I have been 'flirting' with the paleo lifestyle for a short time. Have several medical issues (overweight, diabetic)that I think would greatly benefit from what I have read about this type of eating. So much of it makes sense to me though I must admit I find it difficult to follow. Went searching for some help and guidance and found here. Hope to help as much if not more than I get helped. 

Hi, and welcome! Paleo should certainly help. I found one of the best things about paleo was how simple it was to get going. Work out the "in" foods, and eat only those in whatever quantity suits - a diet plan doesn't get much easier than that. I did Weight Watchers for a time last year, and I did lose a bit of weight, but it was so hard by comparison! On paleo the weight fell off effortlessly, I never had to feel hungry, and I never have to weigh, measure or count anything.

The info about meds is very applicable for diabetics starting paleo.
