I went back to low carbing because a friend told me she had pain relief from carpal tunnel syndrome by following low carb. I have heel spurs and thought if it helped her, maybe it would help me. I had done low carb before, lost 50 lbs, but went back to the 'siren' of carbs and gained it back.

I joined TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) (www.tops.org) a few months ago following a low fat high carb, and lost weight at the beginning but started to gain it back, no matter what I did.

So the pain in my heels has gone from a 10 on 1-10 scale with 10 the highest to a 2 or three.
