paleo meal plan FAQ
Can you eat dairy on paleo?
Strict paleo excludes all dairy. Some people follow a more permissive version that allows butter, ghee, or fermented dairy like Greek yogurt. Both approaches have proponents.
Is paleo good for weight loss?
Yes for most people. The elimination of refined sugars, grains, and processed foods typically produces 5-10 pound weight loss in the first 4-6 weeks. Long-term results depend on adherence.
How is paleo different from keto?
Paleo focuses on food types (whole foods, no grains/legumes/dairy) without macro targets. Keto focuses on macro ratios (very low carb, high fat) regardless of food type. The two diets overlap but are not the same.
