My doctor was getting ready to put me on cholesterol medication because my cholesterol was so bad... among all my other blood work tests that I failed. After three months I was retested by the same Dr... my cholesterol was in the normal range, all my lipids and other blood tests were in the normal range, and my good cholesterol had improved drastically as well. You feel 1000 times better when you're "eating clean" as they call it... like I said I lost 49 pounds... My skin improved... My neighbor actually commented that it looked like I'd been drinking from the fountain of youth. I don't follow every rule hundred percent of the time... I noticed one guys comment said that we would never eat 100% like our ancestors did... But those are not the rules to do the diet... Delete sugar wheat grains corn legumes from your diet . . . These are the things that will cause inflammation in your body. I EAT dairy occasionally but the main things that I eat CONSIST of good meats and oils, fresh vegetables, occasional fruits, and nuts & seeds. Give it a go... It is wonderful. thewhole30.comhttp://www.builtlean.com/2012/08/06/paleo-diet/

OP, why are you considering it, and what sort of guidelines are you considering? I did paleo WAY before it hit the mainstream and way before some of the foods that paleo eaters eat now were part of the various protocols. Back then? Meat, eggs, nuts, non-starchy veggies and a grudging allowance for cold-pressed olive oil. I have hormonal issues and saw online that it helps women with PCOS and other hormonal imbalances.
