You’ve probably seen the Keto diet mentioned around a lot on the internet as a great weight loss diet.
And maybe you’ve wondered what it is, how it’s different from Paleo, and whether you should switch?
I see a lot of people get confused by this, but the simple fact is that Paleo and Keto are remarkably similar. In fact, you can go Keto for a month and then switch back to Paleo. That way you’ll get the benefits of Keto while eating foods high in nutrients. And you can go back to Paleo whenever you want.
Keto vs Paleo
The easiest way to think of Keto is that it’s a lower carb version of Paleo. It’s Paleo minus the sweet potatoes, honey, bananas…
Generally, Keto is used by people who want to lose some weight or gain mental energy (although it can also be used for other health reasons).
You see, when you cut back on the amount of carbs you eat and increase your fat intake a bit, your body starts producing more ketones. Then, your body uses those ketones for energy instead of glucose.
And the best part is that those ketones are produced from fat, which is why people talk about Keto as a fat-burning diet.
What do you eat on Keto?
You’ll be shocked by how similar my Keto diet looks to my Paleo diet! I just cut out the sweet potatoes, fruit, and the Paleo treats.
What many Paleo folks don’t realize is that they’re often already eating Keto dishes many days.
In fact, Lisa has a ton of Keto-friendly recipes on her site, like her avocado tuna salad, mustard crusted salmon, or garlic roasted shrimp with zucchini pasta.

Take a look at my low carb Keto quiche recipe below…it’s 100% Paleo as well as Keto.
And if you’re still unsure, then Lisa has an easy printable Keto food list here you can take shopping with you. Compare it with her printable Paleo shopping list!
How do you use Paleo and Keto Together?
Most people trying Keto haven’t come from a Paleo background. Unfortunately, this means a lot of processed low carb junk foods (including dairy products and artificial sweeteners) get added into their diet.
So, if you’re planning to give Keto a try, remember to keep using a Paleo framework. That way you’ll maximize your nutrients as well as get the benefits of a Keto diet.
An Easy Way To Start Keto
I hope this post has helped to clear up some confusion around Keto.
But I know if it can still be confusing navigating Keto recipes online…many of them contain dairy, some of them are labeled Keto but have non-Keto ingredients, and some have peanut butter, sucralose, and sugar-free syrup that we would never use on a Paleo diet.
That’s why I created meal plans…to help you navigate Keto with ease.
And when you want to switch back to Paleo (or even AIP), you can also switch your plan to our Paleo or AIP meal plans without any fuss.
That way, you’ll never be left hungry and wondering what to eat.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and sauté until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the bell pepper and onion to the bacon fat and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the spinach to the skillet and saute until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, combine the tomato, eggs, olives, basil, garlic, coconut cream, bacon, and spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into a 9-inch by 9-inch (23-cm by 23-cm) square baking dish.
Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the eggs are soft but set.
