A thought that comes to mind is is there any demand or could it be 
created for a Paleo retreat for one or more weeks where only Paleo 
options were on the menu?  Random regular exercise including hikes, 
swimming, basking in the sun <grin> and only paleo food.  Cravings for 
non-paleo food couldn't be satisfied and one could get past the cravings.

The Life Extension Foundations has started an annual cruse but it's much 
more educational than diet oriented.
