Keto vs. Paleo
If you’ ve researched one, you’ ve run across the other. These two diets are fairly similar, although there are some key differences. The ketogenic diet is a bit more stringent and focuses more on higher fat and lower carb consumption than Paleo. The Paleo diet, also known as the caveman diet, focuses more on consuming higher amounts of protein and foods that only our prehistoric ancestors would have access to. Paleo does not allow for anything manmade or anything that we would not have had access to in early human days. Paleo also does not allow dairy; only coconut milk and butter and almond milk. Keto focuses more on ketone production where Paleo does not.
Either way, removing manmade carbohydrates from your diet will greatly benefit your health. It is possible to follow principles from both diets successfully. For example, you could follow the macros recommended by the keto diet, while being dairy-free and incorporating more fruits and vegetables in your diet as recommended on the Paleo diet. This particular method works best for me, but again, we are all different so experiment to find out which method works best for you.
