Hi Robin,

I'm going through this right now, too. I played around with Paleo earlier, but 
am now finally getting serious about it.

The first three days were hell for me. I was nauseated or hungry or both 
every moment of the day. The next two days were a weekend, and I spent a 
lot of time laying in bed. By the sixth day I was feeling pretty good, and now I 
feel a lot better than I did before the change.

I didn't notice a lot of cravings, particularly for specific high-carb foods, so 
much as a desire to be satisfied in the way that eating had always satisfied 
me. I was just *hungry* with a capital H. 

It would have been worse if I had gone completely cold-turkey on the non-
paleo foods. I ate a small amount of dairy every day, in other words. This 
helped, as well as eating a bit more fruit than I was used to. I agree with the 
suggestion of eating large meals, and including lots of meat and fat. On the 
third day I treated myself to a steak and afterward felt a lot better. 

I kept hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, although in the earliest days they, or 
most any other food I was allowing myself, hardly made a dent. Also, I noticed 
that really high-fat foods made me feel a bit queasy.

Good luck!
Marianne
