Personally, I tried Paleo (and Paleo for athletes) and found I couldn't do it for very long. I know there's the 2-3 week energy dip right at the start, after which people say they feel great, but I myself could *never* get through that initiation. My cycling really suffered. Eating out was always a challenge -- whee, salad *again*.

I now think of myself as "Neolithic" - grains and rice in moderation, beans and oats are ok in my book. Taking a page from Michael Pollan's philosophy, all simple and real ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, if I want a junk food, I gotta make it myself from scratch and not a box-mix. But still, mostly fruits and veg that are in season, and small portions of the best meat I can afford.

Also, I brew my own beer, so, you know...

-- gnat! (I mean, seriously, what's bad about oatmeal?)
