That is essentially correct. I cleaned up my diet even before going paleo
-- that was the same time that I got off the couch and rediscovered
exercise. The biggest change was that I dropped a bunch of bodyfat (some
55 lbs of it), but I believe that was mostly due to my strict attention to
diet (particularly calories) and exercise. I also dropped my blood
pressure during that same timeframe. This was a "clean" SAD diet. I did
not observe any additional health changes when switching to paleo. But it
wasn't that big a switch, either. My "clean SAD" already avoided white
sugar and white flour, pasta, starches (potatoes, etc), fried foods, and
convenience foods. So paleo wasn't a huge switch.
