After first 3 weeks Blood Work

Like I said, I'm no expert, but I think you would be hard pressed to find someone with a university degree in nutrition recommending a low carb diet to anyone. The folks who recommend the paleo diet and similar diets are not well trained in nutrition science. As far as I'm aware, people who...
