I am not a doctor, dietitian or nutritionist. This is only my personal interpretation of what I have read and my experiences from what I have done. You should not take my experiences, nor what I write about as any form of recommendation. Always consult your medical advisors first. What I have done is not suitable for everyone, which is a good reason to check with your doctor first.
