That's one major difference. The Paleo Diet recommends getting 55% of all calories from meat and seafood, but I don't eat any meat other than occasional fish (maybe 700-1,000 calories per week), and I do eat some brown rice. Most healthy diets recommend eating a lot of vegetables. For me, sweet potato is the same as any other vegetable -- not exactly a staple by itself.
I would intentionally avoid the word paleo, because I think that it would confuse people or give some kind of implicit approval to ideas that I don't agree with. I used to seriously practice real paleolithic living skills[1], and I think that the Paleo Diet gets too many things wrong. If I would use the world "paleo", people might think that it has something to do with the other paleolithic activities I used to practice, so I'm making an effort to distance myself from it. :)
