I wouldn't say it's like Atkins, there are carbs in Paleo just not starchy / bulky grain-based carbs. It's a healthy "diet" (literaly use of the word, it's not a temporary diet but a lifestyle change) with a good balance that will be perfectly sustainable long term IF the person doing it isn't easily tempted by delicious treats like some of us  .
I would say though, it's not just the change of diet, the lifestyle change incorporates lots of natural / bodyweight excercise to properly utilise what will probably be lots of extra protein. Doing it without a commitment to exercise is a bit pointless really.
Oh and also... it can get expensive. Good quality food costs more than junk. |
I had to look this up to see what it is.
I agree with your comments too. Exercise and eating better (if possible) and less, always works for me.
