PALEO POTLUCK
Hosted by San Mateo Team Elite Saturday, Aug. 27, 2011
The First Annual Paleo Potluck is the only Paleo-based nutrition fundraiser of its kind with the goal of bringing together CrossFit gyms from across the Bay Area for a day of friendly competition and delicious Paleo cooking. It’s a celebration of community, creative nutrition, and most importantly, healthy living. All money raised will go directly to the Mid-Peninsula Boys and Girls Clubs to support healthy lifestyles through Sports, Fitness and Recreation programs.
Register to compete in
our friendly WODs and Paleo cooking challenges. Prizes awarded to the
strongest and tastiest participants!
Get the skinny on Paleo nutrition
from our panel of experts. They’ll be here to share Paleo tips, recipes and why
you should throw your 12 grain bread away immediately.
And for those of you who keep
trying to explain “Why Paleo?” and “Why CrossFit?” to all your friends, bring
them along so they can experience it first hand and see the actual results.
Spend the day working out, eating delicious food and bonding with community! All for a great cause!
We look forward to seeing you there!

About the Paleo Diet
Since CrossFit communities are dedicated individuals who are passionate about health, fitness and being a part of a positive community, eating according to a Paleo plan is part of the package. Most CrossFitters find that once they switch to a Paleo diet, the changes in their mind, body and attitude are incredible. Paleo, short for paleolithic, is an aggregate term describing a collection of dietary and fitness guidelines that are developed based on theories of human evolution. It covers names like Caveman Diet and Stone Age Diet. A Paleo diet, being relatively low in carbohydrates, is in some regards similar to the Atkins Diet or the South Beach Diet.
The Paleo diet is built on a few key principles: only eat foods that can be picked or hunted in nature, avoid foods that cannot be eaten raw, and prefer meat products from animals fed their natural food. Paleo eaters also avoid sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and refined seed and vegetable oils; avoid grains (particularly wheat), legumes (particularly soy), and starchy tubers (such as potatoes); and focus on eating natural fats like butter, coconut oil and lard.
