I cannot possibly imagine it being an unhealthy diet because it consists of all the foods that humans have been eating for thousands of years. Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, berries, nuts, yogurt, olive oil, even beer, wine and whole-grain bread from time to time. On the other hand, all the foods I gave up were only created over the past century. I'm talking all the hydrogenated vegetable oils and the high fructose corn syrups and all those other artificial flavors and additives that are thrown into our (processed) food these days.

Boy, I'm agreeing with this more and more each day. Every day I don't eat processed food, the better I feel. Even those chocolate peanut butter Atkins bars that taste good affected me. I'm done experimenting: I now know what works and what doesn't, and one of the things that also doesn't work for me is the processed low-carb foods. I even found the organic Stonyfield Farm yogurt at our Walmart here which just tickles me. No chemicals or additives.

And I wondered why I was so sickly for so long. Garbage in, garbage out. When I reduce the amount of carbs and processed foods I take in, my nerves hurt less, my eye sight clears up, my joints and muscles get stronger, no sugar spikes or crashes, better circulation (improvement with lymphedema) and warmer feet, better sleep, stronger bladder (avoiding surgery), and on and on. I'm positive that I'm dodging that Diabetes bullet.

Mmmm Mmmmm! My wife and I LOVE it. Especially the fat that layers on top of the full fat version. Yummy!

Do some reading on Vitamin D and the symptoms you describe. But be sure to get your Vitamin D from Cod Liver Oil mainly. Go to Mercola.com and do a search. Also Google.com keywords vitamin D and one of your symptoms

I eat Stonyfield Farms yogurt too, every morning as part of my breakfast. All natural and with plenty of live cultures that are so good for you. It does have sugar but it's the natural kind, not that corn-syrupy or refined stuff. It definitely sates my sweet tooth. Because I have cut out all other sweets, a cup of blueberry yogurt tastes to me like cheesecake and blueberry pie.

BTW, when I added yogurt to my daily breakfast, my problems with constipation were gone within a week and never returned.
