How much should I be diluting juices?

[Guest guest]

On the intro diet I was diluting my grape juice to 50% with water and

have tended to drink it weaker since...more like 1 part juice to 3

parts water. I make my own apple juice and dilute that to 50%.

Is there a rule of how much I should dilute by? I don't want to be

taking more fruit sugar than is recommended. I still have a yeast

problem to conquer!

I expect this is covered in the BTVC book (which I ordered on Feb 9th

and still hasn't been sent!)

TIA

Anne.

Anne,

You've started the diet.... but you don't have the book yet? It's really not

advisable to begin SCD without having read Breaking the Vicious Cycle.

Diluting by 50% or more is fine. Beginners need to dilute at least by 50%.

Patti,

Thanks for the dilution info

I ordered the BTVC book along with a McCandless one from

Amazon on the 9th Feb. One or other of the books is holding up the

order - 4 or 5 weeks until order is dispatched they say, so I'm still

waiting.

I decided to try the intro diet and see how I go.

I can honestly say I didn't take into account what's recommended, I

just wanted to make a start. First stage foods are VERY much in

season here right now and available from my own organic garden so I'm

making the most of them.

I did the intro diet, as I understood it from the website, for 4 days

and I'm now enjoying some stage one foods. If I receive the book and

find I've done it incorrectly, made glaring errors or completely

misinterpreted (I followed it from the website) then I'm prepared to

go back and start again....

- chicken broth, eggs, chicken, beef, bananas, apples, baby zuchinni,

spinach, carrots (so many carrots!), grape juice, apple juice, water.

*Feeling good! And looking forward to receiving my book

Anne,

I make 50% the minimum. I do the same with wine.
