Notes on the diet:
- In reality try to limit these as much as possible for the first two weeks.
- Meat is best grass fed and wild/line caught fish is preferable. This means avoiding farm-raised fish.
- Dairy products are better if from grass-fed cattle. Good yogurt products: Lidls Greek Style Yogurt. Whipping cream is liquid, unsweetened heavy cream.
- Excluded because they are fermented. You can make a lovely french dressing with the Raw cider vinegar and olive oil with a spoon of mustard (‘French’s mustard’ is one of the few with no added sugar, I use this or ‘Grey Poupon dijon mustard’).
Note: Organically grown vegetables are preferable. Meat, eggs, and yogurt should be from animal sources not injected or fed with antibiotics, hormones or steroids, nor fed silo-stored grains, as a result Venison is a good meat to use as it is rarely anything but wild and grass fed.
