Hey. Check out this press release from fellow Paleo Diet advocate and cookbook sponsor Nikki Young of Paleo Cookbook. Click here for the full unabridged interview that I had with Nikki a while back. I’m famous now, sorta. Well, not really, but I’m happy to share my experiences in hopes that others will catch on to the benefits of the diet and lifestyle. Grok on!

Awesome! 😀
Travis,I would agree that a STRICT Paleo Diet is difficult to tvrhie off of if you train heavy and with high intensity 3+ days a week. However, sweet potatoes (most tubers) are absolutely Paleo friendly (maybe there are some Paleo zealots who would argue that point, but I respectfully disagree with them). Now, keep in mind, I consider myself a hard-gainer , but I eat 4-8 medium sized sweet potatoes every week, typically post workout. Since starting to do this, I’ve been noticing significantly improved recovery.Thriving on a Paleo diet, while training like a beast, is about consume enough calories, and consuming them at the right times. I hit my carbs hard after my workouts, but I’m pretty sporadic with them for the rest of the day. I eat protein all throughout the day. There’s not a bad time for protein. Fats I eat pretty liberally throughout the day, but cut them back after my workouts.The real deal with the grains is that regardless of how they fuel you for a workout, they’re still probably reeking havoc inside your body. The real purpose (for most Paleo advocate) is not about better body composition, it is about a healthier body on the inside. The improved body composition is just an additional perk.As far as I’m concerned Travis, you’re not wrong (nor is anyone else wrong) for eating grains. We all have to make our own choices, prioritize what’s most important, and live lives that we can enjoy. Some people just can’t eat a Paleo diet and not be miserable for the things they have to give up.
