I have been eating Paleo for 10 months, my daughter has Celiac disease and eats mostly what we eat. None of us eat any sugars. I have observed in my case that I have experienced improved athletic performance without training. I have read other observations that people experience performance gains that are not necessarily associated with training effect. That is pretty cool in and of itself but I now have noted another phenomenon related to exercise. I do not have related muscle soreness after resuming an exercise or increasing intensity. My daughter decided she wanted six pack abs. So, she asked "would 100 sit ups twice a day do the trick." Based on what I have experienced over twenty years of exercising and experiencing the related effects, I thought it would probably work if she could survive the initial crippling pain. I would think that going from sedentary couch potato to 200 sit ups a day would be pretty tough. She has done 1000 sit ups in the last week and has not complained of any related stiffness or muscle pain. I don't read a lot about athletic performance except for how it impacts macronutrient consumption. Has anybody run across research related to Paleo eating and athletic performance? Is this something worthy of researching? Wayne H
