    Ate paleo for a few months a couple of years ago. Got to under 10% body fat, decent muscle growth (was working out) and had clarity of mind like never before. Can only recommend it, but I drifted back into junk food and beer.

      Those results were probably in spite of the diet, if you were only on it for a few months.

      Unless you started at 30% fat and unable to do a single push up, I think you were probably already in decent shape before the diet experiment.

        Absolutely. I was already lifting weights and was at around 16% body fat. Best thing about that diet was how it made me feel throughout the day.
