The CrossFit Dietary Prescription

  • Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruits, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. -Greg Glassman
  • Finely tuned, a good diet will increase health, energy and sense of well being while reducing fat, packing on muscle and optimizing physical performance. Diet is critical to optimizing human function and CrossFit believes that Barry Sears' "Zone Diet" closely models optimal nutrition. CrossFit's best performers are on the Zone diet. The Zone diet accelerates and amplifies the effects of the CrossFit regimen.

Check out this very interesting article that Mike found.  The basic idea is that the physiology of the human species has not evolved as fast as the western diet.  The article has evidence to support that the increase in common present day "disease" (heart disease, obesity, diabetes, etc) can be linked to the mismatch in human physiology and the western diet.
