Hi Judee - I am new to the Paleo diet and would like to ask for menu suggestions.  Also how many grams of protein should a 48 yr. old female eat each day.  Do any of you have any suggestions of sites to help educate me on this new way of eating.  Thanks for all the help.  Nancy

If that's the case then it might be an eletrolyte situation with you.  An imbalance of salt, potassium, calcium, magnesium can send bp up.  Stress will do it, inflammation will do it, ie, dental, etc.  Paleo isn't necessarily a low carb way of eating. I eat a lot of carbs in veggies and berries.   JMHO....   Oliva
