Hello Hellistile!
Glad that you dropped in! Welcome!
As far as what to eat. You can eat animals and eggs as much as you want. You should make sure to get plenty of animal fat too! Don't worry about cholesterol or saturated fat. These foods are very good for you. Eat game meat and wild meat (bison, elk, deer, wild salmon, free-range chickens and eggs) whenever possible... much better ratio of omega fats. You can eat veggies... this does not include green beans (which are legumes), corn (which is grain), potatoes, yams, turnips (starchy veggies). You can eat fruit in very small quantities (but you should avoid the high sugar fruits, or avoid fruit all together). You can eat nuts and seeds (although in moderation is best... the omega-6 fats in these end up giving you even more of something most people have way too much of). Walnuts and macadamias are the best balanced. Of course, no dairy, grains, legumes, sugar, starch (potatoes). Try to keep your carbs under 72 grams a day (or less if you are overweight). BUT, because of your age and medical conditions, you may need to move into this way of eating a bit slower than others. Consult your health care provider!
And, always drink lots and lots of water!
And check out the other threads in the paleo / neaderthin section of this forum. Good luck, and great to have you on-board!
