I'm thinkin fellow lowcarber? if not I will politely bow out and forget I ever mentioned it....

Eat REAL food. I would also skip grains and starches for a while. Even whole grains can make you feel bloated and sluggish. After you have been off of them for a while, add them slowly back in and see how you feel. Many people have health problems related to wheat and soy and don't even know it.

I did not even realize how poorly wheat made me feel until I stopped eating it. The real "detox" is when you stop eating sugar in any way shape or form. I'm thinking it was easier to stop smoking (15 years now). I was in pain from that "detox".

Also remember that natural fats are your friends. Saturated fat does not cause heart disease regardless of what you may have been told. Cholesterol doesn't make your heart "asplode". Your BRAIN is mostly fat and cholesterol. Fatty acids are necessary for good health. Margarine, hydrogenated fats, canola oil, corn oil, etc.. are all highly processed garbage. Stick to REAL butter, non-hydrogenated lard, coconut oil, olive oil and other cold-pressed nut oils like sweet almond oil.

I like all the above oils with the exception of olive oil. I just can't stand that stuff... I know I know it's sooo good for you. yuck. We don't use margarine, butter only. I can pronounce all the ingredients!

Low carb and proud of it! I never did "Atkins" but just started cutting my carbs way down. Then I read "Natural Health and Weight Loss" by Barry Groves. I was already following his plan pretty closely...except for the recipes. He is British and some of their food sounds scary! LOL

The thing that taught me the most about modern diet recommendations, where they came from and where it all went so horribly horribly wrong was "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes.

Here is one of his lectures....
