If I'd kept going the way I was, the direction I did not expect to veer from, I would've been in the Olympics. But for me, before paleo diet I was of very poor health and it was always a great disadvantage for me. When I began to eat paleo my health became average, and then with raw animals only it was very good, so I no longer felt any disadvantage compared to anyone, and up against most I felt a definite physical advantage. I can't say for anyone else as I can only speak for myself and my own circumstances. It definitely increased my performance, by many degrees.
The most important thing is not to be the drone of any coach. Especially if you're eating very differently to everyone else, the way you perform is going to be different. For example eating raw animals only I didn't need to warm up vigorously like everyone else did with high intensity exercises and doing so would only mean I'd get less out of the session. You're there for you, not the coach. My methods of training, and my style of fighting were very much related to my diet. Also remember what event you're training for, there's only so much you can do and you don't want any of it to be misplaced.
