I agree with the need for balancing diet with exercise. Even on a high-carb
diet, I was able to lessen the effects with regular exercise. I find that a
sedentary lifestyle slows one's metabolism and "backs up" everything. I
liked the comment I saw somewhere on the Paleo Web site (or maybe it was on
this list, can't remember) about imitating "paleo" exercise by doing a lot
of walking carrying heavy objects. I have gotten into racewalking with
weights, which follows that idea, and find it very (physically) rewarding.
Now if I could just stop eating junk food...
