Paleo all the way!

Hi my name is Car from the Philippines. I discovered Paleo and Crossfit in 2011. From then on there was no turning back. I cooked my way to fitness, for me that’s the only way to stay healthy.

I’m also a Mountaineer, Boxer, Runner, Surfer, biker, and a coffee addict. I also have a Cat her name is Katniss.
Ok back to Paleo.

What is Paleo? (Paleolithic Diet or Cavaman Diet)

I eat real food – fresh, natural food like meat, vegetables and fruit. I choose foods that are nutrient-dense, with lots of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, over foods that have more calories but less nutrition. And food quality is important – I’m careful about where my meat, seafood and eggs come from, and buy organic local produce as often as possible.

This is not a “diet” – I eat as much as I need to maintain strength, energy, activity levels and a healthy body weight. I aim for well-balanced nutrition, so I eat both animals and a significant amount of plants. I’m not lacking carbohydrates – I just get them from vegetables and fruits instead of rice, bread, cereal or pasta. And my meals are probably higher in fat than you’d imagine, but fat is a healthy source of energy when it comes from high-quality foods like avocado, coconut and grass-fed beef.

Eating like this is ideal for maintaining a healthy metabolism and reducing inflammation within the body. It’s good for body composition, energy levels, sleep quality, mental attitude and quality of life. It helps eliminate sugar cravings and reestablishes a healthy relationship with food. It also works to minimize your risk for a whole host of lifestyle diseases and conditions, like diabetes, heart attack, stroke and autoimmune.

Paleo and CrossFit is now my lifestyle.
