My chiro convinced me to give up sugar & carbs (for the most part).
Not only am I losing weight, but some of the back pain is gone too. He explained it that because I was eating so much (I was living off of bread/pasta & candy) my digestion system couldn't handle it so they (carbs/sugar) were attacking my muscles.
I thought it was a LOAD until I tried it for two weeks. I could feel a difference.
Yesterday was a bad day, and I ended up eating half a package of cookie dough. I could feel it in my tummy and my back by the time I woke up this morning...
