I've realized how much of an idiot I've been.Doing Paleo while also including CrossFit workouts I won't be able to sustain myself, let alone build.
Ill still attempt to cut down on processed foods, but I doubt giving up grains completely is a good idea...
And a glass of chocolate milk after practice always make me feel better :p
Is there any specific diet I should follow by name, or just some controlled diet you guys can advise me on?
im trying to merge my swimming and CrossFit so I'll be doing CrossFit Basics again 3 times a week which is just simple movements like push-ups, but they're still pretty high intensity which is what I think I need. That is until I can build up to Level I again.
I ontop of doing Basics 3 times a week will be doing 2 hours of swimming 4 times a week, with meets on Saturday.I can't really comment on the intensity since its beginning of season, but lets assume that it's a decently difficult swim board.
How much should I be sleeping as well?
I've never really been too serious about swimming, I've been dedicated to the sport itself, but I want to really do whatever I can outside the pool to help.

It's more simple than it seems, maybe fads rely on the complexity.
Balanced diet: fresh variety of fruits and vegetables several times a day, protein for function and to sustain, fats and complex sugars (fruits, grains, wine, etc) for energy and vitality. If your loosing weight or strength, increase the calories accordingly.
I go through about a 16 oz jar of organic peanut butter (without sugar)
every day or two to suppliment my meals. For just $5 you get 2940 calories, and in an ideal quality:
100g protein
224 of high energy fat
28g of fiber.
If protein supplementation is accepted, it can be convenient too.
What type of swimming do you focus on (i.e. distance, triathlon, sprinting, mid distance, fitness)?
i do a few sprints (100s) and a few mid distances such as 200s. I also do the occasional mile and some long distances.
Ive realized I just need a lot of common sense in diet, I'll try and substitute what I need for swimming purposes into a nice clean dirt.
thanks!
