Subject: RE: Paleo Diet I've been looking into this topic and have found quite a lot of endurance athletes go Paleo in everything except training/race nutrition. Paleo is something that I have toyed with but I don't deal well with negative reinforcement (you can't eat that ) which is a personal thing for me.
One thing I am finding is going for the Low-Carb Diet option is really paying off and I am starting to lose weight and I feel great (that wasn't meant to rhyme in a cheesy way ). I haven't done any longer sessions using purely gels yet but I'm interesting to see how that goes. There is a great market for someone to produce a 'Paleo-friendly' fuel during longer training or events. Maybe it isn't possible?
Anyway if anyone is interested I have put a few more of my findings on my site which has the aim of raising as much sponsorship as I can for Scope up to the running for IMUK 2014. http://www.ironcrab.com/2014/01/paleo-low-carb-diet-for-ironman-uk-...
