I'm curious. What foods (if you don't mind me asking) did you find had such a powerful effect?
I expanded upon it here.
What has helped me the most, by far, is cutting out soy, dairy, and all processed foods (there are some processed foods I feel fine eating, but the analysis to figure out which ones proved too costly for the small benefit of being able to occasionally eat unhealthy foods).
We've had these for a year, I'm sure we all know what to do by now.
