We humans aren't the only ones that benefit from a Paleo or Primal diet and lifestyle. . .
Nicole had an epiphany regarding her cat that she would like to share:
"I have a 13-year old cat named Croix who was diagnosed with Diabetes several years ago. At that time, she tipped the scales at 19 pounds (see pic)! Admittedly, I wasn't mother of the year when it came to keeping my cat's weight in check. After years of buying the super-expensive, "low-carb", prescription dry food that my vet insisted she needed, her condition continued to get worse until she finally had a serious episode in June which nearly cost her her life. At that time, she had stopped eating and was very weak. Out of options, the vet said to try and feed her tuna fish (which she ate) and then moved her temporarily onto a wet food which is basically all protein. She loved the wet food so I kept her on it. Two months later I noticed her blood sugar was abnormally low, so I stopped giving her insulin. I took her to the vet, we monitored the situation, and I can proudly say that another two months later she is officially diabetes-free (and now only 12 pounds).
"So I thought: Did Paleo cure my cat's Diabetes? Well, maybe not exactly. However, if I had just feed her a diet closer to her natural diet all along, we probably wouldn't have had this problem to begin with!"
By doing burpees for sliced chicken of course!

And just how does Croix get in her exercise?
