The Grain Manifesto
We're continuing our "manifesto" series (refer back to dairy and peanuts for our earlier offerings) with the one topic most likely to spur controversy - grains. Our Whole30 program doesn't include grains of any kind - no breads, cereals, pasta, rice, not even fake grains like quinoa or gluten-free substitutes. We're about to tell you why. [...]

Fudge Babies, baby
While at dinner with CrossFit KoP owner Aimee Lyons, she made reference something called "fudge babies". Turns out they're a chocolate fudge-y concoction made with "less bad" ingredients - fruit, nuts and some natural flavoring. Aimee mentioned she'd made them a bunch of times, and they were always the first to go at a party or event. Then she mentioned she had a batch sitting in the fridge at home. [...]

Conversations with a vegetarian
In our last post, we touched on some of the challenges associated with our last set of workshops – talking “Paleo” principles to both meat-eaters and vegetarians at The Mat Yoga Studio in Richardson, TX. If you’ve been reading our articles or have done your own Whole30 program, you know exactly why we believe grains, dairy and legumes make you less healthy. [...]

Nutritional Synergy: Robb Wolf + Whole9
Fascinated by whiteboard diagrams of your small intestine? Find yourself drawn to the sexy world of prostaglandins and transglutaminase? Hoping to pick up more creative alternatives to curse words?

Coaching with empathy
We returned late last night from our trip to Richardson, TX, where we pulled off three nutrition workshops in two different locations. We first visited John Marshall and his crew over at CrossFit Richardson, and then talked to two different groups at Becky Strahan's The Mat Yoga Studio. The yoga workshops we conducted were by far the most challenging. Enter almost any CrossFit gym and you'll find that, "grains, soy and beans aren't actually healthy" is pretty old news. To a group of yogis, however, that is essentially brand new - and terrifying - information. [...]
