Hello, my name is Joan. I've been on the Paleodiet for 2 months. I need a low-carb diet for hyperinsulinemia, but because of allergies to things like dairy, it ends up being pretty much paleo. I would like to know 2 things: 1)Has anybody had problems with their blood pressure going UP on this diet? This has happened to me, after 6 weeks of being on the diet. I've recently had a lipid profile done but haven't gotten the results yet. I've never had a problem with either blood pressure or cholesterol. 2) Has anyone had a medically-confirmed improvement in bone density on this diet? I have bad osteoporosis and am concerned about the large amounts of protein I'm eating. I know what the theory says, but I'd like to hear from people's personal experience. Binnie, I've read your posts and that's great, but I'm in a different situation, having had several bone density tests and having osteoporosis before going on the diet. Thanks, it's really interesting to be on this list and I enjoy getting the posts. Joan
