Ahk,
First off, I am sorry that you have been sick and hope that you are able to figure out what's going on and get things fixed. You're in my prayers and thoughts.
Although I am certainly no Dr., if the problem is cardiological in nature, I would back away from the red meats and incorporate more fish and free range poultry, along with lots of vegetables of all colors and varieties if I were standing in your shoes.
The past few months I have fallen off the wagon, and haven't been eating as healthy as I would like to and a big part of that is I stopped juicing due to temporary insanity. But I am getting back on that wagon, and will get the juicer going again here in the next couple of days. I have to find a minute to get to the produce stand first.
I will pm you some sites that have healthy Mediterranean recipes. I think that is the better way to do it, since this is the Paleo thread.
In answer to your other questions, I eat legumes, bread and grains in moderation. Usually the grains I consume are things like polenta, quinoa and wild rice. Oats, 100% wheat and that sort thing are a very rare thing in my house. I still use coconut flour and other nut flours. I use Evo and coconut oil.
Really the main thing that has changed is I swapped out the red meats for fish, shellfish and poultry, I've tripled my intake of veggies and added fruits and some grains back in.
95% of my juicing is veggies, and I generally drink 2 glasses a day, 1 about an hour before breakfast, and the other usually between lunch and dinner. I eat an apple most evenings. The rest of the time I drink water or unsweetened tea.
You should start a Med thread.
I have a bunch of recipes.
Be well.

My question-- do you eat a lot of legumes? bread? grains? Eating paleo for 2 years or so -- really gets you. But I think I gained too much weight as well -- so not good.
Could you give me an example of what you eat in a day? Thank you. Plus, any good websites for recipes? I just can't find what I'm searching for.
Thanks again.
