Answers:
Here's a guideline for you!.

Recommended foods are:
Raw fruits
Vegetables rich in phytonutrients

One very important element is missing from many low carb diets, and that is exercise!. Exercise is all-important in maintaining health and fitness, whether you’re overweight or not!. If you incorporate this element into your diet plan, your overall health will show improvement!. If you have a pre-existing condition, please consult with your doctor for the best diet plan that meets your medical treatment goal!.
