When I eat Paleo I almost have to be very careful about getting enough food.
I am naturally thin, but carry practically all my fat in my butt and hips
(my arms are sticks).  I lose about 10 lbs. on paleo and it only takes a
couple weeks (much of that I'm sure is water weight) or less for that 10
lbs. to go away.  My hunger substantially subsides on paleo, so I almost
have to make a point to eat enough food.  I used to eat a high-carb diet and
run marathons, and I still carried that 10 lbs. of butt weight and water
weight.  I, however, have the advantage of being young (27) and very
small-framed (my fingers overlap about 1" in the wrist-test), so I may not
be the norm.  I did this diet not for weight-loss, but for acne.  I never
considered myself overweight by any means whatsoever, but just thought I
naturally had a flabby butt. Losing this extra weight certainly was a nice
side-effect.

I have a question for the women - not that men can't reply but I wanted to
hear personal experiences from the female side.

What results have you seen in getting leaner in your lower body due to
eating paleo fodds, specifically thighs and buttocks? I am not overweight or
too big but feel I could be more lean, especially in my lower body. My body
fat is also higher than it used to be and I can't figure out if it's age (I
just turned 38) or if it's all still related to the health issues I had and
continue to have (hormonal and parasites, possibly something else).

If you did see results, how long did it take? Any of you have their body fat
percentage tested and if so, do you feel comfortable sharing (if not on the
list, perhaps in a personal email)?

Thanks,
Kristina
