I was told by my doctor a few years ago to cut back on carbs. I went the paleo way without even knowing it. I had never heard of it until this last year. I started eating meats, vegetables, and fruits. I felt so much better and I'd lost a lot of weight. A couple years ago I became concerned that I wasn't eating grains and things and added them in. I'm up 42 pounds since then. Today I'm started the meats/vegetables/fruits way of eating again, no matter what publications tell me otherwise.
