The Paleolithic diet, a.k.a., the Paleo diet is just a diet that is based off of the hunter-gatherer concept. In the past when there clearly was no agriculture, Cavemen ate the buffalo they hunted; and they ate the berries they gathered. There clearly was no alcohol, no sugar, and no grains.

Today, we have absolutely every type of food offered to us... and right once we want it. Making food so close in your fingertips at moments notice, the quality of food we eat has gone down significantly. For example, chickens and cows are given growth hormones so they grow faster, to be slaughtered faster, all to be sold that even more quickly; they're kept in cages, unable to roam around limiting proper muscle development and unable to consume the foods they would naturally eat. Ultimately, quality is compromised for quantity. That's not really the type of chicken

I'm not encouraging you to go hunting in your backyard hoping a deer can come walking by, I'm asking you to rethink what the dietary plan of the human species should be. Prepackaged, processed food with additives is typically not what we were built to eat. We have adapted to these foreign substances, but the adaptation is what may be the source of degenerative diseases (Jonsson T, et al.BMC Endocrine Disorders 2005 5:10).

The Paleo diet contains the following:

o Meat
o Vegetables
o Nuts and seeds
o Some fruit
o Little Starch

The Paleo diet specifically EXCLUDES the following:

o Sugar
o Grains
o Vinegar
o Beans and Legumes (including peanuts)
o Soy
o Alcohol
o Dairy

The 'No' list is quite long. However, it's for a very good reason. Staying far from dense carbohydrates, i.e. grains, beans, legumes, and dairy will help keep your insulin level even with your glucagon level, a critical ratio to maintain. Secondly, gluten, soy, dairy, and sugar have various harmful effects to your body. Here is just a short list:

o Sugar suppresses your immunity system for hours
o A higher carbohydrate diet is the cause of 'Syndrome X' and diseases of affluence
o Gluten damages your intestinal lining (yes, even although you don't have Celiac's disease)
o The soy molecule mimics the estrogen molecule and can function in the exact same manner
o Dairy contains harmful hormones and chemicals that wreck havoc on your own liver.
o Alcohol kills brain cells and is dehydrating

The benefits of eating the Paleo diet:

o Decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis, acne, gastrointestinal disease, autoimmune disease, and more.
o Ideal performance
o Ideal weight
o Optimum health

CrossFit pushes two forms of diets: the Paleo diet and the Zone diet. Personally, I love Paleo better because of the associated health benefits. The purpose of eating is to supply our anatomical bodies with energy so that our cells can visit work and keep us alive; so that people can exercise; so that people can hunt and gather more food. Although eating is and should be a pleasurable experience, let's not forget why we have to eat in the initial place. The paleo diet provides the human body with very dense nutrition, as opposed to foods which have little nutrition and are full of calories. Remember, anything in excess, if it be a carbohydrate, a protein or a fat, the human body respectively turns it into glucose, proteins, or fatty acids and it will either utilize it straight away or it will STORE it. Eating nutrient dense food minimizes having to consume excess foods which can be absent of nutrition to replace the missing nutrients. The Zone diet, although ideal for losing or gaining weight, weigh loss or weight gain is NOT the only thing to consider. Eating for your health and your performance increase your longevity- you will live a happier healthier and longer life eating foods that the human body was made to process-not foods which can be processed.
