Some of you may have heard about this "diet" some of us are on. I don't like to think of it as a "diet" but more of a way of eating that promotes optimum health and fitness. You have all heard me say that fitness is not about weight loss or body fat percentage. This is true. fitness is about human performance. The mentality of calories in and calories out and the USDA food pyramid is so 2008.
CrossFitters have had tremendous sucess in increasing performance and yes, body compositon by eating meat, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.. The truth is if you want to lose weight and change body composition you have to eat right. Which brings us to the Paleo diet. Starting in January we are going to do a 60 day experiment with the Paleo diet. Participans will be required to get blood work done and an accurate body fat test done as well as keeping a food journal and training at least 3 days a week. We will do baseline strenght and metabolic conditioning tests. We will test everything at the end of the 60 days and compare results.
Take the next couple months and do some research and start cleaning out the pantry. There are quite a few examples of th Paleo diet training at Flatirons Crossfit right now. Leftovers from the last Nutrition experiment. Ask them about the Paleo diet.

On Wednesday we will be doing our annual 100,000 meter rowing challenge against MBS CrossFit. We did this last year and they won, so lets hit it hard and beat them this time.. We will be rowing 500 and 1000 meter sprints all day till we have rowed 100,000 meters. This is a good time to work on a PR for your 1000 or 500 meter row.
Who is that ripped guy in the foreground? He is totally going to score with me.
If anyone has questions about going paleo, I'm glad to talk to you about it anytime. I agree with Tim that it is definitely not a diet - I don't feel restricted at all. It can be a difficult adjustment at first, but it is worth it. Don't be afraid to try it.
