Anyone get there cholesterol and sugars down with a Paleo diet? [View all]

Hello all,
I know there are some doctors/nurses/health professionals here so I could use your help.

My sugars, cholesterol, and blood pressure aren't high but I could use to get them down. I could also stand to lose some weight. I've tested positive for celiac so grains are out for me. I also have an absorption issue (low stomach acids and pancreatic acids don't help much either).

That said, my new GI told me to go Paleo -- veggies, grass fed beef and organic meats, and of course exercise.

Anyone have any success on it?

Thanks

Paula
