I am not a doctor, nurse, dietitian, nutritionist, biologist, anatomist, professional athlete, personal trainer, exercise physiologist, nor anything else of the sort. (“Dammit, Jim, I’m an engineer, not a doctor!”) The fact that I write about my thoughts and experiences regarding exercise and nutrition should in no way be construed as any form of advice or instruction.
I encourage you to educate yourself: do your own research, talk to your own doctor, read labels on food products…
