The first phase of the diet is called the Teardown and lasts up to six weeks. It's crucial for you to follow the diet strictly for the initial two weeks, according to Gundry. During this phase, you focus on protein, nonstarchy vegetables and healthy fats. For the first two weeks, you eliminate grains, starchy vegetables, fruit and sugar.
1-1/2 oz of juice per lime or 3/4 oz of juice per lime half. We ran the experiment again a few days later with 8 limes (16 halves) and another member of the team in charge of the juicing effort. The limes in this test were a little drier, but still gave up almost as much juice.
But exactly how much juice is in a lime anyway? And how much zest is in a lime? In order to figure out how much juice and zest is in a lime we used medium limes as our standard. There are about 5 limes in 1 pound. We found that on average, one lime has 2 tablespoons of lime juice in it. One lime also has 2 teaspoons of lime zest in it. So if a recipe calls for the juice of 1 lime you can substitute 2 tablespoons of bottled juice. Or if it calls for 1 tablespoon of lime juice and you'd rather use fresh you can just take the juice from 1/2 a lime.
