The keto diet and paleo diet are both grain-free diets with some major differences in the ingredients allowed. First, the keto diet includes dairy like yogurt, cheese, or cream cheese. It also allows peanut butter but no sugar from fruits, no high-starch vegetables, and no refined sugar-free alternatives like maple syrup. Keto Diet Recipes focus on adding a large amount of fat to switch the body into a fat-burning mode and therefore burn fat instead of carbs. It's a weight-loss diet. On the other hand, paleo diet recipes don't include dairy at all. No yogurt or cheese but includes natural sweeteners, natural sugar from any fruits, and most vegetables excluding potatoes.  The paleo diet also excludes peanuts in favor of almonds or other nuts and seeds. It means that on a paleo diet, you can eat bananas, dates, maple syrup, and other high-carb grain-free flour like tapioca flour or cassava flour. The goal of the paleo diet is to eat wholesome ingredients that are grain-free and minimally processed to feel energized.
