CrossFit - "The Foundation Is Nutrition"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Combining the CrossFit training methodology with a diet of meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar brings "a jet stream of adaptation," says CrossFit founder Greg Glassman.
In the pyramid Glassman created, nutrition is the foundation, with met-cons, gymnastics, weightlifting and throwing, and sport following.
"Each level builds on the level below it," explains Nicole Carroll, director of certification. "If your nutrition sucks, these things will not be where they could be if it were more solid."
Likewise, Glassman says CrossFit favors Barry Sears' Zone Diet "because it does give me accurate and precise prescription for caloric intake and, more importantly, the exact levels of macronutrient that I can start at."
Likewise, trainers and coaches can make informed decisions on how to tweak an athlete's diet for improved performance, he says.
CrossFit HQ trainer Pat Sherwood says nutrition isn't an either/or aspect of training.
"It's not quality or quantity. It can and it should be both."

Best advice from this comes from the very end, "if it has a label on it - it isn't food".
Powerful stuff. Too bad not all cross fitters follow this method..
You too, Marine. Thank you for your continued service. Serve with honor.
The way I see this type of paleo eating, is that it's more of a template: you can fix it the way you want to/need to. E.g. if you need more starches, you eat sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. You eat the way you need to in order to function well.
this is more of a motivational than an educational vid
Excellent video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you heard about - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (probably on Google)? It is a great one off guide for learning how to hack your flow state minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy at last got cool results with it.
Probably the best nutritional video I've seen on the internet
Shit, i just got inspired to start this after eating a gas station burrito.
Reading through the comments, I'm SO GLAD that finally some people know the truth and are mentioning high carbs/high fruits instead of that much fat. Anyone who is currently following the advice from this video, please do yourself a favor and look into eating less fat and way more carbs. I eat 15 bananas a day, several potatoes/sweet potatoes, tons of vegetables, chick peas, a few organic eggs, and very little fat. So why do I still have a sixpack even though I'm eating that many bananas?
Rusty Shackleford Because you have an output high enough such that it requires that kind of intake in order to be sustainable?
Rusty Shackleford because you're extremely skinny?
There's a beer on the table while he's talking about nutrition
The only hard thing about training is when ya love it so much; resting is hard and it takes time to see gains or records.
all meat, vegetables and no sugar makes Jack a dull boy
I can respect that. My time in Navy EOD made me a bit of a stickler on functionality. I remember when MCRD San Diego tooled up to accommodate the new crossfit curriculum.
My intention was to point out that most olympic coaches can't perform (or even look like they can perform) as their athletes. The same goes for professional sports. Look at NFL coaches.
Ultimately, what matters is the number of their athletes that can whip the athletes of other trainers. Dog trainers are not dogs.
I will continue to do my own research, while also using this very video as one of my guide tools. Thank you very much for this video.
This video should be revisited
As long as its only has peanuts on the label...you can get them without sugar, salt or anything else...sprouts and whole foods has them.
Sesbb30... There is 2 kinds of carbs.. Simple and complex. Good natural sugars are found in fruits and sweet potatoes which is the main source of healthy carbs. That should be it. Complex carbs are what you get when you look on the back of a skittles PAC and see 53 carbs... There's a huge difference in sugars.
No offense, if you can sustain that good for you! But I'm sticking with my flexible dieting. Because it works for me.
So good!
He's saying to stay away from processed foods but is drinking a diet sprite 2:18 …. Don't get it
Brandon Zavala it's a beer
iifym is broscience too, (yeh it can work if you already very fit and healthy , but were just fat cause you used to overeat and now suddenly stopped doing that, in other words any calorie restricted diet will make you loose weight when you young and healthy). But at least this backed up by the government they telling us to eat like this too now ( maybe not exactly but similar, i think government still thinks we should eat more carbs than protein, theres nothing wrong with that imo)
You cant get addicted to supplements but you can to stimulants. U wanna get to that weight I suggest eat 205g of protein and lots of good fats like nuts, stop eating carbs at 5 oclock and the ony carb sources should be 2 bowls of porridge with soy milk, 1 medium sweet potatoe and unlimited fibrous veg. Id go with 2400 cals a day to stay energetic whilst cutting
hence his "if it has a food label on it, think twice" comment. Unless you're buying some kinda of pre-marinated meat (think Teryaki whatever...), buying meat, vegetables, fruit, and nuts/seeds will not yield you abnormally high sugar content. The "It's not what I'm eating that's making me fat" mentality is just a sad reality that's pervaded out culture. It's a mindset very similar to the "I have nothing to wear" concept (while standing in front of a closet full of clothes). Change your MINDSET.
