3 months or close, I believe. I didn't specifically have a plan other than to eat as low fat as possible. getting as lean as I did was a big surprise because I have been trying to do that off and on for years through various diets and exercise and with this I did it without restrictions calories or doing and formal exercise.
I added fats back in on recently, maybe a month or less. Before, fat would immediately make me gain fat and also give me negative signs like inflammation and poor endothelial function. This time though I have had any of that, so I'm guessing that I either fixed my metabolism enough to process fat quickly or I had leaky gut before or endotoxin or a combination. I'm keeping a close eye on it though but it's nice to eat high fat/high carb because I don't have to supplement with vitamins as much.
Diet now is almost the same as before, still no meat, very few of any kind of vegetables, no oils except CO to cook with, lots of tropical fruits and juice. Things that are different are little to no starch (besides bananas), I traded it for fat because eating both gives me digestive issues. Full fat milk, butter, lots of cheese, 3-4 eggs a day.
