Edith-
I think you are right on with the basics of the paleo diet.  (on a side note
 I recently recomended to some friends who have a 15yr. old diabetic cat who
was having ever worsening health problems to start feeding the cat chicken
livers, wheatGRASS and to supplement with alpha lipoic acid.  Their vet said
the cat no longer "appears" to be diabetic.)  I think a key of paleo eating
is consuming what is local and in season.  during the spring and summer
fresh fruits will natuarally play a larger role in your eating.  Fall and
winter will shift towards more protein and fat with plenty of greens, nuts,
seeds and moderate root vegetables.  A few things to consider when adressing
your bone moneral density 1) Magnesium plays a vital role.  Find a copy of
Protein power life plan for more specifics.  2) strenious exercise WILL
build strong bones (another book Strong women strong bones...I forget the
author...and her concepts are good but i feel her exercise recomendations
are far to conservative. 3) Adequate calcium is an easy thing on a paleo
diet.  1/4 cup of almonds has 700mg.  Seasamie seeds even better.  When you
cook chicken cook the bones with onions and a dash of vinegar...you are
making and aqueous extract of highly assimilable calcium...soup!!
Hope this helps.