So, you probably think that other grains are fine, especially oats. But, of oats, is this really a problem with pasta, or just with bread or white bread?
Prefer to be fit & sturdy as athlete in green ....appreciable - adorable.
hey guys I'm planning to begin crossfit but first I need to know the nutritional way before anything, I want to know what kind of meat is good to eat? For example I hear red meat is bad for you? Is this true?
And what local vegetables were available they ate too...but alot of "Healthy Fats" werent available. Yet my people have throughout history been known for their ability to run great distances. I believe in a variable carb approach, but still even on the highest days no more than 100-150g of high quality grain based carbs...and at least as much from veggies and fruits. I DO NOTagree with full paleo...but there are successful athletes with tons of endurance who live that way! :0
Saturated fat raises low density lipoproteins, thus increases risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Carbohydrates (CHO) are our primary fuel. Glucose is stored in the liver for our brains and in glycogen for our muscles. Complex CHO does not raise blood cholesterol. It is important to avoid refined CHO. We need whole grains. Most people consume 3X the recommended amount of protein per day. Excess protein is converted to carbon skeletons, which are then stored as fat.
I can't tell if your comment was intended to rile up people like me, but if so, you win. So here goes: Your first statement has little to no scientific support. Dietary fats leading to increases in LDL concentration hasn't been shown in the literature--it's an old theory and it's on its way out. CHO, much like protein, when over - consumed is also stored as fat. Many people over consume protein, but this is far less detrimental than the overconsumption of carbohydrate in our culture.
Shiva Michael Best This is not an "old theory." I have a master's and bachelor's in nutrition. Read the Dietary Guidelines for Healthy Americans.
Shiva Michael Best Can you please tell me the method of sole carbohydrate over consumption turning into adipose tissue? I suggest you go and read " Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes ".
Victor J Sloan You are right it is not "old theory," it is very old theory. On your own advice check the 2015 Dietary Guidelines on cholesterol and ANDs proposed changes on dietary fat.
Is that a diet soda next to glass?
you are right , but im pretty sure starbucks sells just straight up coffee
you would expect a crossfit CEO to be in a much better shape
agreed, i looooooove pasta. if it means i have to run 5km more a day in order to eat pasta...i will
This is why you join bodybuilding
Why so you can build up your forearms and calves? Not be able to run sprints, have vertical leap, be athletic? Eat a shit load of food and pig out?
high crab high sugar raw vegan diet man! im ripped to shreds, it the way to go
Greg Glassman, beer belly and no muscle, at 2:22 lmfao at the processed meat, the auther of the zone diet again zero muscle, out of shape
You don't know that's processed meat. It could very likely be shaved at the butcher counter fresh every couple days.
As long as it Natty PB. The ingredients list should say PEANUTS. That's IT.
I crossfit 5-6 days a week and have to disagree with the fact these people think there is 1 diet that can benefit EVERYONE. It is wrong. I have had a fast metabolism my whole life and when I did crossfit AND paleo diet I looked anorexic and felt so incredibly weak and tired during workouts. I added a lot of potatoes and pasta and now feel amazing during workouts...have a very high HDL and very low LDL cholesterol, amazing blood pressure...and still have my 6 pack : )
thank you :)
what about canned beans like chickpeas and black beans
I usually rinse out the goop
Don't get them from a can but rinsing them out sure does help. Usually they say to stay away from legumes. Beans,Lentils,Peanuts. Instead eat veggies and nuts like almonds, macadamian nuts and if you want carbs sweet potatoes, white potatoes. Gluten free oats are good. Just make sure not to eat too much carbs and starches, It's about balance, but I would stay away from refined carbs, processed foods, sugars, vegetable oils, gluten, dairy.
Thank you!
Harpreet Singh
No problem don't be afraid of those carbs I stated either, as long as your a active person you can consume them.
You forgot to mention the juice
I think there is a lot of common sense in many of these recommendations and I think there are a lot of superb Crossfit athletes, what concerns me is why does Greg look like shit? I'm not being provocative I genuinely seek an answer as I am confused. His skin is blotchy, he has vey little muscle definition, if any and he's clearly fat. Shouldn't someone in his position be the finest example of what he preaches?
