Light exercise is a great complement to the diet. If you already exercise keep at it but take it easy. Athletes in training may experience a reduction in stamina and are advised to cut back 60-70% of normal training intensity for the duration of the diet. Avoid strenuous exercise as intense exertion may encourage toxins to be reabsorbed rather than eliminated.
