As a registered dietitian, I would never recommend a 0 carb diet. White bread is another thing. I rarely ever eat processed carbs, like white flour products and sugar, and I also avoid processed oils, like canola, palm, safflower, etc. We humans were meant to get most of our energy from carbohydrates like legumes and starchy vegetables and other whole vegetables and fruits. I don't eat many grains, but I do eat oats every day. If all you are eating is meat, eggs, and butter, you are definitely not eating an anti-inflammatory diet. Most anti-inflammatory foods are vegetables and fruits, such as leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and berries. Other anti-inflammatory foods include avocados, extra virgin olive oil (unheated), citrus, and many nuts and seeds. You never see meat and dairy on a list of anti-inflammatory foods--they are usually listed as pro-inflammatory due to their lack of fiber and nutrient density. I had PMR for about a year and have been in remission for over a year now. I also take tumeric and omega-3 supplements daily. Good luck to you.