Thought the same. 👍
Depends. Ever look at Bill Belicheck? Teaching and acting are definitely different skills and don't always correlate. Greg might be a visionary in athletics and training but have low discipline. Arnold Schwarzenegger was an amazing bodybuilder, but there are guys out there with more knowledge and better equipped to train people on how to do it. It's not always a straight line between the two.
He is running but it is a corporation and major sporting events.
Because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
His job is to coach not to look good. You have been brainwashed by steroid addicted Instagram influencers
I have to say I don't do cross fit. I don't work out, but I lost 75 pounds eating a diet like the one that crossfit prescribes to it's athletes. This is the food that everyone should be eating, and it doesn't cost more than junk food because you won't be as hungry, and you won't eat as much because you'll actually be nourished.
The bald dude is drinking a Coor's Light during his discussion about nutrition...
Brett Rodriguez Coors light is just water anyways. Gross.
The "bald duke" is the founder and CEO of CrossFit.
but he doesn't train crossfit.
Something about carbs and something something.
Ben Midulla the founder and CEO of CrossFit is a moron who doesn’t believe in science.
sugar free peanut butter is worse than peanut butter (which isnt bad) because they add artificial sugars to make it taste like regular peanut butter. most light/sugar free products are worse than the regular ones
Good carbs = energy, more energy = better workouts. Any good athlete would say so. Fuck paleo, eat to fuel the body.
I wonder how ignorant people can be when they say that this is garbage, this is wrong with the fitness world, that a calorie is a calorie no matter where it comes from..... If you don`t know what we are suppossed to eat according to evolution, then please don`t make such desinformative comments. (sorry if I committed a writing mistake, english is not my nativa language)
Funny that most of the professional Athletes dont even nearly stick to these rules....
Oh man, what sort of life are you living when you have to measure and weigh out your food before eating it?
The type of life where your athletic and cognitive performance is beyond what most people can understand.
I get atleast 60% of my caloric intake from Carbs ( complex carbs not junk food). I have about a 3000 Cal diet. Never had any health problems what so ever and am a very fit individual. So I'm going to have to call bs on these " nutritional gurus" some of whom look like they've never exercised in a day of their lives have to say.
That's the rule I needed. "If it has a food label, it's not food". Thank you!
quit eating sugar and bread.and drink only water. the end
Tank time food turn into sugar
And then there's rich froning
I like the philosophy behind Paleo, so don't get me wrong... but there is one thing seriously wrong with it. Different human populations (races) have adapted to dairy to different degrees because of their differing evolutionary background. People of European heritage are mostly very well adapted to dairy, and therefore dairy is usually an excellent source of nutrients for them. Africans and Asians have not adapted to dairy as well, so they would generally be better off to avoid it.
For those interested in this - research the rates of lactose (in)tolerance among various human populations. You'll find a very wide dispersion (from some populations being 90%+ lactose tolerant, to other populations being 90%+ lactose intolerant).
I am involved with crossfit, but this video sounds like cult shit. Everyone knows that they shouldn't eat ice cream and Twinkies every day. Having discipline to eat right most of the time is the key to success and don't let anyone tell you that you are doing it wrong.
Having supreme discipline is what It's about in anything in life. Whether it comes to training, playing a sport, instrument at your job, at the university and so on. Usually many people suck at balancing. When they fall off they fall off fully and lose themselves. There are still many that know how to balance but that's not the majority unfortunately. I had a friend back when I was at the University of Michigan and he would party hardcore and be able to wake up go to class study for 7 hours and get A's. Me I wouldn't wake up on time and my grades would fall down so I had to stop partying days before school. It's like that with food with me to, If I slip up for 1-2 days I know what will happen.
Am absolutely sold on Crossfit's approach to physical movement and nutritional programming for the pure and simple fact they have an army of monsters male and female, young and old as walking evidence of its efficiency. Bodybuilding and Fitness models of course have their hard working poster childs but nothing as overwhelmingly unanimous as Crossfit.
Yeah , lets take our advice from some out of shape , overweight guy....
lmao right?
