It is not paleo. Paleo doesn't allow as many beans, whole grains, or healthy roots. Paleo tries to get trigger the body to run off ketosis.
This is just eating smart like all people that want to stay fit for a living. Nothing special -- no biological trick.
If you can get your fat intake to 30% -- that's the sweet spot for peaking your natural testosterone. Less fat in diet or more will cause it to drop.
You obviously need lots of protein, but its best to try to spread it out over 5-6 meals with moderate amounts since you can only absorb so much.
While lots of carbs is lots of calories and lots of fat storage later, moderate amounts of carbs laden with fiber give you lots of energy without preventing weight loss (or causing weight gain).
You start slowing down on weight loss and cardio when you pick up strength training. It's not a horrible idea to just do cardio and diet and lose weight if you are very obese...but you do lose muscle with fat unless you are doing a str training program.
But its hard to gain strength and lose fat
fast. It's a bit more gradual than just literally running your ass off. But the results are more impressive. Being really skinny (esp as a dude) is not great. Need a bit of muscle.
