Product Review-Blue Apron Whole30 Meals

By: 0

In this video, we give you a review of Blue Apron Whole30 meals. We also talk about how these meal delivery services can be a great way to try some great new food, get some variety in your meals, and learn some new cooking techniques. Over the 8 weeks, Blue Apron partnered with the Whole30 to deliver Whole30 meals. I signed up for it because I had been wanting to try Blue Apron, and because I'm a big fan of the Whole30. Put simply, the meals were great! I was unexpectedly surprised by how good all the meals were. Initially I thought there would be some good and bad ones, but we didn't have a single bad one. All of them were either good or very good. As I said in the video, I have no financial connection with Blue Apron or any other meal delivery service. Even better, it introduced some new variety into our normal eating routine with some cool new ways to make meals. Unfortunately, as of the time of this recording, the partnership between Whole30 and Blue Apron is ending it's 8-week run. However, you can still get healthy meals through a service like Blue Apron or another one like Green Chef, which specifically does all organic Paleo, Keto, and Vegan meals. Either way, these are great services to try to eat some great food, to get some variety in your meals, and to learn some new cooking techniques.

A few directives for the week.
  1. If you haven't watched the FB live on preparing your week for the crossfit open, go to the members page, click videos, and watch it. If not...
If you are really trying to save yourself for the Friday Night Lights - prep your week accordingly. Monday: regular training day Tuesday: make everything easier than normal, to a point where you have absolutely no problem finishing and simply have some hard breathing at the end. Wednesday: For weightlifting movements, you should leave 5 reps left in the tank for each set. meaning the chosen weight, once you hit your 8 reps, you felt like you could hit another 5 with no problem. Modify the weight and pace for the workout accordingly, don't kill yourself. Thursday: Same rules as Wed, but perhaps even a little easier - another option is to rest this day and move some blood at home, prep, strategize, roll out, etc. If you are doing the open for fun - just train like normal this week :) [/elitetoggle][/eliteaccordion] [eliteaccordion][elitetoggle title="Monday 2.26"] FIT A.

What are your top 5 special occasion foods?

By: 0

In this video we talk about making a list of your top 5 special occasion foods. Why would you do this? Put simply, to help you avoid food temptation. Many times when we're dealing with some sort of special occasion (birthday, wedding, party, anniversary, etc.) we have a tendency to have not-so-healthy food just because it's there not because we really care about it. This list is meant to help you get crystal clear in your mind about which foods are truly worth it to you. Why is that helpful? Because, in the moment, while you're at one of these special occasion events having this list can help you easily determine which foods are truly worth it and which aren't. It's also especially helpful when you pair it with a special occasion calendar. Those two in combination really help you keep completely off-plan food to a minimum and they help you make sure that that food is something that's really worth it to you and is only for a special occasion. Does this mean you have to have these foods at a special occasion if they're there? Of course not, you can still decide in that particular moment that the food isn't worth it if you're just not into it at that moment. Does making this list mean your top 5 foods will never change? -No, they can certainly change over time some will fall off the list while others will be added

Are White Potatoes Healthy?

By: 0

Are white potatoes healthy? In short, yes! In order to see whether white potatoes are healthy it's helpful to go through our 5 rules for determining nutritious foods. 1. Are white potatoes nutritious? Yes they are, and they're as nutritious if not more so than sweet potatoes. 2. Are white potatoes good for blood sugar? It depends. It's highly individual. Some individuals get more of a blood sugar spike from sweet potatoes while others get more of one from white potatoes. For more details on the individual nature of blood sugar spikes check out my video on that subject here:         Can rice spike your blood sugar more than a cookie?      Post-workout for healthy people white potatoes can be great. Furthermore, white potatoes contain a compound called resistance starch which can help with blood sugar, which sweet potatoes do not contain. 3. Are white potatoes addictive? It depends. They can be if they're French Fries or chips, but roasted potatoes with olive oil aren't really addictive. 4. Do white potatoes promote healthy digestion? They can, it depends on the person. But they're no more or less harmful or helpful than sweet potatoes. 5. Do white potatoes contribute to chronic and systemic inflammation? Generally speaking no, but for people with autoimmunity, white potatoes can cause issues for a very small subset of people. So overall, potatoes are a real whole nutritious food, and the main reason there's a stigma is due to the fact that we typically have them as fries, hashbrowns, and potato chips.
