You may enjoy chicken livers twice a week if desired but no larger then two-ounce portions because of their high uric acid content. ROASTED, BROILED, BOLIED,BAKED OR STEAMED IS FINE. DON’T EAT ANY SMOKED, SALTED OR PICKLED POULTRY WHILE ON YOUR PROTEIN PLUS DIET. FISH - Fish is one of the very best foods you can eat on your…