James Marshall if you notice the can on the table next to Greg is a Coors Light. Also, the dude behind the pulpit talking about nutrition and refined carbohydrates is drinking a Starbucks iced something. Consuming these things few and far between is not bad, consuming them while you're preaching about nutrition and health, a little ironic.
what Glassman did was mix the koolaid the everyone drank
@@michelr657 😂😂😂
GO TO MY FB AT 40 I WAS 155 AND A CONCERT PIANIST..... AT 277 IWAS A COMPETING POWERLIFTER 585 SQ 360 BENCH 505 DL ALSO 17 YEARS SCHOOL ADMIN WHAT THE FUCK DO U DO BESIDES ROB PEOPLE ON THE NET$ JERKING OFF AND U WATCHHHH WHOS THE PERVERT
all guys lecturing about nutrition look in hella good shape.
Having fake bulking muscles does not mean healthy.just saying.
LOTS OF FRUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the no-sugar rule refers to refined or processed sugars. The natural sugar in fruit is more easily metabolised by the body, and is somewhat mitigated by the fiber in the fruit
Fat loss is primarily about calorie deficit. Let's say that it takes 2500 calories per day to maintain your weight and you take in 2000 per day of carbs. You'll still lose 1lb a week. Now obviously you want a well rounded healthy diet where you consume junk food sparingly in moderation. But complex carbs are NOT the enemy. If you train like an athlete, they provide fuel for your body. Personally, I'm a fan of intermittent fasting.
"If its got a food label on it, its not food" Even he knows that didn't make sense. last time I checked healthy food had labels on them. So plain meat that has a label is not food??? lol
I think we know what he meant
Video is completely flawed. Rich Froning admits to not eating that healthy of a lifestyle. 4x crossfit champ....
Yes Rich Froning doesn't live by the Paleo lifestyle etc. But this is a Correlation Fallacy. Rich Froning is an individual who is a genetically superior athlete. He trains more than most any athlete I have ever seen and is in fantastic shape. However being 4 time crossfit champion does not mean that if you replicate his nutrition and workouts that you will attain his results.
Personally I find that a "Near Paleo" eating habit works best for me. I am Native American and so for 1000's of years my people being from the east coast subsisted on fish and other lean meats and local roots, tubers, nuts, seeds and fruit. We did not start using grains until the 16th century. Studies have shown on several occasions that people of minority ethnicity should consume much less carbohydrates than someone of European or Asian descent(spelling?)
I find that when I consume carbs even the high quality low glycemic etc. I feel terrible and I bloat and I am sluggish. When I am eating more fat and less carbs and eating more vegetables and proteins I have energy to spare.
The biggest flaw with the Paleo lifestyle is that it puts pretty much everyone under an umbrella and says "ALL OF YOU EAT THE SAME THINGS" Obviously this is flawed thinking since individuals with different metabolic conditioning and varied ethnicities cannot all eat exactly the same way.
Therefore we each must experiment with our nutrition and see what works for us. I think we can all agree that an eating habit that is low in processed sugar, high in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats in the proper ratio, High in lean proteins, A lot of veggies and some fruit, and some starch is a fairly healthy way to eat. This is a blueprint for the meal plan of a bodybuilder who is leaning out for competition..its no wonder these crossfitters are so ripped. But it isn't sustainable for people who are true endurance athletes like Tri-Athletes, Marathoners etc. These people consume tons of carbs and a lot of them are what would be considered "low quality"...especially when carb loading for a race.
There is also a growing body of research that suggests that heart disease is linked more closely to being overweight than to moderate to high fat consumption.
I have spent a lot of time over the last 12 years training people of various ethnic backgrounds, fitness levels, and experience levels and if there is one thing I have learned it is this; there is almost no one size fits all ideology that will apply to every single person. Some basics like exercise and eating healthy=better health kind of go without saying but other than that things can be customizable to the individual.
So this video isn't entirely flawed from a nutritional standpoint but more from an empirical standpoint. The Paleo tends to believe they have the diet to fit all humans and it simply isn't true.
Papa Georgio It's all dependent on how many calories an athlete is capable of burning during training.
But I would agree that eating small-moderate sized portions of nutrient dense foods would be completely insufficient for super-athletes like Froning.
7pastorb Yeah but your view requires nuance. Papa can't be bothered with all that.
Papa Georgio Rich is a either mutant or demigod :)
Yeah but rich work out 8-9 times at day ajajaj
lol no sugar, as he loads on the strawberries... fuck me.
says the guy with the beer belly and a beer on his table - very authentic
I need 3500 calories per day to gain weight. I'll just get all these carbs I need from broccoli and spinach.
Oh, wait.
The Quinoa I buy has a food label on it. Should I avoid it now?
