I have been doing Crossfit for two years and I have always followed a standard high carb diet. Recently I started a Paleo challenge at my local box and I have noticed my recovery is much better but my intensity during the WODs has dropped.
I am trying to find that sweet spot where I am eating clean Paleo foods but still have enough glycogen for those high intensity metabolic conditioning sessions. I have been adding in more sweet potatoes and fruit but I am not sure if it is enough.
Does anyone else here do high intensity training on a Paleo or low carb plan? What are your favorite carb sources that are still Paleo friendly? I am looking for ways to keep my performance high without going back to processed grains and dairy.
