed for the Apollo astronauts. It is an opportunity to shed unnecessary pounds and repopulate the microbiome on the way off of the diet with healthy populations. It also gives the gut time to heal.
