Paleo Nutrition Seminars, CrossFit Nutrition, and the Original Whole30 Program
A Whole9 guest post by Kate Galliett, creator of Fit for Real Life and The Unbreakable Body, an online strength and mobility program “I got up at 4:30 this morning to get my training in.” “Big week! I’m training 20 hours!” “My knee usually only aches for the first 15 minutes or so, then it goes away.” How do you perceive these statements? Are they a sign of a committed individual? Are they statements only a professional athlete being paid to put their body on the line would … [Read more...]
A Whole9 guest post by Skyler Tanner, an Efficient Exercise Master Trainer with an MS in Exercise Science. Have you ever wondered why Dallas and Melissa titled their book It Starts With Food? If the “perfect diet” was the only thing that mattered, they could have called it "It’s Just About Food", or "Food: Alpha and Omega." However if you’ve been following the Whole9 for a while, you know that diet is just one part of a larger lifestyle, built on 8 other considerations (hence the “whole” … [Read more...]
A few months ago, we heard a fascinating question from a workshop attendee. Well, to be honest, the question itself wasn't fascinating, but our answer (or lack thereof) we found mighty interesting. The question posed to us was this: "If you were going to "cheat" and make a bad food choice, is it better to choose something that's less bad?" We Don't Do "Less Bad" This idea of "less bad" is a common theme at our events; folks hear us present our views on "optimal nutrition" all day long, and … [Read more...]
While on vacation in Mexico, we posted the following status update on our Facebook page: “Whole9 is grilling fresh mahi, making a giant batch of guac and kicking our heels up with some hand-made corn tortillas.” This was kind of a boring update, so imagine our surprise when almost 40 comments rolled in! (We've included a smattering of them here.) We felt like this was an interesting subject for a post, given it’s not the first time this has come up. (We once admitted consuming some … [Read more...]
If you haven't read our Eating Dirty (Part I) post yet, do that now. You really do need the background to understand where the below recommendations are coming from. And one quick note - you know we don't view food as punishment or reward, which means you simply make a deliberate choice to eat something less healthy, you don't "cheat" or "slip". However, for ease of syntax here, we'll be calling things "treats" or "cheats", mostly because writing "making a deliberate and conscious choice to … [Read more...]
If you’re reading this blog, we all have one thing in common: we try to eat well, whether we call it "Paleo" or "Whole30" or just plain “clean”. We know the difference between Real Food and Stuff You Can Eat. We eat real food, natural food, nutrient-dense food. We avoid foods that require additives to be “healthy”, high-tech fabrications designed to replace real food, and food-like products made from ingredients we cannot pronounce. And we do this, day in and day out, for the vast … [Read more...]
Today’s Whole30 check-in topic comes from a reader’s post. Heather wrote: “I am currently in the testing part of Whole30 (completed 30 days, and am now reinserting certain foods back in to see how they affect me). One thing I gave up during the Whole30 was my morning organic, sugar-free yogurt with salt-free almonds and sugar free granola. I am now eating Paleo except for this breakfast so I can test the way I feel and my performance during WODs. I had my first one yesterday and another … [Read more...]
