If you want to lose weight, you may want to keep track of carb levels, so you would limit those items, but they're not forbidden.
I was a little stricter for the first 6 weeks, then added some things back in. I still lost weight, even over the holidays when I kind of didn't worry about it too much. I think my metabolism improved overall.
Paleo is low carb & around 100g or less per day if I recall (it's been over two years since I looked into it) It's VERY easy to eat that low carb when eating (only) whole fresh foods. That's why people on paleo so often end up slipping into ketosis.
One of the slightly irritating things about something like "paleo" is there's no real definition. I read up on it and tried it a little, and have talked to people who do it, and from that potatoes were fine (although not as prized as sweet potatoes, which--with coconut oil--are rather over-praised, although I do like them and eat them often). Also, based on at least some of the information available it's not supposed to be a low carb lifestyle, although obviously some people do both and plenty of people say that if you want to lose weight on paleo that you should reduce carbs too. Even when researching it and getting that information, though, I always suspected that it would work basically like a low carb diet, as most people probably do go accidently low carb if you cut out all grains and legumes and added sugar. On the other hand, plenty of people also seem to do a silly form of paleo (if you don't just think it's all silly) where they create all these paleo versions of muffins and so on.
For the OP, like others have said, if you think the paleo restrictions would be annoying to you and you aren't especially drawn to it for other reasons, I'd just incorporate the stuff you like. Some of it is pretty similar to things that appeal to me and that I do anyway (and thus which aren't really "paleo" in any particular way), whereas other things--like cutting out or even cutting down on dairy and legumes--I can't really get on board with, at least not for me. Also, just as a personal preference I tend to usually like thinking of food in terms of the foods I want to emphasize rather than foods being off limits (although I've been known to decide I'm giving up something for a period if it helps me focus on other foods).
^^^This is a great summery...

Some people don't eat Paleo to lose weight, so they wouldn't have need for a deficit. I don't think it's a fad at all, some people do not like to consume "processed" foods; I would say it's got a lot more attention recently with popularity, but it's been around a long time | kind of like keto.
define "processed"….every food we eat is processed in some manner...
Every fkin time with this term, what do you think the quote marks are for, like I say every single time I use this term which I hate so fkin much - cooking is a process, cutting is a process, even picking the plant or killing the animal is a process, im not the one who coined it - which is why I use the quote marks. I don't see how that isn't obvious; and you know exactly what it means there's no need to be so pedantic, that goes for everyone who tries to pull this bs.

Technically a mixed salad is considered "processed" foods.
I'm on board with tossing out refined foods and overly processed foods. But no cheese and no whole grains? Screw that noise.
Yeah that's why I threw those quotes in, whenever someone points that out I'm like "cooking" "cutting" "washing" I hate that term.

It's the same as demonizing chemicals. Everything on earth is made from chemicals; even water is formed by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. When did "chemical" become a dirty word?0

I would guess that a person who lives mostly on packaged foods, such as mac n cheese, frozen pizza etc etc would be less healthy than a person who lived on mainly fresh and/or organic produce such as grass fed meats, free range eggs and fresh fruit and veg etc etc.
I know which lifestyle I would prefer to follow.
I'm not saying I live 100% healthy. I sometimes have packet foods, but not regularly.

Not for me. Honestly, I do best on a low carb diet...I can totally cut bread products from my diet (I do love potatoes, tho...bummer...but since I can eat other goodies, I do better with Southbeach/Atkins type). I love my beans. Can't do nuts because my son is severely allergic, so we don't keep them in the house at all.0

I actually love that quote and also find it funny. But it is also true. Paleo is flexible and different to many people. It is a man made "diet" based on the caveman concept. I personally would find it hard to follow the hard core Paleo.
So I choose to listen to my body and how it feels after eating a certain product. "Food is your fuel and your medicine", that is the way I look at it. They say if you aren't doing more vegetables than a vegetarian, then you aren't doing Paleo. So I try to get as many vegetables into my day as I can. Doesn't always work but I believe it is worth the effort of trying.
A wise lady gave me this quote "never cheat with wheat" and that is the one firm part of Paleo that I am personally trying to adhere to as I feel really well when I stay away from wheat.0 -

That's probably true, but its not because of the food, it's because of the other lifestyle choices that generally accompany such a diet. Someone who is super active and ate that would probably be just as healthy as if they ate...well..."better".
I still remember Usain Bolt's story of eating nothing but chicken mcnuggets before his gold medal performance in the Beijing olympics....

I know which lifestyle I would prefer to follow.
I'm not saying I live 100% healthy. I sometimes have packet foods, but not regularly.
Part of the issue is that "processed food" doesn't just mean "packaged foods" like frozen pizza. It also means "packaged foods" like Greek yogurt and smoked salmon and baby carrots and a bag of spinach and canned whole tomatoes and a carton of eggs and a bottle of olive oil and frozen fish and any meat at the supermarket or butcher or even a local farm and on and on. Plus, obviously we process pretty much everything when we chop it, cook it, so on, and it's picked for us, trucked in from who knows where (the banana I ate today in Chicago is hardly "unprocessed" even apart from the fact that it would not exist at all if humans hadn't meddled).
I'm someone who tends to eat better if I eat lots of whole foods and cook a lot, not because that way of eating is inherently healthier but because I enjoy it more and it tends to motivate me to eat better, and because I really like vegetables when I cook them (or go to a good restaurant) and don't if they are in a convenience meal (in most cases, not claiming there aren't possible exceptions). However, it would be silly for me to claim that eating no processed foods is healthier. First, as mentioned above, a lot of what I eat IS packaged as set forth above (and basically everything is processed by others, except what I get from my garden, which is nothing this time of year). Second, I often seek out certain more processed foods specifically because I think they are healthy or they help me meet my nutrition needs. These include dairy products (which I buy packaged, even when from farms), smoked salmon and frozen fish, the occasional leaner cut of meat like lower fat ground beef or boneless skinless chicken or turkey breast, so on. Also protein powder or a Quest bar if one likes those things.
I also think it's possible to seek out packaged foods (in the sense you mean) that are consistent with an overall healthy diet, even if one eats 100% convenience foods. Indeed, since I live in an area with lots of trendy diet stuff, I could order paleo convenience meals from a local vendor that look pretty darn healthy to me, even if I suspect cavemen would find them weird.0 -
A wise lady gave me this quote "never cheat with wheat" and that is the one firm part of Paleo that I am personally trying to adhere to as I feel really well when I stay away from wheat.
I ran both my half marathons last year after going out for Indian food and having lots of naan. I possibly had a samosa too the second time.
I think it's totally cool if you find you feel better not eating wheat, but the advice seems to presume that we all have negative reactions to it, and that's not so.0
