You might be interested in looking into the PaNu approach to paleo.[1] The author of that blog puts a lot of emphasis on focusing on metabolism rather than, as he puts it, food reenactment. e.g., dairy isn't strictly paleo, but he acknowledges that it's an easy way to up fat intake without the type of ill effects that you're more likely to see from glutens.

Worth checking out anyway. It's certainly changed the way I approach nutrition, even if I haven't bought into the paleo thing wholesale.

>I think it's a blood sugar effect -- all the food I eat is low in GI so I'm not getting the blood sugar spikes I used to.

Definitely agree here. I've noticed a definite shift in appetite since I've made a point of limiting my intake of high GI foods.

Harris' blog is entertaining to read, in my mind, because he's one of the few folks writing about this stuff that doesn't have a book and/or methodology he's trying to sell you. His "getting started" page is a refreshingly pragmatic list of ideas sorted by payoff potential for the reader, rather than for him or anything he has a vested interest in.
