I started to get better when I stopped eating veggies, as is the gospel here, and switched to fruit, just like Scarface.
A lot of advice here is about some people finding something that works for them, thinking this will work for everyone and insisting that everybody follow the same rules.
Don't be a mental prisoner of these rules, just try things and keep what works. And don't starve yourself, you won'heal faster, you will just weaken your body.
