Jonas,

You have already answered your own question.
Your mother is doing better than before, even though she is eating a
mixed diet.  If you are interested in doing the diet, why dont you try
a month of mixed diet
alternationg with a month of pure paleo....

I cheat regularly.  I think that it is important not
to become uptight and neurotic about eating "right" all the time.  When
I am at home, I eat paleo.  When I go out with friends to a restaurant,
I usually cheat....I am not above having a glass of fine wine, a bowl
of pasta, followed-up by a desert.
