Running and Nutrition: Alisher Yakupov of paleodiete

Among the runners-lovers, marathon runners and triathletes ultramarafontsev so many vegetarians and vegans a little less (otnesom, perhaps, the same category fruitarian and raw foodists), but people interested in more meat and protein diet, we've seen so far is not so lot. We decided not to simply collect useful data on diet and nutrition in general, but also to give examples of stories of real people-runners who eat a certain way.

And opens our heading Alisher Yakupov - runner fascinated paleodietoy. Alisher not just run - as the interval and strength training, he chose CrossFit, so the choice of this option has a certain power base.

To start with a little help:

Paleolithic diet (paleodieta, Stone Age diet, the diet of hunter-gatherers) - a modern approach to food, consisting mainly of plants and animals based on the alleged ancient feeding people during the Paleolithic - the historical period of 2.5 million years, which ended 10 000 years ago.

This diet is popular among fitness trainers, those who actively engaged in CrossFit, and those who simply love to eat meat, but do not like constantly calculate the amount of food eaten in the mind. Moreover, most of the products does not contain harmful substances.

So we asked, Alisher, why he decided to go on this diet and how it affects the results of the training and its state of health.

- Why did you decide to go it on paleodietu? What or who inspired you and prompted such thoughts?

- My former colleague became interested in CrossFit and the Paleo. With the help of these techniques has changed beyond recognition itself, be cast online manager, opened CrossFit box and became really cool guy. When I learned more about the principles of the Paleo, I realized that they coincide with my hell zamorochennoy system of values ​​and needs of the organism. I went to a painful birth, childhood on tablets, problems with joints and cartilage and terrible allergies. Therefore the question of the quality of food for me is important not only ideologically, but also functional. A principle underlying paleodiety, very easy to understand and use. Over the past several thousand years, people have greatly changed eating habits, but from an evolutionary point of view, people have not changed. Biologically, we are the same Paleolithic Homo sapiens, which the progress of technology and generously rewarded with cancer, diabetes, obesity, allergies, and so on. N. Therefore, it is necessary to have as ancestors ate: organic meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries - and everything will be zashib. And yet I am impressed by the image of Neo wakes up on canned food factory. Industrial food production is growing on two factors.

The first factor - laziness. The desire to get more calories with less time and energy.

Second - unconsciousness, desire to pay less conscious attention to this issue lowlands as food. Food industry in the light of these factors appears as a response to brood lazy humanity. It took cheap calories, the need to store them, to transport, to play. Beautiful goal - to feed all the cheap nourishing food, to make it not perishable and ready-to-use, comfortable and brightly packaged, put on eye level, add all the things that last studies have found it useful and safe, to enhance the taste, do a little bit sweeter... But this food every year is running out of what, in fact, it was food for millions of human years old. Not far off the day when, thanks to the technology press and unwillingness to leave the store, we will print a meal at home on your printer from the cylinders to the proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They will first be brought on Monday, and then will be connected as utilities, along with TV and sanitation.

By the way, industrial production of food now is not much different from these printers. What am I? In addition, that the use of normal human food has now become a sign of awareness of the presence at the human brain and a certain factor "chosen people", although octopus such as "Nestle", "Unilever" and other "Procter-Gamble", doing everything that we thought the contrary, and sailed along the shelves of supermarkets, raking in truck trash. Letting a such thoughts, I want to run into the woods and hunt with a bow on a partridge. Maybe someday I'll do this and, as long as even a small victory in the battle with the "post-industrial food matrix" bring the joy of real food knowledge. Fights, incidentally, come with varying degrees of success. A week ago, I knew it was time to give up sports supplements. I tried a new one - three days of allergy and travel in an ambulance with flashing lights. Now I will run with dates in your pockets.

- Have you tried before any diet?

- when he decided to part with the 20 pounds of fat, using a calorie restricted diet. It was then that he began to read the labels on the packaging, and before I began to realize that they have more incomprehensible garbage than food.

- Find the right meat is now quite difficult. Did you find your seats? And if not a secret, as it is expensive - to sit on this diet?

- I take it from the local farmers proven lamb, goat and rabbits. Vegetables and fruits - on the market. Berries and nuts can be bought almost anywhere. The mission more difficult. I eat in checked restaurants and try to choose the most simple dishes, looking at who can see what and who they were before they became food.

- Do share your diet wife? If so, whether she went to talk?

- No, she almost does not eat meat and eggs, can not stand the sight of blood, never cut up the carcass. Rehabilitation is painful and is not instantaneous. Meeting with reality - is generally a shocking experience for millenialov and sympathizers. According to the results of the study do not remember, many American students believe that the burgers from the "McDonald's" grow on trees. And when it turns out that in order to eat cutlets, it is necessary to cow several years to walk through meadows, then kill, cut and scroll down... I'm not in the village grew, and when he first ordered the sheep and to me the whole of the dead brought to the table and put in the living room... Over time, used, understood and "unnamed" mincemeat from the supermarket, of course, and now never again have not I want to.

- What do you chose for itself as a snack during long races (if there are such, of course). And what do you prefer to restore their strength after a workout?

- I looked in the direction of dates and bananas. I want to try to make their bars with nuts and dried fruits like Bite and Clifbar.

- And most importantly, do you feel positive changes in his state of health? Does this diet on your sports performance?

- In order to avoid self-hypnosis (and I sometimes happens), and be a little objective, when switching to a paleo I gathered a group of paleonavtov experimenters, and we are on a month by Zaruba complete. With the feedback from the participants can be available here. The body first surprised halt the flow of useless calories and sugar, and then begins to rebuild and bodret.

What I noticed at one month: reduction in the percentage of fat, increase muscle, worsening of taste and smell, improve mood and energy.

But in general I'm not a professional athlete, and I have no purpose to improve their performance on a monthly basis. I run both ran, but do not eat cakes. :) I think the advantage here should be considered in a more distant future.
