I've been eating paleo - fairly strictly - for almost exactly six months now. Upsides - asthma better than I can remember. Weight loss good, energy improved, sleeping better and - people commenting on how well I look.

Downside is an unfortunate tendency to diarrhea. And the last few days the skin on my face has gone very dry, with wrinkles and lines forming beside and under my eyes.

I am eating abut 110 grams protein a day, plenty of animal fat (lard, meat dripping, cream, butter) fish a few times a week, lots of eggs (at least one a day) and plenty of veg, with some berries and occasional bananas. Too much wine - not paleo, I know. Total calories around 2000. I feel I must be doing (eating) something wrong - or not eating something I should.

Any advice from those of you further along the track than I am would be greatly appreciated.
