As I understand it, the only beverage allowed on paleo is water, and the only sweets allowed are whole fruits and limited quantities of honey.

It is a matter for some debate among paleo advocates as to whether exercising in a gym is an adequate simulation of hunter-gatherer activity. And that's about when I start tuning out. Then I get to the part about donating blood to account for recoverable injuries, and I switch off. It's a diet/lifestyle, not a cosplay.

The success is driven by having a plan and maintaining the individual motivation to carry it out.
