I have tried LC (atkins) a number of times in the past since 03.When I followed Atkins I would feel well at first and then go into a severe flare. (not knocking Atkins it just didn't work well with my fibro. I started following Paleo Dec 12th 07 with great results.

The key for me has been Fruit.I am eating small amounts of fruit throughout the day and am virtually pain free. I had a couple of days when I was low on fruit intake and I felt tired and had cravings coming back for the wrong carbs so I am careful to make sure I eat my fruit so I can stay on plan. I have never really figured out what my fruit carb intake is but I am also losing weight and have dropped 10 pounds since Dec 12. My energy is up and I only have slight pain in my feet now. I can walk again and that is amazing. Before I was just too tired and in too much pain.

I am grain and dairy free and this is working very well for me. Debbie
