Lai says that the living foods diet is too "cold" for some people, but it can be adjusted to solve the problem. For example, a little licorice and cinnamon can be added to an energy soup made of pureed fruits and vegetables. This should alleviate problems with diarrhea or seemingly endless amounts of saliva. Asian pears eaten unpeeled are also not too "cold."
賴素微指出，生機飲食對部份的人來說可能太寒，但種問題有方法調整、化解，如：在生鮮蔬果打汁作成的精力湯中加少許甘草、肉桂中和，就不會有瀉肚子或口水吞不完的現象；水梨則連皮一起吃就不會太冷了。
