It has revolutionized my thinking, and I have to say I am thinking so much more clearly, and I am much more focused, since going paleo. There is much research to show that our brains developed into human brains through eating very high fat diets, without any grains, and since the agricultural revolution, our brains have shrunk and diminished in capabilities. I am so glad you said not to eat bread, but I encourage you, for 30 days, to omit ALL grains and cereals, and sugars of course, increase your fats (yes, even saturated ones) and see the tremendous difference it makes. The first two weeks were hell due to withdrawal symptoms, but after that I have been flying high since, and already many life long health problems are disappearing. The added focus was a surprise, I had no idea this would happen, but after going on forums this is a very common effect for many people. Just a thought, and encouragement to you to "think outside the box" and reserve judgement until you check it out!
