I was eating Paleo for a few weeks in an attempt to lose weight because it worked for a friend but it just didn't cause weight loss for me.

Thanks for your reply! I agree food is part of the fun... For me it's just keeping myself from over-indulging. Hard to do, but I know it's possible. You are so right about the "have to try everything" mentality at buffets. Have fun on your vacation in March!
