Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil can be bought online too! I forgot to mention that! That's what brand I use! Look it up and I'm sure you'll find it.

PMG is Standard Process' Protomorphogen extract, they call it PMG for short, it was part of the Ovatrophin too.
Fermented Cod Liver Oil is better than regular Cod Liver Oil because fermented foods are proven to help with metabolism, hormone production, increase synthesis of certain B vitamins and other nutrients, and increase their uptake by balancing the gut flora. The Omega-3s in the Cod Liver Oil help the brain, muscles, heart, etc. too.
Modified Atkins Diet is a high fat, low-carb, high fiber diet. Grass-fed butter, coconut oil, bacon, eggs, cheese, grass-fed meats are best for you. I eat a 2 egg omelette every morning. I usually use coconut oil to cook it in. We ran out recently, so I have been using butter. I mix heavy whipping cream-try to get organic as it's better than regular because otherwise you get the antibiotic-fed cows and you don't want extra hormones in things you put in your body-into my cage-free eggs(if you can't get farm fresh the best kind are Eggland's Best Cage-free or Organic), crumble bacon(I like Oscar Meyer Selects best) into the eggs after putting the eggs in the pan off the heat, sprinkle your favorite shredded cheese(organic is best, but Sargento is ok if not available), crumble kale, or place organic spinach on top(I poke the spinach down into the eggs), then put favorite flavor soft cheese or cream cheese(I use mostly Garlic and herb Alouette or Boursin, but I've used Philadelphia Garlic Cooking Cream and regular cream cheese too, doesn't work as well.
I make smoothies in the evening. I make them from kale/spinach, natural high-fat cocoa powder(you can get this at Penzey's spice shop,or Hershey's makes an unsweetened cocoa) or can use cacao nibs, Silk or Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Coconut milk(these are my favorite brands), ice(or use frozen fruit or sugar-free chocolate ice cream, instead of cocoa-use more fiber if you choose the sugar-free ice cream), berry blend(raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries-frozen or fresh are the least carb fruits), hemp or whey protein powder, and a mix like Power of 3 Goji Coconut, Spectrum Chia and Flax seed with coconut and cocoa. Almond butter, or other nut butter(not peanut butter, unless it is organic or natural)-you can just put nuts in; but make sure they aren't salted.This is what I put in mine, but you can mix it up as you want. I have used mint cocoa Blue Diamond Almonds, when I didn't have a lot of nut butter living on my own or it needed more cocoa flavor.It all tasted great together.

No problem, as I said the PMG just comes part of certain Standard Process brand whole food supplements(Ovatrophin PMG, Neurotrophin PMG, and some others too that I don't know of). I buy the Standard Process products through my aunt, but they sell them through their website too.They are mostly sold through Health Care Professionals, my aunt is a chiropractor and is board certified in Nutrition. It's actually a product made in Wisconsin- the state I'm from, and have lived all my life. I grew up on so many different doctors that it's become so easy for me to understand when I hear new developments in healthcare and my aunt mentions things about different things. I went through school for 3 different fields of healthcare too(nursing, Human Services-counseling, and Medical billing and coding), but unfortunately I haven't graduated yet. If you want information about Standard Process you can go to www.standardprocess.com . Glad I was able to help you out! 😊
