thanks for a great response, thats what i was looking for.  i really like the way ive been feeling lately with even lower carbs than a normal paleo, i have basically cut out fruit and kept a few veggies and i don't really want to introduce any carbs in or around the workout like the CKD or TKD suggest.  i suppose i may just cut back to a 2 on 1 off schedule and be happy until maybe i adapt or something we'll see.

I wish i could start a raw animal diet but i just don't think it is feasible now.  I don't really have an option to buy quality meats, only grocery store stuff and being in college when classes start up dining halls only have cooked food, but i will stay paleo, i love it.

thanks for your help

hey guys im new to the forum and have been following the original paleo diet by cordain for a while and have just been introduced to the raw paleo a couple months ago along with the idea of essentially zero carbs.

Crossfit has been my workout regimen for almost 7 months now and i have read various posts on their site about the incompatibility of zero carb diets and crossfit workouts.  I am wondering if any of you have experience with this and crossfit.

personally i have experienced similar energy levels but MUCH longer recovery time.  is this normal?  it seems that to not overwork myself i have to go 2 on 1 off schedule because by the third day im so sore i can't move.  It is worth noting I consider myself in pretty good shape, i could follow the 3/1 schedule easily before i went basically zero carb.

any anecdotal testimonies would be greatly appreciated

thanks.
