The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet
Inspired by Robb Wolf’s new book and the training I’ve been receiving over the past 2 months at Crossfit Santa Clara and Crossfit Mountain View(By Alex Rollin and Jason Khalipa), I’ve decided to go for a 30 day paleo challenge. October is about to begin, so what better way to start the month than a start to healthier living. October has the World Series, 10/15, and Halloween. I couldn’t think of a better month to do this.
In truth, I’ve already begun mixing in paleo meals into my diet over the past few weeks. The trick now will be to eliminate the remaining meals and snacks that won’t be allowed. Milk, It’s It Ice Cream Sandwiches, peanut butter, beer, and everything else are all going to have to take the month off. A lot of these have good replacements within the Paleo world. I’ve taken a liking to both almond milk and almond butter, and ice cream and beer will just have to be gone without.
Two resources I will be taking advantage of to stay on track are The Whole 30 and Robb Wolf’s Quick Start Guide. Robb and Whole 9 have also cooperated on a Fish Oil calculator that I’ve been using recently.
So far I’ve done a good job of putting some meals together that you can see here and here.
So wish me luck. At the end of the month I have two events that I am looking forward to. One is the Silicon Valley 5K on October 31st, and the other is the Amazing Grace fundraiser on October 30th. If you would like to donate to a great cause, you can visit my fundraising page here.
