  1. I started the Paleo diet today and by 11 a.m. had a pounding headache. I stopped drinking coffee a couple of weeks ago so it's not caffeine withdrawal. Any comment or suggestions?
    Thanks.

  2. For someone who has had myopia since late teens (also suffered very bad acne & can link the two together as coming from having a very high sugar intake) & who has recently gone Paleo, what are the chances of the myopia improving? I've noticed a shift in my eyesight. I wear contact lenses all the time & feel like I need weaker contacts rather than stronger ones (currently -2.25). Is there any possible mechanism by which I would experience an improvement?
