I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and am enjoying the list very much, so thought it was time to introduce myself. I'm a 28-year old female and live in the UK. I have only been following a paleo diet for a month or so but have been low-carbing for about a year and have lost around 30 pounds (still another 20 to go, I hope!) Haven't seen much about paleo over here and Cordain's book hasn't been published here yet, but I have read Neanderthin and found the Protein Power Life Plan very good as well. While the exercise thread is still going: I do high intensity weights twice a week but find cardio really boring! The superslow link was interesting but I couldn't see any proper references there, and a search on the misc.fitness.weights archives suggested that they are not very well- regarded among that newsgroup - does anybody have any more info? I have also been wondering about whether paleo theory implies that men and women need to do different types of exercise - if men were hunters and women were gatherers, should I be going for long walks rather than sprinting? What do people think? Cheers, Jo
