Paleo Diet Going Mainstream?
I awoke this morning surprised to find an article on The Paleo Diet in my small hometown Sunday newspaper. It would be nice to see The Paleo diet go a little more mainstream. Imagine the number of folks that stand to benefit significant improvements in overall health from following a diet of grass-fed meat, veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starches, no grains, and no sugar. Improvements in over all bio-markers of health that I know occur from my own personal experiences (see my blog post “Robb Wolf: Paleo Nutrition Guru” and “Large, Fluffy and Buoyant Can Be A Good Thing!” )!
More “Paleo Diet” articles showing up in common places:
- Article From the Sacramento Bee featured in today’s Ocala Health and Fitness Section: “With the Paleo Diet, prehistoric food no longer thing of the past“
- 2010 May/June issue of Psychology Today feature story on The Paleo Diet: “The Way We Were - Our bodies are best adapted to what our Paleolithic ancestors ate and that’s food for our brains as well.”
- From the Washington Post in January 2010: “Paleolithic diet is so easy, cavemen actually did it”
- The New York Times January 2010 article: The New Age Cavemen and the City
- The Huffington Post February 2010 article: Is It Healthier To Eat Like A Caveman?
- 2010 April issue of Woman’s World Magazine features The Paleo Diet success story of Eva La Rue from CSI Miami

Cheryl, I hope this message finds you well. I think we all at one point had an aha moment about why we do the things we love to do. When I first came upon CrossFit I knew that my world would be turned upside down. I’ve learned so much and am so grateful for the people like you that make my fitness journey such an exciting one. I honestly do what I do and strive to become better at what I do because of genuine people like yourself. Take pride and be passionate about what you do and how you do it. Get comfortable with uncomfortable is a theme we’ve chosen here at OPT, because we believe that getting into this uncomfortable zone unfolds many life lessons. Here’s hoping you teach others about this, make it happen, all the best.
Cheryl,
It says here that Cheryl has a new blog. I say, it's about damn time. Cheryl has been accumulating knowledge and experience about the serious side of exercise for a while now, and I can't think of a better ambassador for barbell training to women who typically refuse to consider its benefits. One look at Cheryl dispells any apprehensions they may have regarding the aesthetic effects, and she is quite capable of explaining the health and fitness advantages to this group of folks in desparate need of a better way to approach their exercise prescription.
