It is an excellent food which is why I recommended it. All of their diet are great! I'm sorry if I eluded to switching the diet slowly. I did not mean that. It is best to change right away. Please refer to this link which should answer all of your questions on how to change diets. You can also call Lafeber's for help. They will be happy to help you.
