I don't usually use the term Paleo diet as the idea has been around for a very long time and "paleo diet" is just the latest marketing nonsense. They also make up all kinds of mythological, historical stories to support the concept, that hasn't really stood up to the historical or scientific research. That said, the diet concept itself is very effective and usually improves most markers of health, often dramatically. Years ago, long before the term paleo diet was coined, we used to call the it the "dead animals and green stuff" diet. Many old time trainers and health practitioners have been prescribing this diet over the last century. It comes in and out of vogue like everything else.

The same goes for crossfit, it's nothing new, just a new marketing package. There are some aspects of it that are very useful and some that are outright dangerous.

My Crossfit affiliate is doing a 60 diet challenge in which I am participating and I was wondering if anyone else had tried it or moved more towards it as a lifestyle.
