I think the best approach using Paleo guidelines involves eating large amounts of meat/animal proteins 4-5x a day, lots of veggies, seasonal fruits occasionally, and then having some paleo carbs pre and post workout (potatoes, roots, tubers, or paleo-friendly carbs like rice/corn/etc.). While running this "base" paleo template, you can add raw dairy/dairy to the mix and use the amount of milk you drink to dial in the way you're gaining/losing weight. If you're anti milk, eat more meat/coconut oil/nuts.
