Not really.
But paleo as Loren Cordain and Art Devany envisioned it 5 years ago is. Finally, I can eat some potatoes without guilt!
Low-carb paleo was really putting a strain on my brain. It seems like glucose is now my friend for life. It does seem kind of silly in retrospect now. Long-term low-carb isn't pretty.
I haven't ditched paleo completely but I'm going in a more bodybuilder direction. I want muscle mass, and lots of it. I think I will have to set aside my goal of being below 10% bodyfat for the time being so I can focus on the excruciatingly slow process of muscle building. I know enough about building muscle where I'm confident I can turn some heads walking down the street in a few years.
I have already made some progress in the past few months. I am noticeably bigger (fat gain contributed to this) and I am much stronger. I could barely bench 150 a couple months ago and now I'm at 235 and climbing. By next year 315 seems very doable.
Anyway, my body comp goals aside, I don't think I will ever try a low carb diet more more than 3 weeks at a time. My body can't handle it.
