NBA Superstars Going Primal

NBA Superstar Blake Griffin, is apparently trying the paleo diet. As described in this CBS article, "Griffin, who once looked constrained to a career as a mere provider of dunk highlights, has developed a level of seriousness about his game and preparation that has put loftier accomplishments within reach. As Paul kept feeding Griffin for dunks, you had a Synergy geek passing to a 23-year-old freak of nature who cares so much about nutrition and fitness that he has embarked on a 100-day Paleo Diet challenge with his manager, Atlanta-based Lorne Clark. For the uninitiated, that means he’s cut out sugar, processed foods, dairy and all grains except rice. 'It’s just kind of like a dedication thing," Griffin said. "I just wanted to see if I could do it.'"

Kobe Bryant seems to be adopting primal as well. LA Lakers trainer Gary Vitti says that the staples of Kobe’s diet include pasture based foods like grassfed beef and eggs from free-range chickens. Kobe makes every effort to avoid anything with corn syrup and his carbohydrate consumption has been scaled down to a very moderate level.

"Focusing on getting traditional fats into his diet and the wrong fats out is of prime importance to Kobe. Vitti described the dangers of following a lowfat diet and why Kobe is not following the USDA Food Pyramid – in fact, he’s following the inverse."

I hope it was the paleo diet that lets Blake Griffin do things like this:
