    There are lots of groups here for just that...

    But that being said you are not going to get much support here for it.

    Eliminating food doesn't sit well for me. Why give up stuff we love when all we have to do is eat less of it?????

    If it seems hard... Why do it? Honestly, I've never found any plan as easy as good old fashioned calorie counting. You can eat whatever you want. You don't have to fret that something isn't on your plan.

    That said, I tested myself a couple of months ago to see if I could be satisfied without grains. I cooked some great stuff and wasn't hungry at all. But by day four I was ready for a nice bowl of pasta. I still try to eat LESS... But wow, eliminating it would make me obsess about it.

    This ^^ Check out the groups section.

    I will tell you though that many people on MFP that say they are eating Paleo don't really even seem to know what the diet entails. You might want to check out one of the books or websites as well.

    Before you jump onto Paleo, do some research. Read some books, check out a few recipes, visit some websites. Then decide if it sounds like something you'd like.

    I'd suggest heading over to some place like Mark's Daily Apple for more info.

    Thanks ya'll for all the advice, one of the main reason's is because I have stomach problems that certain foods make my issues beyond painful. my dr actually suggested the paleo diet after getting tested for certain issues. so I just haven't tried it yet. my stepmom is on it after having gastric bypass. honesty from my knowledge paleo diet is really for people who deal with stomach and digestive issues like I do. just my thoughts
