It’s a bit wordy and scientific, but read it. I tell people time and again that diet is an individual process, and what works for one person may not work for another. This article hits the nail on the head. Robb Wolf is one of the leading proponents of the Paleo diet and is well known around the CrossFit community. He knows his stuff. Poke around his blog some, it is full of great information. For further chats about diet, performance, and weight loss feel free to talk to me, I’m always available.

If you missed part 1 and part 2 make sure to check those out.

Bully for them, and this is precisely why we need to not only research LC, but be willing to pull it out of the tool box and give it a whirl. While we are doing that though, let’s remember we have other tools, and situations in which LC simply is not going to be appropriate. No need to get poopy pants over all that, better to just learn and grow. . .
