Those who are dedicated to Crossfit strive for a lean, muscular physique. Those who adhere to a Paleo lifestyle consume foods that give them the best advantage to be lean and muscular. The chefs at Evolve Paleo can’t think of a better match out there, besides peanut butter and jelly (on Paleo bread, of course!). The two lifestyles are so complementary that most CrossFitters begin the Paleo diet after they hear about it in their CrossFit classes. If you’re doing CrossFit, you’re pushing your body to its limits, burning through countless calories per workout. You need to supply, or resupply, your body with the fuel it needs to keep up with the vigorous workouts. The Paleo diet is the perfect complement to the Crossfit lifestyle, since it emphasizes high protein and fiber consumption and forbids dairy and refined sugars that hinder weight loss and slow down workouts.

CrossFit advocates workouts that focus on using the body and basic weights, or everyday objects, like tires, to gain muscle. It develops skills that are universally beneficial, and avoids specialty machines that are in many gyms. You can do CrossFit by yourself, guided by exercises online, or you can search your local area for CrossFit classes or gyms. Those who have adopted a true Paleo lifestyle, which includes CrossFit, have noticed fat loss all over their bodies, benefits to their immune system, and love that they’re always feeling full (source).

The Paleo diet does not require followers to count calories, as it’s mostly about the quality of the food, not the quantity. Many find out that they are also much more energized and can make their CrossFit workouts longer and more intense.
