I wouldn't freak yourself out over it. Some people thrive on rigid regimes, and for other people the stress of trying to follow a perfect program does more harm than good. It's not like you're having twinkies for breakfast. You get more body awareness after awhile, and you'll be able to tell what's right for you and what's not. I personally don't see anything wrong with using the principles from various diets & treatments, and patching together a program that works for you, personally. For example, I found that I tolerate milk kefir very well, even though it's not recommended in the early stages of the diet. It has really improved my digestion. (Like most average working people in the midwest, here, I really do not have time to chase down young coconuts and spend half an afternoon cracking them open to make the coconut kefir. Geez. Maybe if I was independently wealthy and also had a maid....) Anyway, a lot of the authors that write these great books on healing diets end up changing and modifying their theories based on new observations in their clients, reports from new studies, etc., and they come out with revised additions of their books. WEll, that's my 2 cents.
