This video describes the rationale and philosophy behind eating as our ancestors did and provides me and hopefully you with a way to tell others why it makes sense.
My workout log for the last 19 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here.

The Paleo Diet and Crossfit: A Match Made in Heaven?
I started my journey with the Paelo Diet 15 days ago and wanted to share my thoughts. It has been a great change of pace for me as I have been following the Anabolic Diet (low carb Monday- Friday...High Carb Saturday and Sunday) for about five years. My diet did not include hardly any fruits and vegetables and was punctuated with alot of junk on the weekends. This worked for me (weight wise as I lost almost 40 pounds) and made life easy on the weekends but I don't know how "healthy" it was for me internally.
I have felt great over the last two weeks and have not cheated once. Furthermore I have not really been tempted to cheat. "Cheating" for me now consists of having a few handfuls of raisins and some whey protein powder after I work out. I am focused on improving my recovery time after training so I can improve my strength and strength-endurance during my training.
Below is a good interview on The Paelo Diet and Crossfit. I hope you find in informative.

Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk
Not only is this a great metaphor for life in general, but it is also 100% TRUE.
Don’t cry over spilled milk… or any other dairy products, because you shouldn’t be ingesting it anyway.
Read on if you are interested in why: Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk!

No Training & Paelo Diet Observations....
I am taking today off from training. I plan on doing Crossfit tomorrow and kettlebell work on Saturday. The Paelo Diet is going well so far. I feel good and have been pretty strict. I am anxious to see how it effects my performance and recovery.
The most glaring aspect of the diet was the fact that some foods (all the ones I was eating) make your blood too acidic. This causes your body to try and counteract the acidity by stripping muscle and bone from your body. Seriously?? Not Good. I have been doing this for at least 5 years by following the Anabolic Diet.
Oh well, experience is the result of learning from your actions and correcting them accordingly.
