Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

1

Hello everyone,

I've been paleo for about 8 months now (I don't do any dairy except butter, no sugar at all, no fruit, no nuts among other things b/c I've struggled with Candida for a while) and in the last month I put on almost 7-8 lbs, I feel sort of sluggish and I have bodyaches, I feel like I'm retaining water and my belly is bloated and I'm super hungry, but really hungry for butter, I just want to eat it plain in chunks... Also, I haven't had my period in months and I've also experienced a boost in sex drive.

On a positive note, I am stronger because I can now do things I couldn't do before, on a negative note, I don't like the way that I feel...

Any suggestions?

Thanx!

C.

I've had days like that. When no one noticed, I didn't mention it. Then, came a new day.
