Other way around actually. You can't out train a troutty diet. No matter how much you exercise, if you eat a lot of grains and sugar filled food and drink every day, you're probably going to be overweight. But even if you're skinny you're still at a huge risk of diabetes, heart disease, etc with such a diet. Exercise is important, but if you don't have your diet in order there's not much exercise will do for you health wise. Best case scenario you'll probably be slightly stronger, faster, or have a bit more stamina than other unhealthy people.

People who recommend and follow paleo diets are rarely against agriculture or anti-science. Quite the contrary really. But they do recognize that things like grains are objectively bad for long term health and choose to avoid them.
