Do I need to alter my eating habits?
Many crossfitness athletes combine their workouts with the Paleo Diet. While CrossFit provides core strength and conditioning, a healthy diet lays the nutritional foundation for true fitness. The “Paleo” (short for Paleolithic) diet is sometimes call the caveman or diet because it focuses on the raw, natural foods found when humans were hunter-gatherers. The diet consisting largely of wild plants and animals with few dairy products eaten.
What should I do if I have specific dietary restrictions or requirements?
You can still achieve improved health by reducing your caloric intake and eliminating refined and processed carbohydrates; proven to relate directly to coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer. If you get complex carbohydrates from vegetables and fruit, following the Paleo diet will control your insulin and hormonal levels which can improve your energy and performance during your CrossFit workout and throughout your day.
