In the June issue of SELF magazine, Pop music and reality TV star Jessica Simpson reveals that she has waged a body-image battle for some time, but that the low-carb lifestyle was definitely not the right path for her.

“Atkins really messed me up mentally,” Simpson told SELF. “I was so starved for carbs, I binged on them.” She now eats her favorite foods–bread, cookie-dough ice cream and Italian meals–in moderation, along with lots of salad.
