I've been following the Primal blueprint for 2 weeks.

More details about myself;
Women (32 years) Very active
SW 130lbs / Height 5.4f (previous weight 121lbs in March 2011)
CW 128.5lbs
GW 121lbs (And to avoid cheese (my down fall) and nuts as much as possible)

I haven't been eating red meat & eggs for 20 years (only fish & chicken) and started to add eggs to my diet again about 6mnths ago and the last 15 years I NO FAT in my diet like olive oil, avo & nuts....

For 4 years I maintained a ideal weight of 121lbs and felt great and had great muscle definition. Since a 1 year ago I started gaining weight, discovered I had a underative thyroid (low T3) and got medication Diotroxin but didn't feel much better since using it and gained 9lbs. Had another blood test 3 mnths ago and Thyroid seems normal but my testosterone levels are very low for a women my age and my brain hormone also low.

Results so far;
Energy bunny & feeling great
Less cravings
Less water retension
Softer skin
Less IBS (if I avoid nuts)
AND AND AND much more...

I been wheat & soda free for two weeks, but still enjoy my diary and my red wine.

Fat - 47.8%
