Hello all,
    I joined a few weeks ago, and I've enjoyed reading the emails I get of 
the posts here. I started eating more Paleo, prob about 3 weeks ago. From 
the very start, I've not had any trouble. Felt better within a few days 
actually. I really feel good when I get enough oil down lol. I use, Olive, 
Coconut, and Red Palm. Sometimes macadamia when I can find it. I will 
still use butter occasionally. Sometimes I like to claify it, so the milk 
solids are takena way, and basically what left is fat. Yummy on brussel 
sprouts lol. I still have V8, and occasionally orange juice, so I'm 
not "hard Core". I go by how I feel. I haven't lost any "weight" according 
to the scale, but my body configuration is changed. I'll be needing to get 
out the next size dowwn jeans reallty soon, cause these even with a belt, 
just ain't gettin it lol. (Wish I woulda measured early) I figure it this 
way, if someone tries to tell me I'm cutting 5, 10, or however many years 
off my life, I'de rather feel good, be very productive for a shorter span, 
than to spend 5, 10 or longer with chronic ailments that make the last 
years a painful struggle. On the flip side of the coin, what if I'm adding 
30? lol.( aagghh! better UP the 401k contributions!) I think we were 
designed to go way over 100 anyway. My major reason for eating so 
different was to cut out as much soy as possible. But they be darn sneaky 
as to where they put it in packaged foods, and how it's labeled. *Soy 
makes my joints hurt, and PMS terrible! well,,,, at least my pms before 
eating this way  :)* Something else I've noticed. Seems my skin heals much 
faster now. Anyone else notice that? Sorry to run on so. I've never left a 
post here, so please bear with me. I'm trying to get the hang of 
this.   :)     Christine
