I agree with Thomas - you need more time and more fat. Fat is not the
enemy. Try to get more omega-3 fats.
I am not a big fish eater so I take a tablespoon of cod liver oil 6 days a
week along with eating a mostly paleo diet. I have lost a total of 77
pounds, and most of my symptoms from systemic lupus have disappeared. They
do return if I have a major cheat - which happens less and less as time goes
by. I also eat all the fat on any meat I eat, and I eat quite a bit of meat
- mainly I eat meat and vegetables, some fruit and nuts, a smidgeon of
dairy. My blood work numbers are great.
Because I was not expecting such a tremendous improvement in my lupus
symptoms I did not pay attention to when they exactly stopped - but it was
months and not weeks. Gradually I became aware of how great I was feeling.
One thing for sure - I will never go back to any other way of eating like
standard modern civilization food!!!

Just like to say that it took about six months for me to lose the old knee
pain I had from long before.
Sounds like you are trying a low fat version of paleo. For myself I find
that more fat is better in terms of general health and good feeling.
