Kat all the good food you want but don't overload the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need a good digestant like Kodol, which digests your food without th# stomach's aid. This rest, and the wlVdesonie tonics Kodol contains Boon rostore health. Dieting unnecessary.
