The difference is one is based off of a snake-oily book called “The Paleo diet” from 2002 and the other is a biologist who doesn’t have ads on his website who just makes general recommendations and suggests that you think for yourself.
Not true. Dairy is outlawed on original paleo from Loren Cordain. White sugar used therapeutically is certainly 100% outlawed in paleo. Paleo has what they call an "85:15 rule" where they "do it right" 85% and break the rules 15% of the time.
You said starch is allowed on paleo? Are you serious? Their whole campaign is anti-starch. They say "no potatoes" while Peat has said that potatoes are an almost perfect food.
What to Eat on The Paleo Diet | Dr. Loren Cordain
Peat thinks fruits are better than starch but has said that well cooked starch with a little fat added is “safe.” Peat would also agree that if one is in a fruit desert (desert, not dessert) meaning they do not have access to fruit, and they wanted more variety than lowfat/nonfat milk, starch from non-flour sources such as potatoes and white rice can be used and should be used to provide carbohydrate energy otherwise thyroid function will become sluggish.

· Paleo dieters generally shy away from sugar and dairy, but they're not 100% outlawed, while on a Peat diet, they're a major component and encouraged
Starch: okay with paleo, not peat
