In responding to the poll I said I had tried the Atkins diet but it did not work for me. It may have worked eventually if I had stayed with it, but I do not remember ever feeling worse than when I was on that diet. For the few weeks that I tried to follow the eating suggestions I was constipated and just felt ill. I feel so much better with variety in my diet. I cook more at home and have a pretty good record for eliminating processed foods.

So interesting, Nancy!! We 100% agree with you on a varied diet being the best option for most people.
