By now you may have seen the LeBron James photo of him looking very slim. It is said that he may be following the Paleo lifestyle. A lot of critics aren’t sure why, an athlete in such great physical condition would adopt such a lifestyle, but as a follower myself, I don’t see the problem. It’s a protein rich diet that can help athletes maintain optimum performance levels by lowering the wear and inflammation on their bodies and joints. When someone eats clean-limit carbs, consume lean meats, healthy fats, and absolutely cut out ALL processed foods-it will cause the body to go into a catabolic state, which means our body is naturally burning it’s own fat instead of glucose for fuel.
A lot of athletes and celebs practice Paleo. It accelerates weight loss, reduces blood pressure, prevents diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer. For athletes on Paleo, they usually adapt it to their needs. They add more starchy carbs. Paleo also helps with recovery.
She’s friends with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and she also does Paleo… It’s Megan Fox! Yes, her good looks and fit body are a product of Paleo. She avoids alcohol, dairy, and all refined carbs. Six months after giving birth, she dropped 23lbs. Also, Jack Osbourne, who has MS, adopted the Paleo lifestyle, and he claims it helps treat it.
“When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you.”

To become a fat burner you may have to limit excessive lean meats like chicken breast. Loads of protein through gluconeogenesis will be turned into carbohydrates (glucose). This is especially true if you are trying to reach ketosis.
