I believe the idea is simply to eat foods that do not stimulate the release of insulin in a significant manner. So green veggies work but whole grains are not good for the OP's health situation.
I also have always been really questioning of the "cleansing" function of fiber; I believe the main potential benefit is feeding the better bacteria in the gut.
IMO, I think there is something to be gained by achieving a fast of approximately over 36 hours, because the body will have passed through the "struggle phase" and enter a state where glucagon takes the lead in energy production for cells. Only pulled it off once in my life though...I really lack willpower.
You and @igor_kavinski should get together and share your "sage" dietary advice lol... I'll stick with my MD's and nutritionist's advice instead thanks.
Btw dibs on both your stuff!
