Paleo Diet

[deaksie]

Anyone tried the paleo diet? it's supposed to give you massive performance gains and muscle build.
My dentist (a ultra-triathlon junkie) is evangelistic about it.
Any thoughts?

I've met a couple of nutritionist/dietician types who've recommended it.

Not tried it but I am, in principle, interested in the thinking behind it.

Personally, I think it's a bridge too far and one could have a 'modern' diet (for want of a better word) that delivered the same nutritional advantages. There's no need to go all in when recognising the benefits of eating as we once did.

Nor, for that matter, rejecting the good in the way we eat today.
