I also have Ray Audette's Neanderthin as well as the Paleolithic Prescription. I'll write more in my next entry about what I'm doing, but except for the dairy, it's basically paleo. Because of the gluten intolerance thing, I don't eat much grain anyway, so that's not a big deal for me. I eat almost no legumes either. Once in a while I eat mexican food, and I usually eat corn and beans, but that's so infrequent that it's kind of a cheat meal. I haven't eaten soy since last June, and I'm in to mood to add that back to my diet. I'm definitely changing the way I eat dairy. I'll have more about that in my next entry. I took a blood glucose reading 1 hour after I finished my glass of wine - it was 73. I could hardly believe it, but I'm happy to see it! I’m familiar with Cordain’s book.

Checked "The Paleo Diet" out of the library awhile back and after two weeks on it have lost almost 9lb. More convinced than ever that dairy and grains along with dairy- and grain-based foods, and sugar, of course, were my nemeses. That includes a coupla cheat days, which are OK but not encouraged. It's also super-easy to follow. If it came from a cow's udder, or a grain, or it didn't come out of the ground/tree/vine/varmint that way, don't eat it. Sure there's more to it but if you only do that, you'll be better off. But I sure miss good cheese... oh well, I'm more tired of being fat than I miss cheese, and I'm aware that this is a "lifestyle" rather than a diet. I think I can deal, but again it's only been two weeks. Oh let us know about the blood sugar reading after the wine. I'm a bit... partial to the grape.
