I eat mostly meat protein, some carbs (about 30% of my diet or less) and 3 times the amount of fat that is recommended (in the Zone). I am 44 years old.
One year ago, my bench press was 45#. Today it is 95#.
One year ago, my mile sprint was 10:00. Today it is 6:54.
One year ago, my 5K was 30:40. Today it is 21:14.
One year ago, my deadlift was 95#. Today it is 215#.
I ran my first marathon in 4:21:24--no carbo loading outside of some extra fruit.
As I am a CrossFitter, most everyone I know who performs on an elite level adheres to the Paleo Diet advised by Loren Cordain.
My results are typical. NONE of us carbo load.

How do you eat 3 times the fat os Zone diet if you're following Cordain's version of paleo diethttp://forum.lowcarber.org/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=7919442#, since he advices LEAN meats only?
