Good Explanation of difference between Paleo and Keto diets

You see, a "paleo" diet has no specific macronutrient ratios that you're striving for as a goal. It's more of a framework of eating healthy by choosing foods that have the longest history of human consumption from the hunter-gatherer ages (meat, fish, eggs, nuts, fruits, roots, veggies), while minimizing foods like grains, vegetable oils, sugar, and legumes that humans only began eating large amounts of after the agricultural revolution.

So, a Paleo diet could actually be either high-carb OR low-carb depending on each person's food choices. A Paleo diet could also be high in foods like meat and fish, OR it could even be low in meat/fish but based almost entirely around fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds and roots. The macronutrient ratio of protein, carbs and fat can vary widely on a paleo diet and there is no "exact" ratio.

On the other hand, a Keto Diet (aka, ketogenic diet) is extremely high fat, extremely low carb, and moderate in protein. A general macronutrient ratio recommended on a keto diet is around 70-80% of calories from fat, 15-20% from protein, and less than 5% from carbs. The general goal of keto is to train your body to run exclusively on fats instead of being a carb-burner.

A keto diet tends to be a much more strict type of diet in that people are aiming for very specific macronutrient ratios and very little carbs at all, whereas a Paleo diet can range anywhere from low-carb to high-carb depending on the individual's goals. Many people find a keto diet very satisfying due to the high fat content, so they report that they have no cravings at all, and find fat loss to be easy.

Strict ketogenic diets are also being used in medical research to help control cancer and even shrink tumors (it can be used to help prevent cancer too, since frequent high blood sugar feeds cancer cells, so running your body on fat and keeping very low blood sugar levels can essentially starve cancer cells over time. However, it's just ONE tool in the fight against cancer, and not a cure-all by any means, so should be used in combination with other treatments, whether one chooses traditional or alternative treatments.

Keto diets also have plenty of evidence that they help to reverse type 2 diabetes... In addition, there is even on-going research into the benefits of a keto diet for helping to slow or reverse Alzheimer's as well.

However, with all of this said...

The #1 problem with keto that many people talk about is they can't bear the thought of reducing their carbs THAT much and not being able to indulge in some of their favorite foods. Plus, eating pure ketogenic for TOO LONG can potentially cause lower Thyroid levels for some people (but not all)...

The solution...

Well, my good friend and rapid fat loss expert Joel Marion recently created and used a new rapid 14-day version of the ketogenic diet—utilizing 4 specific "super fats"—to completely transform his body in record time...

However, he utilized strategically-timed "keto carbs", so that you can still enjoy carbs at certain times during this 14-day rapid fat loss plan...

The result?

Well, it's EASIER to follow than a pure strict keto diet, but still gives you a lot of the benefits of the keto diet, without the drawbacks of lower Thyroid levels, feeling deprived, etc. In fact, Joel himself used this unique 14-day variation of Keto to get these results:

It all started by eating the 4 SUPER FATS below at the right time over a short 14 day period (a few of them are probably in your kitchen right now)...
