Top 5 mistakes with a Paleo Diet

By: 0

In this video we discuss the top 5 mistakes that I see when people switch to a Paleo diet 1. Skimping on healthy fat 2. Calorie counting before food quality is in place 3. Forgetting that Paleo is supposed to be a lifestyle and not a quick fix detox or diet. 4. Forgetting that there is no one such thing as "The Paleo Diet" and that Paleo is best thought of as a template. 5. Treating Paleo as a religion or dogma In the video we discuss each of these in more detail.

Dealing with the Haters

By: 0

One thing that almost everyone who starts eating healthy is sure to encounter is the haters. Who are the haters? -The people who are skeptical of any eating change -The people who themselves aren't motivated enough to make positive changes in their lives so they have to bring other people down -The people who are food pushers So how do you deal with the haters? Every situation is different but here are some good rules. -If someone asks you once or twice why you're having a gluten free bun or no dessert, for example, just politely say that eating this way makes you feel better and leave it at that -If they persist a third or a fourth time ask them why they care what you're eating. As long as you're not pushing them to eat something, which you shouldn't do, there's no reason why it should bother them that you're eating a certain way. -If it still continues and you consider this person a true friend or loved one ask yourself why you're still hanging out with them. If they really love you and care about you they should let you pursue what you choose. Alternatively, find some other non-eating activity to do together. At the end of the day, each situation is different, but hopefully this gives you some options for dealing with these situations.

Mindfulness Mondays: 12 Daily Choices That Define Your Life

By: 0

You make thousands of choices every day. What to do next... What to eat... What to say... Most of these choices don’t matter very much. You won’t remember them in a few weeks. About 1 dozen of these choices do matter. They aren’t the choices that define a day. They’re the choices that define your life. They’re the most important choices you'll ever make, and you get to make them every day.

When you wake up in the morning…

Choose gratitude, because life is filled with countless gifts. Choose happiness, because you can be a source of light for others. Choose humility, because you aren’t perfect and you’ll never be. Choose abundance, because the world is filled with opportunity.

When you come to a crossroads…

Choose action, because you have the opportunity to make things better. Choose your priorities, because you've only got one life to live. Choose persistence, because life’s resistance will try to stop you. Choose curiosity, because the world has endless wonders to discover. Choose patience, because creating lasting positive change doesn’t happen overnight. Choose courage, because doing the right thing usually isn’t comfortable. Choose ownership, because you’re in the driver's seat in life.

Above all else…

Choose awareness, because the biggest danger in life isn’t making the wrong choice, it’s not realizing you have a say in the matter. So what’ll it be? The choice is yours.

Eric’s Story-“I Enjoy this Lifestyle”

By: 0

In this video we talk with Eric who ended up losing 25lbs and 5 inches off his waist in his three months of nutrition coaching without calorie counting, carb-counting, or pointing. He just focused on eating real whole food and the pounds came off. He even had to buy all new belts after 3 months. Initially, Eric was skeptical about: -eating healthy foods without really knowing how to cook -dealing with social situations where people would question what he was eating -the financial and time investment involved in getting healthy again After going through the process: -He feels like this can be a sustainable lifestyle long-term. It's not just a diet. It's a long-term way of living that he enjoys. -He didn't expect to enjoy the food as much as he did. -he realized that in social situations you have to stick to your guns, and people would routinely notice a difference in how he looked -after all was said and done he thought the financial and time investment were definitely worth it. Eric we're so proud of you and all your progress! Keep up the great work! Interested in giving nutrition coaching a try?

How to Construct a Healthy Meal

By: 0

In this video we talk about how to construct a healthy meal from scratch. Basically, you want the following three things at each meal. -Quality Protein (fish and seafood, beef, chicken, eggs, etc.) -Vegetables (kale, cauliflower, carrots, squash, etc.) -Healthy Fats (olive oil, macadamia nuts, avocado, etc.) This corresponds to the three main macronutrients namely protein, carbs, and fat. The key here is to get quality versions of these things for each meal. In terms of amounts, in general, we’re big fans of just starting with rough amounts rather than calorie counting, point counting or carb counting right out of the gate. Here are rough guidelines. -Protein: 4-8oz per meal -Vegetables: At least one vegetable per meal (yes, that includes breakfast) -Fat: 1-3 Tablespoons of healthy fat per meal (it really depends a lot on your goals) Other things that can be added to meals but aren’t strictly speaking necessary for health are: -Fruits -Nuts and Seeds -Herbs and Spices What are some examples of healthy meals based on this template? 1. Salmon, spring mix with olive oil 2. Steak, asparagus and roasted potatoes cooked in ghee (clarified butter) 3. Chicken, sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts cooked in coconut oil.

The Competition

Scaled Teams of 2 (Male, Female & Mixed) Many scaled competitions have too many people in the final WOD that don't belong there. Scaled competitions that have men power cleaning 275 pounds, while the true scaled athletes have to sit on the sidelines and watch the finals. No More!!! Finally a scaled competition that is balanced in both strength and conditioning, but also breaks athletes out into Gold and Silver brackets for the Final. The Twist!!!  Male, Female & Mixed Teams will be competing for the same podium spots.  Girls vs Boys vs the World!!! This will be done (AND KEPT FAIR) through traditional CrossFit standards. Let's look at WOD 2 for an example:WOD2 21-15-9 (ea partner) - 10 minute cap Deadlifts 135/95 Box Jumps / Steps 24"/20" Partner 1 will complete all reps, then Partner 2 will go.  1 second penalty for each rep not completed under time cap. Male teams will deadlift 135 pounds and jump or step to a 24" box. Female teams will deadlift 95 pounds and jump or step to a 20" box. On a mixed team the male will deadlift 135 and jump / step to 24" and the female will deadlift 95 and go to 20". Sounds Fun and more than fair!!!!  We're excited to see the girls beat up n the boys.
