Because cortisol plays a part in the metabolism of carbohydrates, the most effective diet appears to be a low carbohydrate, high protein diet. Many have found success with ketogenic and paleo diets. Fasting diets, salt restriction, juicing fasts and colon cleansing type diets are not recommended because we lack the mechanism to properly regulate electrolyte balance and fluid retention. They could potentially create life-threatening conditions from dehydration or electrolyte imbalance.
