From basketball stars like Kobe Bryant to golf pros like Phil Mickelson, the popular Paleo diet has become the choice for athletes seeking energy, health, and weight loss. But does the low-carb caveman diet really provide the right nutrition for a winning performance on the basketball court or golf course?
Yes, Mickelson's pro-Paleo trainer Sean Cochran told CBS Sports.
"Phil's basically following a paleo diet, which is gluten-free, no sugars and no processed foods. I think it's how we were designed to eat. You have to wonder how a Twinkie can have a five year shelf life. That can't be good for your performance."
