Hi Greg and All,

I have phoned with Greg this morning, but so that you can all benefit
from the questions here my answers:
1. 55g Oatmeal is before adding the water.
2. You can add balsamico vinegar to your meals/salad. After 2 weeks
everybody can add little drops of good oil even if you are still in
phase 2.
4. The rule is 5 hours minimum. So 5,5 hours is fine.

Best Wishes and keep going
Pema
