Steal This Meal: Stewed Tilapia
Today's gorgeous Steal This Meal submission comes from Tom Denham, of CrossFit North Fulton in Roswell, GA. Tom writes, "I started the Whole 30 four months ago, and have had such good results that I’ve just kept it up. The best result is that I am sleeping soundly nearly every night. I’m also lifting heavier weight for more reps in the gym and have dropped to 200 pounds from 213 while eating an enormous amount of food. [...]

The Great Cocoa Debate
Last week, Whole9 reader Chris posed what appeared to be a relatively innocuous question about our Whole30 program. Chris wrote, “Is 100% pure cocoa okay?” This simple yes-or-no request prompted a 17 hour heated debate within the Whole9 household. [...]

CrossFit Invictus
Today, Whole9 hit an Event PR, with 70 people in attendance at our Foundations Workshop at CrossFit Invictus. (We just couldn't say no to adding "just one more".) We rolled out almost two hours of brand new material, including our new MealSimple™ meal planning template, designed to take the guesswork out of preparing meals, snacks, pre- and post-workout nutrition. [...]

Steal This Meal: Eggs with Mango Gazpacho
Today's STM came from Dallas, as an attempt to squeeze more vegetables into our early AM breakfasts. Many of you have the same issue - cramming plenty of veggies at lunch and dinner is easy, but who wants to roll out of bed to a giant, steaming bowl full of broccoli and spinach? [...]

Supplements, Part I: The Whole9 Supplement Evaluation Checklist
Today’s post details our Supplement Evaluation Checklist – the criteria we use when purchasing vitamins, minerals or other supplements. We run each product through this checklist, making sure it meets every single one of these criteria before continuing with our evaluation. If a supplement fails at any point, with very few exceptions, we skip it. If a product passes each test, we’re then left with one final question – one that we are able to answer only for ourselves. [...]

Steal This Meal: Crock Pot Carnitas
Lydia's recipe submission is perfect for single-eaters, families on the go and those of us looking for an easy, no-fuss meal. Crockpot cooking is fast and convenient - you do the prep, and the cooker does all the hard work for you. It's healthy - when fresh ingredients are cooked at a low temperature, you retail the natural juices, vitamins and minerals from your meat and vegetables. And the cooker lets you make a big meal, perfect for freezing for later (or leftover lunches the following day). [...]

Upcoming workshops
Just a quick announcement today, as we’re busy preparing our Supplement Checklist, practicing our new workshop material and getting ready for our next round of nutrition workshops. We’re coming to the Phoenix, AZ area this Saturday, for our first Arizona event. We’ll be holding Foundations Workshop at Cactus CrossFit (formerly North Scottsdale CrossFit) from 9 [...]

Supplements, take two
Today's post started with an email from April, an avid Whole9 reader and recent workshop attendee. She’s not your average CrossFitter – April is a savvy nutrition consumer and no stranger to Paleo or the Whole30. So when she received a questionable sales pitch from a popular supplement company, she contacted us for our thoughts. [...]

Steal This Meal: Sandwich Makeovers
Today's STM is a little bit different, born from a burst of inspiration while looking for a quick lunch last week. We were trolling the streets of the seacoast area of NH, and all we could find open during that time of day were sandwich shops - not exactly the first thing that comes to mind for a healthy Whole30 lunch. [...]
