> The paleo diet is, I think, 99% bullshit

Would you mind expanding on which parts you find to be bullshit? I can't find any reasons in your current post.

> I don't buy the logic behind exclusion of beans

The logic behind not eating legumes (and dairy) is the same as the logic behind not eating grains: the adult human digestive tract is not capable of fully digesting these (e.g. the protein lectin in grains), causing gut irritation and ultimately causing autoimmunity and inflammation.

> When I've lost enough I think I'll reintroduce grains

Absolutely do! Only then is any nutritional experiment, Paleo or otherwise, complete. I would wager you will feel worse after reintroducing grains, but I would love to hear your results first hand.
