As a part of the CrossFit community, you will receive excellent nutritional guidance to help you meet your fitness and wellness goals, including losing body fat, building muscle and improving athletic performance. At CrossFit El Paso, we encourage our members to follow healthy natural low-to-moderate carbohydrate diets, such as the Paleolithic Diet.

The Paleolithic, or Paleo Diet

The Paleo Diet (also popularly known as the Caveman Diet), is another interesting approach to eating well. The Paleo eating philosophy is based on the idea that we are genetically the same as the early hunter-gatherers; and that modern, high-carbohydrate diets and lifestyles are responsible for a host of health problems, including obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis and other ailments.

• EAT: lean meats, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.
• AVOID: processed, high-carbohydrate foods, grains, legumes and dairy.

Below is a great video from PaleoCookbook.com.  It is about 18min but reviews the Paleo diet concisely.  Take this time to view this video if you are serious about your nutrition, your performance, and your overall health.
