Has anyone ever looked into this? I can't eat gluten and I have some issues with dairy, so I am always looking for things I can eat that are more wholesome. This guy blogs about his "Primal" lifestyle of eating things as close to natural as possible, but also not eating grains or unnaturally occurring sugars.

Any thoughts? I know that people really push the idea of whole grains, but I just can't eat a lot of grains, they make me bloated and give me all sorts of stomach problems!

I've done it, I didn't last too long, but the month or so I did last I felt fantastic. Dropped weight quickly initially. I advise against raisins to fill the sugar void, they are evil incarnate, very high in calories.

If grains give you stomach problems I'd say to go for it.

The only thing I didn't like about it was my acne became much worse, but I'm a teenager, so it happens.
