I have tried paleo, lacto-paleo, low-carb, and some variants in between. Not because I put any great stock in them, but because I wanted to observe their effects on my body. In all cases, I did lose weight (I am not anywhere near overweight, I am actually in quite good shape, exercise regularly, and have a generally healthy diet to begin with). I understand this to be normal, especially in males, to lose weight fairly quickly, and then plateau out. Women experience mixed results, but it's generally a slower process for them to begin seeing a difference. From a health perspective, I honestly cannot put any stock into this article or any other proponents of these diets. The claims made in this article border on irresponsible, to the point where it sounds so much like any other miracle diet. There is NO way anyone should undertake any major change to their diet without good reasoning, and consulting a physician or qualified nutritionist. Your gym trainer is not a qualified source. Neither is a random website. Bodies are too unique to fall into some one-size-fits-all diet scheme for anyone.
