I'm new to the paleo list. I am considering the paleo diet. Currently = I do not eat any gluten, soy or dairy. I am a 43 year old suburban = housewide, and do a moderate amount of exercise (off road biking, = swimming & running). =20 I'm wondering if I can get enough "fuel" from the paleo diet to continue = my current (moderate) physical activity level if I have to give up all = the rice I eat? Also, doesn't meat and nuts have a lot of fat? = Wouldn't I have to increase my exercise level from the moderate to the = extreme level in order to burn off all the fat from the meat and = nuts--otherwise wouldn't I gain weight? Also, due to a former case of systemic candida, I haven't found any nuts = that I can still tolerate? Maybe paleo diet would be too difficult if I = only ate meat and veggies? Also, I love being dairy free--that's by = choice, not by necessity. I I seem to breath easier without the dairy. Please, comments welcome............... Jennifer
