Have you ever heard of "Paleo for Athletes?"
It's an eating plan I have been considering.
THE PALEO DIET
The basic premise of paleolithic nutrition is that certain foods are optimal for humans and others are nonoptimal. The optimal foods are those that we have been eating for most of our time on Earth—more than 4 million years. Only in the last 10,000 years, a mere blink of the eye relative to our species’ existence, have we been eating nonoptimal foods. Unfortunately, these foods comprise the bulk of what western society eats today and include such foods as grains, dairy and legumes. Given that our bodies have not changed, we are simply not welladapted to these nonoptimal foods and they moderate health and peak performance.
A critique of this diet is the amount of animal protien that is eaten, about 65%.
Just thinking about it.
I have a lazy mentality about food, I really need to focus on nutrition.
