A good article on the Paleo Diet: http://asweetlife.org/a-sweet-life-staff/featured/why-i-eat-like-a-caveman/8447/
My quick pitch on this diet.
The diet works. Period. You will look, feel, perform better. These are facts. I have not heard or seen of a case where someone who has truly commited to it has not. No more sluggish afternoons.
For me personally I starting performing better on workouts. I no longer feel sluggish at ANY point in the day as long as I am properly fueled. I no longer have allergies or symptoms of allergies. Read that again. For anyone who has known me before eating Paleo, allergies were a constant struggle for me. That is reason enough to eat in this way.
For anyone that wants to lose weight eating Paleo and doing Crossfit is a sure fire way to acheive that goal. It is hard work. Losing weight in a proper manner is hard work. The diet is harder to do than the workouts. But anyone that truly commits to both is sure achieve their goals. But again it is hard work.
If you want more info on the Paleo Diet a google search will turn up loads of info. If you want more info on Crossfit, send me an email and get started. You are welcome to research it, but you don't need to. Just contact me, come for a workout (scaled to your abilities) and find out what all the fuss is about.
It will change your life.
