I find it unsustainable and unnecessary. If you lift weights regularly, get 0.8-1g of protein so your muscles actually recover and .5g of fat per pound of bodyweight for general health and fill in the rest with carbs. Carbs aren't bad for you and taste good, and there haven't been any clear studies that show that it gets you better results than a balanced diet. If you're obese and you eliminate a lot of carbs from your diet, of course you will lose weight because it is so much easier to eat a lot of calories from starchy carbs than veggies or protein like chicken and beef, but at the end of the day it's calories in versus calories out. You don't get some award or better results for doing something more difficult, you're just making your life more difficult.

Can you explain which paleolithic epoch diet you want to follow, as the diets during that ~2.6 million year period varied dramatically in terms of foods, energy intake, macronutrient composition and micronutrient intake based on myriad factoring including specific time period, location, season, specific customs of indigenous populations, etc.
