    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.

    Go to the Primal/Paleo Support Group. It gets stupid here. Unless you just want to hear how terrible and dangerous etc it is by people who know nothing about it and have never tried to eat a more biologically appropriate diet. Because everything in a box is the best food that we all should be eating. And the fact that most of society is fat/sick? Only because they lack "willpower". Nothing at all to do with the food we put in our bodies. :noway:

    Geez, it's not drugs. It's just food.

    I don't eat paleo, but I doubt it could be "highly detrimental." Overly and unnecessarily restrictive? Yes. Evil? No.

    Im having coffee with flavored milk right this second and i eat beans pretty much daily. Paleo would be a prison sentence for me. Others swear by it.

    If you enjoy rigid plans go for it-i have 10000000 other, more important things to concern myself over

    Thoughts?

    Do you really want someone to "prescribe" a diet for you, or would you rather eat foods you like? That's a question that I would ask myself. Since I don't have any health-related dietary restrictions, I just choose to eat what I like in moderation. I find that most sustainable and beneficial.
