I've been on a paleo diet for about 5 months, and yet in this short length of time I have felt some great changes in myself:
- The major perceptible difference was caused by the magnesium supplementation: my response to stressful situations is much less intense, I'm more calm. It's incredible. Really, the quality of my response to stress changed completely after I begin to supplementate with magnesium (with 260g mag/d, in 2xcaps 760g of magnesium glycinate, before and after bedtime);
- Another great difference I felt was the elimination of inflammation: I had frequent ear inflammation. Now I don't have ear inflammation anymore, it was a great improvement! I suppose the reduction in omega-6 intake (vegetable oils), increases in nutrient density and reduction of toxins are the main causes. I've supplemented EPA and DHA (fish oil) before my changes in diet.
I don't think that my diet is perfect: to me, my today's diet is a plateau in a serie of continuous improvements. I'm measuring my blood glucose and my brain function to identify other changes to make. I'll take a regular blood test any other day.