Ha ha anyone else see at 2.15 the coke can and coke bottle on the table by the outta shape guy? Arms behind head in classic display of arrogance . Leaning back so you can look down your nose. Not inspiring.
The best diet depends on the person. Some like paleo, some are vegan, some follow a bodybuilder type diet. If it works for them, it can work for you. But YOU have to try it, don't let other people decide for you.
+Hestia Exactly! It's like what I tell my cat... if you like twinkies over animal protein then that's what works for you. Don't let nature dictate whether you a carnivore or not... decide for yourself
belacoz lol twinkies? Nice :D
_"What's causing heart disease is not dietary fat intake, but excessive consumption of carbohydrates."_
This is a clearly wrong statement that contradicts an overwhelming consensus of scientific research. Yes, higher sugar intake obviously correlates to cardiovascular disease rates, but this doesn't allow such a radical statement.
I am not aware about a single study that has shown clearly that saturated fat is a better caloric source than moderately glycaemic carbohydrates, but of numerous who contradict to this.
I feel amazing. Meat, veggies, some fruit, some nuts and seeds, little legumes, starches like sweet potatoes, white potatoes won't kill you either. I still have gluten free oats and white rice at times. I just believe the idea is to not eat processed bullshit and reduce sugar and refined carb intake as much as possible. Just makes sense. So I guess I'm paleo but I mess with it a bit to make it less cult like and fit my needs.
actually if you take a lot of carbohydrates you can get high tryglicerides wich can cause heart disease
Your missing the point. Its not talking about saturated fats, its talking about how most Americans eat waaaay too many shitty carbs.
I refused to give up the idea that eating heavy vegetable was the way to go. Kept my training the same and finally agreed to a two week Keto diet with a friend. I kept it for 8 weeks and lost 25.4 lbs and am at 13% body fat now. I eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables and berries, but I'm a good 60-70% fats every day. I never believed this would work, but my BP improved, my cholesterol dropped, my triglycerides dropped...blood glucose dropped. I was always "healthy", but shit, now I am cut and muscular...and all I did was adopt a similar nutritional regime to this. No products, no pills, no gimmicks....so, I'm not selling anything. Give it 2 weeks and see if this is for you. I miss fruit and yogurt and oatmeal...but, those are special occasion foods now. Not part of my daily, weekly or even monthly nutrition. That's all....
And yet several of the Top CrossFit athletes eat GUMMY BEARS.... mmm interesting. Everything in moderation. Everybody knows what they should eat. It's not the knowing, but sticking to it, DOING IT.
3:48, really... That guy is something from drinking Starbucks??
So much bullshit with fancy terms to justify it. Looks like a MLM marketing seminar. The best part is the clown talking about it looks like SHIT, no muscle and skinny fat. SO either he doesn't follow his own advice or he does and looks like shit. What a joke, everyone knows excessive refined carbs is not good, don't need to follow CF to figure that out. Hey look they just re-inveted the wheel.
My problem with this diet is the huge amount of meat (as a European, it's way way too much...!) and too little fruits. They are right to suggest no added sugar, no processed stuff and more veggies...but beyond that it's just not for me. Also, the right kind of bread (whole grain with no added crap, baked in a bakery) is very healthy.
Wait, they're quoting Gary Taubes??! Geez. I love CrossFit, but they have the diet part kinda messed up. This is evidenced by their top athletes not following their no carbs recommendation either.
I was diagnosed with GP. I am overweight. In 2003 I had a laparoscopic Nissen and ever since I cannot drink carbonated drinks and I can only drink with a straw. When I was a kid I have always had a very hard time being able to eat many different types of foods like many fruits and vegetables. My entire life if I was to eat a salad I would get sick the minute I put it in my mouth let alone if I was to get any of it down? For example, if I have a burger it could only have the bun meat and cheese and no spread of any kind. No mayo etc. If I was to have a tuna fish sandwich it could only be made with butter plane. I have been trying to lose weight but have been having a hard time doing so? I was just put on a medication called Metformin because I was told I was producing too much insulin and that was causing me to gain weight? I hate the food pyramid and even the my plate because they don't address issues like GP and other dietary issues? Because I am legally blind and use a power chair with limited mobility it's hard to read labels and count calories to be healthy and know what will help me lose weight and live healthier? I wish someone could make a video about this issue?
Everyone keeps sayin he's drinking a coors light. I can't tell. The can is facing the other way. I don't drink coors light so I dont know.
what a bunch of bullshit ahahahha
So beans aren't food? Quinoa isn't food? Brown rice isn't food!? These dummies don't knoe what they're talking about.
