Will the real deal paleo please stand up???

14.2 drops at 5pm – we will have a test run at 6:30pm if you are interested.  For the first time in like, buy information pills forever, medicine I can’t make it due to work.  I’m going to do the WOD on Friday to test it out, shop homies.  My guess – a repeat of 12.3.
How to Eat a Plant Based Diet and Not Die of Malnutrition from CrossFit Invictus.  This is a decent article if you haven’t spent some time on the Paleo diet.
BUT…I was intrigued by the title because I thought there would be some additional insight besides “eat plants.”  There wasn’t.  I was curious about the “malnutrition” part as it effects performance.  When I have followed a paleo/primal diet, for the first couple of weeks I feel great.  As I continue to live the CrossFit lifestyle of challenging activity, I usually find it hard to fuel with carb sources and work in the gym suffers.  Adding fat helps, but I personally eat the same thing over and over – nuts and avocados.
That’s the main I reason I began following the Zone diet, as it forces you into a state of protein/carb/fat balance.
Is there anyone out there that follows a strict paelo diet, continues to have a ton of energy, and is just crushing it everyday?
