Paleo Diet are we still Hunter Gatherers at Heart?

Jan. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- CrossFit Norwest, RAW strength and conditioning and Barefoot Evolution is announcing the the Paleo Slim down challenge for 2010.

The Paleo diet takes todays homosapiens back to out prehistoric paleolithic ancestors diet. Humans have evolved little over many many thousands of years yet our agriculture has evolved immensly. With this agricultural change many conditions previously unknown are also evolving, ADHD, ceoliac, gluten and wheat intolerance. These were not an issue to our ancestors.

Our life expectancy has increased but not because of your evolution or our diet changes. It is because we live in a vastly different environment to our ancestors. our ancestors were chased by bears, saber tooth tigers, slept in caves in freezing conditions. They were subject to extreme environments not to sickness and disease. They ate what they could grow, catch or kill! not wheat, diary, legumes they were all athletes!

At CrossFit Norwest, RAW strength and conditioning and Barefoot Evolution there will be a seminar on the paleo diet on January 18 at 630 pm. This will be one week prior to the start of the offical Paleo Challenge for 2010. All contestants are in the running for cash prizes by sticking to the diet for 7 weeks and showing changes in body composition.

Contestants will have to submit food diaries and be accountable for everything that goes into their mouth!!! Do not start the year slack. Join in get fit and live long!!
