It works to lose weight, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone trying to build some size & strength.

I expected to have my energy level drop, but I noticed the opposite. The stricter I am with paleo seems to have a direct correlation to how good I feel. Since I started paleo I've had more energy, my allergies are almost completely nonexistent (I don't even take my allergy meds any more), I've lost weight, my skin has completely cleared up, and I just feel a lot better.
