I don't think paleo was never a strict low-carb high-protein diet like Atkins.
Obviously people's definition and how they follow the diet varies, but I think first and foremost paleo is about avoiding processed foods, sugar, certain newer foods like grains and dairy, moderating high-starch foods (which have less nutrients), and mostly eating vegetables, meats and fat.
- saryant 11y agoLow-carb can definitely be a subset of Paleo but you're right, Paleo by itself is not strictly low-carb, the carbs you do consume will just be from fruits, vegetables and starches rather than grains and processed foods. I lost 40 pounds on Paleo/Primal sticking to 50-80g carbs/day.
