When I decided to commit to DB I went the "clean" concept. We have done/tried paleo and I am glad that it works for you - I am afraid for multiple reasons grains will always be a part of my life. My husband is a multi time ironman competitor and paleo worked for him during that period of time as well. But, I appreciate your post and thoughtfulness .................... and that ice cube idea is a great one, isn't it? Works for lots of things:)
