but seriously, primal is just basic to me, when I think about what carbs, especially the refined carbs do once they are in our bodies...

I'm all about the Primal and low carb these days. Two weeks of no bread, pasta, rice, sweets (etc), and, wow, I'm loving it. Lost some weight and feel great...cravings for carbs are now at a minimum (for some reason, in the evening, I crave sweets now where I used to crave salty). Besides weight loss, my skin has improved (rosacea and breakouts), and I don't feel bloated anymore.
I always thought a carb-restricted diet would be very difficult, but I think counting calories would drive me crazy (and the research doesn't bode well for this method). After the first 3-4 days it became easier, and now it is not a lot of effort at all to avoid high carb food.
Anyway, it's protein and veggies (mainly salads) for me these days, and I hope to continue this way for awhile.
