Paleo vegetarian - how to make it work

Help, just been told by a Dr to switch to a paleo diet to reduce inflammation. Have a serious illness that required steroids, so have gained a stone and a bit and am at the top of normal/border of overweight.

Can the paleo diet work as a vegetarian?

I don't understand why pulses are not included. Most seem like they are a good source of protein and anti-inflammatory.

Completely cutting daisy also feels wrong. Will cut down a lot though.

Out does brown rice and wholemeal pasta. My diet really isn't bad and I eat small portions/am not snacking. Hoping the weight will go as I cut down the steroids.

I intend to switch to primarily paleo (at least three quarters of the plate), plus at least one meal a day that is pure paleo. Just a bit worried about excluding so many food groups.

OP - I'd start looking up Whole 30. I've never done it myself but I believe it's very close to a paleo diet - there are quite a few books and cook books and I believe there's a Reddit board. I looked into it a few years ago but it was too restrictive for me.

I THINK they have brought out a new vegetarian version of the plan but not certain about that.
