Andres’ 5:30 class. Good to see you Will, Stephanie and Shannon!! I LOVE CROSSFIT WORKS. Well, really, this gym is the sum of the people who train in it. It was so great today to see a bunch of people who have been gone: getting married, being deployed, traveling, and studying. Welcome home!! I [...] No. I can’t. You all ask me this frequently. Once you start learning about ways to change your eating and especially learning about Paleo and Zone you want a book that will tell you what to do and how to do it. I LOVE BOOKS. I love learning about all of this stuff. I spend [...] Sincerest congratulations to all of you who have stuck with the focus on your food. You are all doing different things, prioritizing different changes, struggling with different challenges but many of you are persevering impressively. So far, I’m guessing I have only touched the tip of the iceberg in terms of your food and nutrition questions, [...] We will miss Shannon for the next month since she will be in France preparing to get married to a French guy. Isn’t that romantic? Shannon is cool anyway. One of my favorite food books is called A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle. Makes me want to get a trust fund and start cooking. [...] The best thing about providing nutrition education via a CrossFit Affiliate is that my days of tiptoeing around vegetarians are OVER. I was a vegetarian for a long time as I’ve written before, and I have the utmost respect for people’s personal eating choices. Each of us has profound motivations for choosing the foods we [...] This Wednesday at 7:00pm (May 27th) there will be a talk here at the gym on dietary fat. Fat is the most fascinating, misunderstood, maligned nutrient around. Do you know the difference between saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, medium chain, short chain, raw, cooked, vegetable or animal fats? Do you know what functions in your body [...]
“when you start to eat clean like we do with paleo, it takes a little bit for your body to adjust as it detoxes from the crap that we had been eating before. Just keep in mind that eating paleo is more about a lifstyle change, one that will give you [...] “I am being strict with the diet. I am getting serious headaches and my energy is super low. I had to leave work today. I feel really burned out. I would love some pointers. Should I keep doing what I’m doing or do something a little differently.
On a positive [...] I love Grace. A whole bunch of you did 30 Clean and Jerks for time yesterday and it was pretty cool. I believe there was even a men-followed-by-women version at 5:00. I like the picture of Larry’s pull at the top and look at those elbows on Cullen! His technique is so good. Christine’s push [...] Hey!! We have about 25 people going Paleo tomorrow and Zoning too. Awesome. If you are not one of these people be ready to be a little bit patient with your fellow CrossFitters in the next couple weeks as they adjust to a new way of eating. And then, watch out… Well, I’ve been to [...] As I think I said before, one of the best reasons for venturing out to the Farmer’s Markets are proper eggs. Contrary to what many proponents of the Paleo Diet say (including Dr. Cordain), there is a vast difference in the nutrient content of food depending on how it is raised. I’ve seen enough lab [...]
In my nutrition work with people I find that sometimes when I say things like “dark leafy greens” I get a blank look or an embarrassed question of “I’m not really sure what you mean by that and I have no idea how to cook them”. I like to think of the leafy greens in [...] Each Sunday I will write a little something about my food foraging. Almost always I make it to the St. Phillip’s Plaza Farmer’s Market. One often overlooked aspect of a Paleolithic, traditional diet is that the foods those people ate came from within their small geographic range. Now, I am a non-fanatic, very busy person [...] |
