I think if you are serious about this woe you will give it a chance by doing the plan properly. This means starting with induction and getting rid of retained water and starting to rid your body of yeast. Then following owl and climbing the carb ladder. On induction the bars are only for when you need to eat and can't possibly get a healthy meal in. I believe in clean induction and whole foods. I am on owl and still believe in whole foods. I think it all depends on how bad you want it!
