I am fairly new to the list but I had a question.  What would signal
carbohydrate consumption being too low?  I eat a Paleo diet and gave birth to my
son last year.  My midwife was new to the Paleo diet (and I do not think ever
fully understood it).  I was in ketosis the last few months of my pregnancy and
I ate plenty of Paleo fruits and vegetables.  I did not see this as a problem as
I talked to Ray Audette and his wife was the same.  We both accessed that many
hunter-gatherer moms had given birth on a Paleo diet.  So why would you think it
would be necessary to add grains, such as rice?
