With Paleo growing in popularity, you may have wondered how long it would take for professional athletes to catch on. Reports are beginning to leak of just this. Below are a few articles from recent months about professional athletes eating Paleo:

• Why Olympian Amanda Beard and other athletes are switching to Paleo
• Steve Nash is still an NBA All-Star at age 37. He and 38-year-old teammate Grant Hill try to only eat things that have been around for 50,000 years or more. I guess they’re not Creationists. Check out Steve Nash and the Paleo Diet
  (note: Nash does not expressly identify his diet as Paleo, but seems to follow the same guidelines)
• Former NFL offensive lineman (and current CrossFit owner) John Welbourne details his journey towards the Paleo diet
• Elite Mountain Biker Greg Parham talks about his competitive advantage of Paleo.
