This is by far the best diet I've ever heard of and it's perfect to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass. If you don't know what your "sweet spot" is, stay at 30 or under, although I'd think even 40 is a good threshold for most people.

I ONLY drink water (and alcohol).

Alcohol wise, I only have whisky straight (or the odd few light beers).

I at 5-6 times a day instead of twice a day (used to skip breakfast a lot).

I eliminated eating almost all canned and frozen/processed foods.

I added more fresh vegetables and fresh fruits to my diet.

I try and do 40% protein, 35% carbs, 25% fat.

I try and get my fats all from healthy products like nuts, peanut butter, beans.

I try and drink no less than 3L of water a day.

So, that worked well but then stopped working (while adjusting my calories as I lost weight).

That's why I am hoping a detox may help jumpstart it again.
