The reason I like nuts is they taste good and keep me from snacking on stuff like oreos and ice cream. Have I just been fooling myself into thinking these so called 'paleo' desserts which almost all include nuts are really no better than the brownie batter blizzard I gave up for them. If so let me know cause I feel and oreo bender coming on. That said I'd also like to have you do a post at some-point of 'choose this not that' paleo style, because I can't be the only one out there who is thinking 'what do I do when I'm stuck somewhere with not a lot of good options...which is the best non preferred food to go with. You could start off with paleo cookies or oreo cookies? :) Dang it Bill your killing me with this post!

Try cutting your daily dosage in half and see how you feel. If fish oil had a positive effect during the first month of high dosage, but that effect diminishes or disappears altogether after lessening the dose, walk it back up until receiving the full benefit again. On the other hand, if you cut your dose in half and feel the same, continue cutting every few weeks until you find the amount that gives you the most bang for your buck. Make sense? In a perfect world, you would give up grains, fructose, and polyunsaturated fats which would eliminate the need for any fish oil at all. Reevaluate.

For the vitamin d, get some d-3 and take 1000 IU per 25 pounds of body weight, per day for 6 months and then get your levels checked. Want to be over 60 ng/ml, around 80 would be solid.
