I have been on the paleo diet for the past 3 weeks - my aim was to improve energy and mental clarity, reduce some signs of candida overgrowth (sebhorreic dermatitis, vaginal yeast, etc) and maybe shed a few #s...
I cut out nearly all processed foods but do indulge in a pretty natural salad dressing, mustard and almond butter.
I haven't really lost any weight, which is ok, but I am even more tired and foggy headed than when I started! I also thought that my abdominal distension and signs of inflammation (flat sided poop, if I can poop that is!).
Sorry to be gross, but I barely have a bowel movement with this diet and when I do, it's not optimal (small amount, fairly wet and dark).
I wouldn't say that I feel constipated, per se, but it just doesn't seem like my pipes are working.
So I came home from work today and dove into a bowl of oatbran like an addict! Is there anything to the paleo diet in your opinion? I know I've only given it 3 wks, but I feel crummy...
Thanks for doing what you do!
