Well, yes and no. I've about come to the conclusion that my body might be
pretty adept at gluconeogenesis.

That was pretty much my experience for the first 9 months of eating paleo
(though I've been low-carb since 2000). I never lost any weight on paleo,
but I never gained any either. I never tracked calories in detail, but gave
some thought (and occasional measurement to it) and many times found I was
consuming nearly 3,000 calories a day on paleo. Everything changed
(what?!!) in Feb. Since then I've gained X (I'll never tell!) pounds.
Right in the middle. Yech.

Agreed, but for me calories do seem to matter now more than ever,
irrespective of carbs. Sigh.
