Well, how did the paleo people handle this situation?

I'm fairly sure they didn't go on weight-loss diets.  And I can't believe that they
just happened to get exactly the right amount of excersize and food to keep their
figures exactly in line. I have heard that h/g's for example measured about 5-10%
bodyfat (men, I assume) pretty consistently.
