Interestingly, they first teach their clients how to shop and eat before they teach them how to work out. Makes a lot of sense to me.
Lots of people note that paleo and low-carb typically go hand-in-hand, and then say that you can't be an athlete on a low-carb diet. There's little science one way or the other, so we're left with anecdotes... The anecdotes seem to be pretty clear: you sure can be a paleo athlete, just like your paleo ancestors were.
I think the statement "you cant be an athlete on a low-carb diet" is probably geared towards endurance athletics, and not something like a strength or power lifter, or a body builder. I plan on reading The Paleo Diet for Athletes soon, so we'll see what that has to say about it. :-)
