I’ve had a really great experience with Paleo and it has impacted just about every aspect of my life, both personally and professionally. I studied Naturopathy in the early 90’s including 4 years of nutrition. Although there was an emphasis on organics and wholefoods we were still essentially taught through the model of the grain dominant food pyramid.
Paleo nutrition is a central tenet in our sport of fitness and many box owners are now incorporating Paleo Challenges to their calendar of events on a regular basis. If you’re wondering how to get one going you don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Twelve Paleo Challenges and hundreds of athletes later a clear structure and some stunning results have emerged.
As CrossFit athletes we know the importance of good nutrition. It is the foundational layer of the CrossFit pyramid and many of us will have participated in a Paleo Challenge or Whole 30 at our box. We have a comprehension of the importance of clean food and of keeping out the processed foods that clog our cells.
