I was wondering how long it takes to notice beneficial effects of cutting out grains, dairy,
legumes and basically everything non-paleo.

I tried cutting out dairy for a week and I noticed nothing.  I do notice (psychological?) a
slight
dependence type thing from eating grains, but I still do anyway, just not very much.  When
I have gone for several days without eating refined carbs I don't notice any real change in a
"craving", and no noticable benefits either.

I understand when someone has asthma, or another medical problem, cuts out something, and can
easily see the benefits.  But what about someone with no weight problem, excellent health (no
allergies or obvious medical problems, blood chemistry very good)?  How long would it take to
notice any benefits from going full paleo, what would I look for, and how long would the
improvements take to notice?

Thanks.
