I quit 2 years ago so it was not a problem.

Say you had the typical American diet on one end, and Paleo on the other, and you were 80% of the way to Paleo. You eat quadruple the meat and a third of the grain carbs of typical Americans, and usually minimal added sugar. No soy, no vegetable oils.
Would you notice a huge change in going 100% Paleo? Because I'm at that 80% right now, and don't do the prep needed to stay 100% paleo.

As for experience, I have been on it for a year. Major notice: my acne is almost completely gone, although that was directly attributed to dairy (if I eat cheese, I break out mad the next day). Ditching dairy also cleared up my chronic congestiveness. Experiment with that though because some people can handle it fine.

I know the idea behind not eating dairy is that humans haven't evolved into it because cows haven't been domesticated for that long (relatively) But usually people who have lactose issues can drink goat milk, how does that work into the Paleo scheme? Can I enjoy my chevre still?

Can't answer that for you, but I'll add that I switched 100% to Almond milk some time ago and haven't looked back. Almond milk is infinitely better than dairy milk and leaves me with none of the issues dairy did. Highly recommended.

Had anyone on this board successfully bulked on the paleo diet? I figure eating paleo there will be sufficient protein, and by taking in an excess of calories it should be fine. Anyone have experience with it?
