Paleo focuses on whole foods that would have been available to pre-agricultural humans. The framework excludes grains (wheat, rice, oats, corn), legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts), most dairy, refined sugars, and industrial seed oils. Emphasizes grass-fed and pasture-raised animal protein, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and traditional fats.

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.
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.
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.
