More details about the why’s and how’s of transitioning to primal-style eating. Beyond the Paleolithic rationale, sugars and grains are bad for you, period. Even if you are at optimal body fat, there is no justification to ever consume nutrient-devoid refined carbohydrates.

Gordo Byrn (Family, Fitness, Finances) epic soundbite “If you need sports nutrition, you’ve maximized your cardio benefits and are possibly risking your health and immune function.” The big secret to going primal is to liberally consume more natural, nutritious fats that provide high satiety and help you become better at burning fat. Make a firm 21-day commitment because sugar and wheat have serious addictive properties.
