Well since you should not be eating carbs (I guess you mean modern
starches) you can't blame your body for getting confused ;o)


This is why I like paleo, and why it is the best fad diet of all: it
requires no willpower beyond eating only allowed foods.  Other diets
(eg Atkins) allow bad foods in moderation- eg one slice of bread a
day is acceptable on Atkins.  But most people on Atkins are self-
deceiving, and convince themselves that 4 slices of bread now and
again (daily) is acceptable.
