PALEO FOOD PYRAMID

USDA FOOD PYRAMID

Currently, more than 64% of US adults are either overweight or obese, according to results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

CrossFit’s philosophy about the way we should eat was instilled upon us by the Caveman and Dr. Sears. There are 2 main focuses- What we eat- the Paleolithic Diet (Paleo) and How we eat- The Zone. It breaks down to this: If you eat organic foods that the cavemen had access to thousands of years ago in correct portions as to ensure hormonal balance, then your body will run more efficiently, you will have more energy and many medical problems prevalent in the typical Western diet will be held at bay.
