I did this and it helped my fibro pain from a 10 to a zero in 10 days along with 8 pounds gone. Eat nothing else for 4 weeks except what is on this list and then once done you can begin to introduce other foods to your diet and see how your body reacts. I personally need to stick to this list. And if you don't know...Coconut Oil for cooking is the best...no it does not taste like coconut...actually no flavor at all.

NOTE: each serving must consist of 1/3 protein, 1/3 Fat Source, 1/3 Carbohydrate Source...I have the list broken down in sections by SOURCE.
