A low
carbohydrate diet typically means restricting the amount of
carbohydrate intake to about 20 — 60 grams
per day, while on the other hand paleolithic diet does not place such restrictions and encourages consumption of
complex carbohydrates such as tubers, roots, fruits and vegetables.
For example, a 170 - pound person would be instructed to eat 1,700 calories
per day, including 255 calories from protein (64 grams), 1,190 calories from
carbohydrates (297 grams) from a variety of (mostly
complex)
carbohydrates, and 255 calories fat (28 grams), of which no more than 9 grams could be saturated.»
