Have you tried a higher ratio of vegetables to meat, particularly green 
vegetables? The less nomadic HG's ate, on average, a higher ratio of 
vegetables to meat. They also were more less active, presumably. Maybe 
this is how we are attuned. Averages still allow for significant 
individual variations, of course.

And, what about strictly or mostly raw food for a period of time or for 
parts of the week? I've eaten only raw food for up to three months at a 
time. The only "meat" I ate was sushi.  I loved the food, enjoyed it 
more than on any other diet, but eventually felt run down. So, now I eat 
"towards" paleo as much as I can and eat plenty of raw food. Full 
benefits from a raw food diet are achieved with the help of non-paleo 
things such as high speed blenders, but just raw food and a lot of 
chewing is still good. The raw foodists are big on green vegetables.

Just some thoughts, Susan. And, wishing you good health.
