Well my brother is an RN and from his knowledge the main place the paleo diet and Atkins diets fall short are the people who over due it. A little whole grain is OK. Look at Native Americans before the white man came. So my brother showed me how the paleo diet was a good base to start but depending on your goals determined your diet. I'll use myself as an example. I live in the Texas panhandle we have plenty of cattle, grain fields, and lots of farms. So red meat is extremely cheap. You try feeding a family of six on tofu that costs almost $2 a lb vs ground beef that's around $1 a lb. Chicken isn't bad, enough of the local farmers raise them, but good seafood forget it if it ain't in a can you're outta luck. Then we have several hog farms around. So my diet consists of a mix of red meat chicken and pork. With a good mix of veggies that we grow out back in the garden. That's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My normal doctor told me my last physical to quit what I'm doing cause I won't make him any money, jokingly of course.
