Here is a relevant and interesting article that was published on the ESPN website, all about the merits of the revolutionary Paleo Diet. Have a read:
There are plenty of guys in the NFL who are roughly 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds. But it was the fact that John Welbourn had 8 percent body fat that made the New England Patriots’ locker room take notice.
“When I was in New England [during the ’08 preseason] a bunch of the guys saw the way I ate and asked a lot of questions. So I ended up writing out some diet stuff for them,” Welbourn said. “They were pretty interested.”
As they should be.
Welbourn, a 10-year NFL veteran, had just introduced them to the Paleo Diet, more popularly referred to as the “Caveman Diet.” But don’t let the catchy name fool you — there’s plenty of science behind it.

If anyone is super keen to register for the RVM 8K (Thanksgiving) the early bird entry fees are $30 if you register by May 15th. I’ve created a team (CrossFit Zone) which you can join, it’s not as formal as the TC10K’s team challenge, but still fun.
If you register by July 15th the entry fee is $35, then $40 after that.
This WOD looks rough.
Oh darn… it is my rest day today 🙂 Scoots will you come in at 4:30pm to do the WOD so I can watch!
