Perhaps what was ment was a more gradual transit? Dunno. Best of luck.

I'd think that "under the curve" a gradual transition wouldn't wash out any faster. I do think you have to be aware of plateau effects/differences between these diets, which is why I try to discard water weight changes and look for a trend AFTER the new plateau is reached.

Optimally I suppose I should try doing a diet this different for longer than 30 days, but it's not always feasible. Some diets are also much more unpleasant than others.

I might do the rice diet again, or a slightly modified version, if the OmegaQuant reveals my LA went down significantly. As I did it, it definitely wasn't a sustainable forever diet, just an intervention/experiment.

Although the rice diet—consisting of rice, fruit/juices, and sugar—doesn't seem all that bad.

I will likely start it on my own. However, my motivation is not weight loss, as that is not an issue for me, but rather to reduce omega-6 intake. It seems like a very effective approach. 2025 just started, so we'll see.

Do you have an OmegaQuant for baseline omega-6?
