No nightshades, eggs, kale, broccoli,cauliflower, cabbage and many other goitrogens in my diet for 6months. Peggy, I do not believe goitrogens to be a problem, after looking at the research Sarah Ballantyne (The Paleo Mom) has done. I very much want to start this diet but am concerned since I am so underweight. My husband and I are discussing whether or not bacon is a food to include.

One thing I have learned over the years-children if offered healthy choices, will choose correctly. Eggs have never been a problem, however I can eat almonds, but no other nut it seems. but it seems the further into this I research the more foods I previously thought as healthy within the paleo paradigm may be suspect.
