After your 3-Day Koso Cleanse (or more like 5 Day cleanse), try to watch your diet especially the first week after the cleanse. We suggest you avoid the following foods: red meat, fish, dairy products, processed food, fatty meals, deep-fried food, sweets, gluten, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol.
Recommend food are vegetables, fruit, bean, tofu, sesame, seed, fermented food, mushrooms, potato, soba, seaweed and so on.
We suggest you continue consuming Koso on a daily basis by drinking the Koso mixture with meals to help with digestion. If you stop it your gut might return to your previous.
