thats why i think you really should choose one diet and stick to it. the makers diet is a very comprehensive approach, it works for many. but there are other diets that are great also. just do some research, and find one particular dietary philosophy that resonates with you, and then try that approach out whole heartedly. and then be sensitive to your body and listen to what it tells you.
trying to create a good diet from the ground up can be daunting, enlist the help of a professional and take their advice.
