This diet sheet did not transfer well into the post. It's supposed to have three categories starting from the left, foods allowed freely, then restrict to 2-4 servings, and then the third category, avoid.
As you can see the transfer of the text didn't come out right. If you would like me to send it to another spot on the site let me know. Laura
