Geez...I don't think I can live up to, or claim the "expert" status! GaGa...you are too much Actually, there are similarities to the 2 diets, but the Atkin's is much more restrictive. With the antifungal diet GaGa eluded to, you can pretty well eat all veggies except mushrooms (a fungus), potatoes and corn (a grain), fruits that are OK are berries, green apples, lemons, limes, fresh coconut, avocados...dairy such as plain organic whole fat yogurt, butter, and sparingly, real whipped cream, sour cream...all meats (except breaded)are allowed, such as poultry, fish, beef, NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS (that's different from the Atkin's, too)use Stevia (an herb)instead, if needed. Eggs are allowed, olive oil, raw nuts (no peanuts/pistachios..they commonly contain mold/fungus...another Atkin's difference). Absolutely no grains, processed sugar, yeast foods, alcohol, at least for the first while until you heal your gut.
knowthecause.com website pretty well lays it all out, and the science behind it. Look under the FAQ section.
Are you thinking you have a fungal problem? Have you ever taken antibiotics/birth control pills before?
I also took natural antifungals and still take probiotics, which I highly recommend.
