    Really good if you maintain the CrossFit lifestyle - near impossible if you aren't a daily gym rat though.

    Giving up legumes is stupid. Better advice is "eat more legumes"

    I don't feel it is an ideal diet for anyone who doesn't know the micronutrition in the foods they are going to consume on the diet.

    I tried the Whole 30 for fun and to try. Wasn't for me. Did more research after reading the 'It Starts With Food' book and found the science behind it not as convincing. Some people have had great success, other have not. I, myself, would not recommend it but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try it for yourself. It is VERY expensive though so be prepared for that.

    I don't follow strict paleo, but I am keen to understand why you need to be a gym rat for it to be possible?

    It simply means you reall need to understand the content of what you're putting into your body, and why. Paleo is strict, and if you're not well educated on why you're eating what you're eating then it could be very detrimental. Matter of fact, any diet is NOT an ideal diet for anyone who doesn't know the mitronutrition in the foods they are going to consume on the diet.

    Beans, pulses, peas, lentils, peanuts, cashews.

    It is a very healthy way to alter one's diet, but moreso it is altering one's lifestyle. I highly recommend going to crossfit.com, paying the small fee to get access to the Crossfit Journal (I thin it is $25 for a year?), and spend a lot of time reviewing the material on Paleo. They have excellent articles, podcast/radio clips, and even videos all specific to the Paleo lifestyle. Excellent commentary on how it has assisted the level of effort the athletes can put forth during their WODs, too. Keep in mind that the Crossfit community is there because they focus on living a very healthy lifestyle, and Paleo is just one part of it.
