PS - Eating grains causes me to have that stopped-up feeling, when I eat less grains and more vegetables and potatoes my system works more systematically and efficiently. For me, maybe not for you, but for me.
PSS - Paleo, I did it for 6 months and lost weight and felt okay but never great. The thing I did notice was if I ate less meat and more vegetables and followed gluten-free I felt better but not great. All that experimenting helped me be in the place where I was ready to accept what Dr. McDougall shared in
The Starch Solution. Basing my diet on meat protein just did not work. I wonder if people feel better eating this way at first because their diets were so bad to begin with? 10 pounds of junk a day reduced to 6 pounds of junk will have some benefits, right?
I too, want to be a good example for this lifestyle and way of eating. I hope you find soon that tweak for this WOE that will put you in the place you want to be.
