About 1 months for initial "OK, I'm not going to die" and about 3-4 months total.

I would make a several pound salad as my first meal of the day using cruciferous mix from Trader Joes. Mixed with shredded iceberg, raw vegetables (peppers, broccoli), crumbled corn chips, and par-boiled Tempe, and maybe a bit of shredded cheese. Dressing of choice.

For the first month I ate nothing but the salad(s) each day.

Often Greek yogurt with hulled hemp seeds and flax powder or nuts for desert.

Quick taibata session on the elliptical each day. Trained Krav-maga twice a week.

The most interesting thing to me is that I don't know how it got so bad. I was not eating junk, drinking soda or alcohol. Was getting decent exercise regularly. Drank water religiously. I had no antibiotics. I was admittedly eating a lot of home made bread products and was not eating enough raw foods in the runup to this issue.
