A lot of paleo types just go the low carb route. I found that my workouts stink if stay low carb for too long so I'm frequently chowing on potatoes, white rice, fruits and higher carb veggies.
I also don't shy away from dairy, which is a no go for a lot of paleo types.

So your basically just eating a normal healthy diet now. I tried to eat 'paleo' style to drop a few pounds back over the summer. I tried to follow the strict version where you can't eat rice, potatoes, etc and have to rely mainly on veggies and fruit as carb sources. My strength dropped real quick and my workouts started to suck. It could have been an overall calorie too low thing, but just decided to change back to oats & potatoes and add cardio in.
It works to lose weight, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone trying to build some size & strength.
