I'm starting the Paleo diet next week. [View all]

In the past, I've done Atkins, with great success. I lost weight quickly, my cholesterol numbers got really good, really fast, but I hated not having fruit. After a few months, I found it really hard to adhere to. A few friends have started Paleo, and they seem to be doing really well. So I'm giving it a try - I'm not gonna be a fanatic about it, but I'm gonna give it my best shot. My main objective is weaning myself off grains and sugar. But I might have a cheat day once in awhile where I have toast with breakfast.

I'm curious about other people's experiences with this, and would appreciate any tips, advice, etc.
