So because this method heavily relies on having the right gut bacteria, I'm thinking that if you don't see any results whatsoever within a full month (and after following the regimen stringently) then that may be a sign that you don't have the right bacteria to convert and maybe you should consider making a few changes to your diet and cleaning it up some. 

I haven't been on this method long, but I wanted to throw out a few suggestions because I've studied diet and nutrition and I'm a big health nut (and I really want everyone to succeed if this can really work!! :  

I would suggest try introducing more fermented foods to your diet like: fermented sauerkraut and veggies, natto, kombucha, kefir, miso, and yogurt. Make sure it is labeled live and active cultures and it should be found in the refrigerated aisle (if it's not refrigerated it probably doesn't have active cultures). If you don't want to do that, try taking a high quality probiotic and enzyme pill to take daily. This will increase healthy gut bacteria. You can also try buying a raw green powder or even a meal replacement shake (with probiotic and enzymes section in the ingredients label) to drink to take daily. 

If you eat really unhealthy (junk food, process meals, lots of fast food) then those are the things that decrease healthy gut bacteria and increase bad bacteria in your system. Try minimizing that greatly (moderation is key), and also try to have one vegetarian meal a day (so either a vegetarian breakfast, lunch, or dinner). 

I started this method on the 26th of January, but I'm also noogling since the 18th of January. So far I've grown almost an inch, but it isn't holding so it's mostly swelling, but I'm excited and I think I'm going in the right direction. 

Really hope this helps for the people concerned with their diet, and I don't mean to hijack your thread Ellen but I do wonder if you think this might increase the success for your method! Please let me know if you agree or not! : <3
