The challenge was good for my family. For me, the challenge gave an opportunity to jump start on paleo. My family is eating paleo dinners, and my wife is becoming more of a fan every day. We’re learning new recipes and are gradually transitioning old favorites to paleo. I enjoy the wholesomeness of the meals and literally have no “bad” cravings; it’s easy to stick with it.
Pre-challenge, I didn’t eat enough fat and didn’t really know what to eat to optimize training. Today, I’m way up on training volume, feeling better, and understand how to eat to improve as an athlete. In short, if I ate the way I was pre-challenge, I wouldn’t be capable of the training volume I’m doing today.
