...same here...control of radical blood sugar drops, clearer sinuses,
less bloated, less menstrual pain, less carb craving during PMS,
clearer skin, and defenitely more calm and tolerant of others.
...no doubt the control of hypoglycemia had a lot to do with that.
I do, however, exercise like a beast; .into the bodybuilding thing,
(a wanna-be really, a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 yet, but gettin' there).

I do still eat some starches, I find them useful for energy in the
gym, but the amount is much, much less than I used to eat, and
still I saw the benefits. I have a little milk occassionally too.

I am more interested in the bodybuilding thing right now than
adhering to a perfect paleo lifestyle.....,but for sure the low carbing,
well low starching really, has made the biggest difference in my
day to day health.....and I can't emphasize enough the importance
of the exercise.  It has helped my insulin resistance tremendously.
I can actually tolerate the few starches I eat now, I couldn't before.
