ok- i'll keep that in mind
this must be b/c some protien is available as glucose?
so our ancestors could take better advantage of a larger kill/scavange...

i don't know. didn't try it before.
i have tried other reduced carb diets, and i did experience a pattern if
symtoms.
the reason i am starting this in the middle of breatfeeding is just that i
became so concerned! the only way i could function and not be sick durring
pregnancy was to keep eating carbs -- at all times -- even when i didn't
want them. without them i literally could not function. i gained over fifty
pounds and felt incredibly guilty for the possible effect on the baby... but
i didn't know how else to get by. (thankfully, my blood sugars were never
high.)
i marvel at the idea of people eating paleo during pregnancy, and it makes
me wonder if things may have turned out differently if i had already had the
paleo thing figured out for myself.
good health to all,
liesel
