Paleo in a nutshell

Good video and about as simple as it gets.

Monday, November 30, 2009

Nutrition is Key

Most of you know that Paleo = meat, veggies, nuts, seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO SUGAR! Basically removing all the processed bread, rice, and pasta-like items from your daily plate (and any and all sugar/artificial sweetener infused beverages) and eating clean for 4 weeks. To be successful you will empty your cupboards of all such processed junk so as not to be surrounded by it. You will try to reduce your stress and sleep more. All of these lifestyle factors influence whether or not one is lean.

To be eligible you must be a current Woodward CrossFit client and have your before photos taken on or before December 2nd. The rest is up to you!
