Does it make a difference if one alternates between L&G and full fast?
Alernate days? Alternate weeks? or Does this mess up the metabolism? Thanks.
There's no real studies to back up any kind of results by alternating from one plan to the other. Quite a few here on the forum have done this, and maybe they'll chime in with their opinions.
The main reason people choose between the two plans is mostly convenience. To some being able to have a regular meal with the family is a benefit. To others a total break from regular food choices can be beneficial.
The decision is totally yours, and I doubt there'll be very much difference in the overall outcome no matter what you do.
Just remember that the full fast requires monitoring by your doc and with any major change in your diet you should have regular check-ups.
