Last week the doctor put me on blood pressure medicine and after 4 pills I was under 120/80.
He said my weight was just calories - and told me to keep a log of everything I eat and bring it in when I go back next week.
He suggested a DASH diet, then I started looking at the paleo deal of eating what my body is genetically designed for (basically pre-agrarian food and eating habits).
Is anyone here using this? The websites about it are persuasive but I'm looking for the whole story.

For millions of years, humans and their relatives have eaten meat, fish, fowl and the leaves, roots and fruits of many plants. One big obstacle to getting more calories from the environment is the fact that many plants are inedible. Grains, beans and potatoes are full of energy but all are inedible in the raw state as they contain many toxins. There is no doubt about that- please don’t try to eat them raw, they can make you very sick.
