I've found that by not eating fruit over winter my diet naturally  
becomes low-carb.  I still eat parsnips and carrots, but I haven't  
got enough of an appetite for them to over-eat, which is very easy to  
do with fruit.

Apparently this is a Your Mileage May Vary issue.  Personally, I  
could eat roast pork belly/leg with the odd roast parsnip/carrot/ 
cauliflower every day for the rest of my life and not get bored.   
Well... I imagine I might change my mind after a few years, but  
eating non-paleo I would get bored of a food I had two nights in a  
row.  These days, a food tastes just as good as it did the night  
before, although maybe not eating in the day helps.

I agree on the liking vegetables more though.  I've found that since  
switching to paleo I can eat damn near anything - stuff I wouldn't  
touch before.  Although I still can't put a brussel sprout anywhere  
near my mouth.  I put this down to my body being less stressed from  
not dealing with the garbage I used to shovel down my neck, so it can  
digest veg more easily.  Don't know if this is true or not though.
