Before beginning this or any new nutrition, diet, or exercise program, you should get a physician's approval. While I strongly believe these recommendations can and will work for you, I cannot know each person’s unique dietary needs or limitations. As such, these recommendations are not medical guidelines or advice but are for educational purposes only. These recommendations are designed for healthy individuals, ages 18 and older and are not intended as a treatment for any medical condition and should not be substituted for any program prescribed by your physician. If you take any medications, please consult a physician before starting a new program. If you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, overweight, or any other health concerns, please complete a full physical examination and discuss any nutritional changes with your physician or registered dietician.
