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 .
