Some readers will note that there is a discrepancy between the first two editions of the Waterfall Diet, and the 3rd edition, which will be published in January 2010.

The discrepancy concerns the length of time allowed for Phase I of the diet. This was previously two months and has been reduced to four weeks.

The book also says that if you have serious problems with keeping to the diet for this amount of time, you can reduce Phase I to two weeks before proceeding to Phase II (testing). However it does also say that this is not ideal, because Phase I is not just for allergy testing, it also aims to give your body a rest from all the usual dietary stressors with a view to improving your metabolism.

In order to help as many people as possible I was torn between recommending the ideal (two months) and what most people would see as a more manageable target.