Wow this guy has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Carbs don't cause heart disease, animal products/proteins and fats do! This is so inaccurate that I literally laughed
Greg Glassman needs to follow his own advice.
In theory it is easy, the de facto most people could not buy fresh and healthy foods everyday
We do not live in utopia, we shall
All this talk about nutrition and what diet to follow and here's Greg Glassman with diet coke on the table.but its "diet" no sugar this and that blah blah.does diet pertain to food only and not drinks as well? SMH come on!
soooo I shouldn't eat pounds of snack food a day, and I should eat my vegetables and fruit? what?!! no way!
some people don't know I guess.
They discus nutrition and in their video you can see processed meat (which is a Group 1 Carcinogenic) in the same category as cigarettes. I'm a bit confused?
Just have a little bit of everything and you will be fine, opt for the healthier options as much as you can. Sticking to the same diet all your life is boring try dif things and live
Whole food starches are extremely healthy. Sweet potato for example... one of the most nutritious foods available.
Watching this while I enjoy a bag of takis
why would having a paleo diet make you perform better at crossfit compared to other diets? i don't understand
It's funny how the people who come up with the diets, and "good eating" habits are fat! Lol
rich froning doesnt do this, its pretty hilarious. Instead he listens to his body. Ive heard he doesnt like much breads or pastas either.
I'm sorry but counting the carbs for a type one diabetic is very complicated to be honest carbs do turn into sugar one way or another.
so quinoa and a bag of brown rice isn't food because they have labels with nutritional information?
How can a normal guy with a bad lifestyle starts crossfit? please answer me..and congrats for all
What scientific base does Crossfit have in terms of suggesting correct dieting?
Sorry but I will stick to ketogenic or Carb cycling.
Tyler Sudden II right there with ya bud
The guy talking with a grey tshirt has a can of diet coke on his desk 😂
😂
You also need to learn about all the different types of fat , and how much of them is ok to eat, at what age and activity level. Overeating anything can be bad for you. Just cause fat can be good for us in low levels, for our test levls and what not, doesnt mean a regular geek who just started working out can continue to eat junk food , if they wanna get healthy and fit. And dude before a skinny geek can get jacked he has to be at least somewhat healthy already ( or the boyd will just get fat )
Sorry buddy but you are so far from the truth. If you are doing crossfit there is no reason to have a low fat intake. Fat feeds your muscles. I eat a jar of peanut butter a week (not to mention bacon, sausage, eggs, and hash browns (organic) every single day for breakfast for over 2 years) and have amazing blood levels all around...and my 6-pack to boot! Everyone is different...and there is NOTHING wrong with the fat from peanut butter.
Well rich froning is the most winning crossfit athlete. He basically only eats peanut butter and drinks milk and eat's a few eags some times. The main thing getting in shape is you're will and work ethic. Nutritions not that big a factor, as long as yyou just eat around 3-4 times a day and listen to you're body. If you feel like blue berrys, go eat some, if you feel like mango, go buy mango, eat the mango. listen to yourself.
The main goal of a Paleo like diet is to eat like the way they used to eat before agriculture. pasteurizing milk and growing crops, etc. Not to say this diet is perfect, but all in all, overly processed foods aren't good FOR YOU. They are not helpers. The best is natural. Meaning meat and veggies and fruits. I have a problem with them saying no sugar. Fruit can't be that bad for you. I eat cherries all the time. I say whatever nutrition you found that keeps you lean, go for it and workout.
emouch 1 look up Rich Froning...titled fittest man on earth..he is full blast PaleoZone and is extremely fit and has tons of endurance coupled with real functional strength. That said i am NOT a Paleo fan, it is a very generalized approach to nutrition that puts everyone in the same box. Supposedly based on the diet of early man but early mans diet varied widely based on geography and socialogical variables. There exists evidence that my people regularly ate breads and local grains
i just believe in living a healthy lifestyle would help ppl get into shape...if you eat healthy (the real healthy foods) and exercise you will be fit and happy...as for a very low carb (low starch)...well for some it works and for some it doesn't i believe in finding the right nutrition that "your" body needs to function...like for me i consume about 3500-5500 calories a day but its all clean healthy fats, starchy carbs (ALOT OF STARCHY CARBS), veggies, leans meats, and i'm super ripped and lean
