3. The nutritional information provided in this Site is approximate. It can vary depending on the exact ingredients/quantities used and may contain inaccuracies. It is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy of all nutritional facts posted here, especially if you have a specific medical condition, in which case you should also consult with your healthcare professional before using any of the recipes.

4. Please always go to the actual recipe on the Site. Don’t try to make this Site’s recipe based on information from other sources. For example, Pinterest may display the list of ingredients and the time to make the recipe. But that is the TOTAL time, including preparation and rest time, not just the cooking time.

5. Recipes may include links to recommended products. It is your responsibility to verify that those products are appropriate for your particular needs. For example, while most recipes on the Site are gluten-free, linked products are not necessarily gluten-free. You will have to verify yourself that any products you use in our recipes, including products that we recommend and link to, are gluten-free.

If you have specific medical concerns, please consult with your doctor or with a nutritionist prior to using the recipes posted here.

7. The Site is currently labeled as featuring recipes that are low carb, gluten-free and paleo. However, many recipes do not qualify as all three. So, for example, some recipes are low carb but not gluten-free. Some recipes are gluten-free but not paleo, etc.  Please check each recipe carefully to verify it is compatible with your nutritional needs, and calculate your own nutritional information before preparing it.

8. When using low carb sweeteners, the Author calculates their carbs as zero, because for many people they have zero or minimal impact on blood sugar. However, you should always test for yourself and make sure that a particular recipe does not negatively impact your blood sugar.

9. The information provided on this Site is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified medical professional. Please inform your physician of changes you make to your lifestyle or diet and discuss these with him or her. For specific questions or concerns about medical conditions that you may have, please contact your doctor.

10. Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. It’s your choice whether to prepare recipes such as soft-boiled eggs or medium-rare steak (among others), but please realize that there is risk involved.
