I would add, remove wheat and most other grains -- but especitally wheat -- from your diet. Personal results include a loss of 25 pounds, effortlessly. No hunger, more energy.

Here's some background on the theory behind that:

I've been doing the paleo diet for a while and I can echo the energy level increase is great!

Agreed. While eating less can help, its more about what you are eating.

Eat real food (meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds). Stop eating processed food. Cut out the grains and possibly dairy.

If you do this (exercise is good too), you will lose weight and not have to worry about how much you are eating.

There is one thing I do not like at all in the Paleo Diet: MEAT.

There are countless studies about effects of eating meat, from heart disease to cancer. What study is there about the BENEFITS of meat? This diet is a dangerous fad.

I personally prefer the Eat To Live diet: basically loads and loads of greens, veggies and fruit.

Eating slowly and eating greens are not mutually exclusive.

Correct. But the second is hugely better.

It's like someone is eating poison and you'd say: eat slower. Not a bad idea, but...
