kick?  we're supposed to be kicking our addictions?  (surreptitiously
stubbing out cigarette)

no.

oh sure.  'small quantities' being the key phrase.  i can do chocolate,
dairy only in the form of yogurt or buttermilk or sometimes cheese.  no
wheat or corn, though, those make me suffer for it.

> 8)  What is a typical paleo day for you?  (I'm particularly interested in
> what you all have for breakfast as I don't like eggs)

breakfast is usually leftovers from the previous night's supper, or else
eggs (sorry), but sometimes i mix blueberries with ground nuts, and it's
kind of like a porridge.

> 9)  Do you take any vitamins, supplements?

a multi, C 500, Mag 250, evening primrose capsule

> 10)  What about exercise?

lift weights 4-5 times/week.  walk the dog.

good luck Karen.
