Chapter 1: Paleo diet smoothies for strength training and muscle building
“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon” – Doug Larson
The current US Department of Agriculture (USDA) healthy eating guidelines promote a balanced daily diet consisting of 60 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent fats, and 10 percent protein. Switching from USDA recommendations to a Paleo diet will generally lead to an increase in your overall protein and fat intake and a drop in your overall carbohydrate intake. However, your main sources of carbohydrates will be fruits and vegetables, meaning that you will gain a plentiful supply of healthful micro-nutrients, and your main sources of protein and fats will be lean meats with low levels of saturated fat, and fish with high levels of omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Chapter 2: Paleo Fuel SourcesPaleo “purists” eat only foods which can be hunted, fished or gathered. Foods include meat, offal, seafood, eggs, insects, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs and spices. Excluded foods include grains, legumes – beans and peanuts – dairy products, refined sugar, salt and processed oils. However, other Paleo-based diets include “modern” foods which were not available to our cavemen ancestors but support the macronutrient composition of a Paleolithic diet none-the-less. These foods include milk and dairy products, rice, potatoes and some processed oils such as olive oil or canola oil. A Paleo-based diet can be summarized as a diet revolving around the consumption of “real” foods; quality protein and fat in moderation, unlimited vegetables, limited fruits, and the avoidance of all refined carbohydrates and grains containing gluten.

Chapter 3: Paleo smoothies
Copyright © 2012 Lars Andersen
Smoothies provide the perfect way to increase your useable protein intake, boost your healthy fat intake and top up your glycogen stores, keeping you energized and ready to maximize your performance in every training session. Resistance training creates microscopic damage in your muscles and it’s the natural repair and regeneration process that leads to increases in muscle size and strength. A green smoothie made with a combination of fruits and green leafy vegetables can give you a nutritional boost, providing carbohydrates to fuel training and protein to fuel recovery. Adding milk or yogurt from grass-fed sources provides additional protein, with milk containing higher levels of useable protein than meat. The addition of further ingredients such as nuts and seeds can also boost the protein content and provide variety in terms of flavor and texture.

Chapter 4: The Benefits Of Smoothies For Strength Training
Copyright © 2012 Lars Andersen
Building muscle and developing strength and power is all about progressively overloading your muscles to promote adaptation. Using an appropriate training plan, the more your body is asked to do, the more it becomes able to do; your body adapts to the repeated demands being placed upon it.A carbohydrate-rich smoothie can provide a pre-training boost to your glycogen stores and a glycogen replenishing “recovery” boost after an intense training session. Any combination of fruits in a smoothie will provide energy-giving carbohydrates so your choice is a matter of personal taste. The antioxidant properties of many fruits can also help to reduce the effects of muscular damage generated through training. As a general guide, fruits with orange or dark yellow flesh provide a good source of beta-carotene, and fruits with red flesh offer a good source of lycopene. The combination of beta-carotene and lycopene is thought to be very effective in terms of protecting your body against free radicals.

Chapter 5: General information about your smoothies
Copyright © 2012 Lars Andersen
A Paleo-based diet is essentially a diet which revolves around consuming moderate amounts of meat, moderate amounts of fruit and unlimited amounts of vegetables.
Becoming a Paleo-fuelled cyclist can be summarized as follows:
• Eat only real food – buy locally grown, fresh, organic produce whenever possible.• Do not eat any processed or refined carbohydrates – avoid sugar, flour, pasta, bread and candy. Eat fruits for sweet flavors or honey occasionally if your activity levels require an extra energy boost.• Eat plenty of high quality fat – sources include meat, eggs, avocado and also dairy if you choose to include it. Avoid processed oils and industrial meats, and eat nuts in moderation to help keep a healthy omega-3 and omega-6 balance.• Eat only high quality meat – buy grass-fed or wild sources whenever possible; organ meats provide cost-effective sources of quality protein.• Tailor your non-refined carbohydrate intake to match your activity levels – eat as many starchy vegetables as you like, potatoes and sweet potatoes in moderation, rice or quinoa only when energy demands are high, and avoid all grains containing gluten.
