A breakthrough nutrition strategy for optimum athletic performance,
weight loss and peak health based on the Stone Age diet humans were
designed to eat.
Paleo-style diets are all the rage as fitness enthusiasts, including the
booming nation of CrossFitters, have adopted high protein,
low-processed-food diets to fuel their exercise. It all began with the
publication of the book The Paleo Diet by renowned scientist Loren
Cordain, Ph.D., who presented a breakthrough plan for weight loss and
disease prevention without dieting or exercising. In 2005, Dr. Cordain
joined with endurance coach Joe Friel to write The Paleo Diet for
Athletes.
Now, the authors offer an updated and revised edition of The Paleo Diet
for Athletes specifically targeting runners, triathletes, and other
serious amateur athletes. Cordain and Friel show that by using the foods
our bodies were designed to eat--protein, fruits and vegetables, healthy
fats and even some saturated fats--anyone can achieve total-body fitness
and dramatically improve the strength and cardiovascular efficiency.
The Paleo Diet for Athletes gives specific guidelines for what to eat
before, during and after a workout or competition along with simple,
tasty recipes packed with power and wholesome ingredients.
