Paleo is a bit different from normal low carb considering you are eating fruit. Maybe you are talking about LCHF or Keto?
(Layperson understanding of the issue follows here, proceed with care)
Carbs are not bad per se. Sure, big amounts of sugar are and a diet mainly consisting of carbs is probably as well. Italy is a nice example of a country where olive oil is abundant in their diet as well. What I think is the #1 advantage of Keto etc. is that you have no choice but to have a better look at what you eat (same with Paleo) as all the unhealthy, heavily processed stuff is simply not allowed anymore.
I actually started with Keto because I thought it was a cool diet hack that tricked you into not eating the stuff everyone with knowledge of diets was already telling you not to eat (the whole "fat is bad" for you has already been on a decline for some time now).
But Keto is not telling you bread is bad. It's telling you for the purpose of this diet it's bad. And the purpose is calorie intake reduction by eating bigger than normal amounts of fat which are supposedly more filling. And at least for me I can second that. I counted calories a bit before starting Keto and a week while doing Keto. My intake was severly reduced while eating as much as I wanted.
