After talking with a co-worker about my intolerance for gluten and my son's apparent intolerance for lactose, she shared with me her family's way of eating...the Paleo Diet. I'm on my second day, and looking for support! Is anyone else on the Paleo Diet?

In short, it cuts out all processed foods, sugars, legumes, grains and dairy. The emphasis is getting back to the way our bodies are designed to eat, and the way we fed ourselves as "hunters and gatherers." Fresh vegetables, some fresh fruits, meats, and nuts. In many ways, it reminds me of Atkins, but I don't recall Atkins being so picky about preservatives, chemicals, etc.

I would love to chat with other Paleo dieters!!

There are several paleo dieters over at the Carb Counters forum, though it tends to be kind of slow over there. I'm paleo and also doing intermittent fasting.

ETA: Here's the general paleo/primal support thread, though like I said, it is slow-moving. Perhaps you can breathe some life into it! I find I feel best on paleo, personally, and I'm losing weight faster than I ever did with calorie counting, which is a nice bonus.

That's what everyone I've seen posting on other forums, etc...says. I'm all for losing weight faster, but I'm even MORE for not having that gut wrenching pain from eating gluten! I'm interested to see if taking the PhenObestin helps move the weight loss along, too. I can't find anyone combining the two.
