After starting Paleo ending my 'vegetarian period' I have gained back quite a few pounds of muscle (no fat) without excessive exercises. My typical exercise routine is: - long walks daily (at least I try to); - 30 min in a gym once a week (short but intense); - some swimming (twice a month). At the beginning I was too weak to exercise at all. Now I would probably survive 5 times a week gym regime but Paleo eating woke up my laziness so I simply don't exercise too much but I'm quite active anyway. So by your doctor definition the Paleo diet is 'too much' for me but I feel great and I don't get fat or have any other signs of overloading my body. >From: Cecilia Moen <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Paleolithic Eating Support List <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: [P-F] Refuting paleo >Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 14:55:45 +0200 > >I discussed this diet with my daughters "allergy doctor" (for lack of >a better word, but he is not a regular doctor).
