This is outside my area of expertise, as I lift, but I'm not a body builder (I'm also a woman) -every guy I know who switched to paleo saw a pretty impressive rise in testosterone (doctors words, not mine), as it seems that processed foods screw with the body's production of hormones in both sexes & often mimics thyroid malfunction.
I would do more googling (paleo + bodybuilding), as the info is out there. I know I personally can't go too low with carbs or I get the "keto-rash" or, pruritis pigmentos (finally figured out the legit name after having a 2nd time in two years). I make a concerted effort to add carbs & fat to every meal, as it's just the way I function best.
An optimal diet is such a personal & highly-customized thing, you really have to be your own guinea pig & figure out how you feel best. There's a lot of good info online but there's also a LOT of bullshit. Don't count anything out until you've tried it for 30 days, and then, listen to what your body tells you, because it will tell you.
Yes, everybody innately "knows" this. The breakdown occurs in the fact that, for the years previous to finding Paleo, I was "eating right" (quinoa, whole grains, limited meat, veggies, low-fat, blah blah blah) -and that got me depressed, mentally compromised, squishy (I wasn't even fat, so I even looked "healthy" while I was anything but) & just generally fatigued & feeling like shit. There's so much mis-information out there about what's good for the human body, you pretty much have to figure it out for yourself, but for me, paleo was an excellent road map to start my journey to health, wellness & living life again.
