Some friends have commented that they really wanted to make a full CrossFit lifestyle change but the food choices were, well, too radical. What this typically refers to is the discrimination against the crusty bread and wheat in general.
I’m not about to enter the scientific debate about the addictive nature of wheat and the the definition of exogenous morphine found in it. I just acknowledge that for some, it is harder to give up than anything else…
My advice to friends has been to ease into Paleo before those radical bits are required, like first giving up the less addictive parts…
One such easier path I have seen work well is the following. Move up the list at your pace.
1) Drop all sugar (Get over it. Use sweeteners if you must)
2) Trade in your starches for veggies (potatoes need to go. Eat more protein)
3) Get rid of high omega-6 seed/nut oils (use coconut or olive oil and animal fats)
4) Wheat and grains must go (it is time. Eat more veggies and more protein)
5) Soy and legumes, bye-bye (eat hundreds of other kinds of veggies)
Find your own path. Do your research. Yes, you can get off the wheat-drug…
