We hear just as many questions about nutrition as we do about CrossFit. Many people have voiced concerns that the Zone and the Paleolithic diets can seem both difficult and restrictive in nature. Others have said that they don't know how feasible it would be to cook for the whole family, while staying within the confines of these dietary constraints. We're here to help. This blog is dedicated to supporting our community on its path to elite fitness by developing the most overlooked portion of fitness – nutrition!
Sure, an athlete may have a sub 3 minute "Fran", or 20+ round "Cindy", but if she isn't controlling her hormone levels through the drug we call food, she isn't realizing her full fitness potential. When an athlete gets his dialed in, he will experience positive changes in health, energy, and sense of well being, while shredding fat, packing on muscle and optimizing physical performance. Your nutrition will amplify or diminish the effects of your training efforts. That's why we're here – to provide you with the results you seek.
We'd like for you to use this blog as a resource for recipes, ideas, or as an opportunity to share your successes. Have you had a particularly good week of strict Zoning? Tell everyone! That's something to celebrate. Have you had a bad week? Tell us all about it, as our community is a supportive one. If you have a recipe you love, send it to us with a picture of you eating it. We'll try it and if we survive, we'll post it here. Together we can make this so much fun – but you can't be a part of it unless you get involved. So do it – NOW!
