center not only offers its members customizable
workouts but also nutritional planning and even
pre-made meals. Instead of diets or strict calorie
counting, which can drain energy and cause bad
habits, CrossFit Norwalk recommends the paleo
approach to eating and offers some free recipes
and resources on its nutrition page:

?menu=start&page=nutrition.

3. The paleo diet, sometimes called the caveman
diet, is loosely based on the principle that eating
unprocessed foods, such as what our prehistoric
ancestors ate, provides more nutrients and
promotes the body’s natural digestive processes.
Unlike most diets, on the paleo diet there is no
strict set of rules for what to eat or how much.
The general guidelines are to eat unprocessed,
natural foods such as grass-fed meats, seafood,
vegetables, fruits and nuts.

4. Although the list of foods is not strict, and most
paleo dieters agree that a little bit of variance is
acceptable, some foods should be avoided.
Grains, dairy, sugar, legumes, polyunsaturated
fats, and anything processed go against the
paleo lifestyle. For example, instead of
vegetable oil use coconut oil or olive oil; instead
of sugared drinks, drink water or eat fresh fruit.
Essentially, anything that could be found by a
traditional hunter-gatherer is preferable, under
the logic that these are the foods humans are
naturally evolved to digest the best.
