The Daily Grind

Jul 28th, 2010

The Daily Grind

When you first start the Whole30, the transition to black coffee is often a rough one. For many, the coffee tastes so awful that they find themselves drinking far less than normal. (Which in our eyes is a good thing, but doesn't always make our readers very happy.) [...]

Thanks, Toronto!

We're wrapping up here in Toronto, spending a few extra days kicking around the city. We jammed three workshops into our first international visit, and had a great time with each and every group. [...]

Steal This Meal: A Wok-Tastic Stir Fry

Today's Steal This Meal comes from Whole9 reader and CrossFit North Fulton member Tom Denham. Tom learned about the Whole30 diet after members of CrossFit North Fulton (Roswell, Georgia) attended a Whole9 Nutrition Worskhop at CrossFit East Decatur on May 1st. [...]

The end of the road

The end of the road

As of Wednesday, July 14th, our road trip was officially over. The final stats? We traveled for 70 days, drove 12,300 miles and passed through 24 states (not including two provinces in British Columbia). And most importantly, after spending 24 hours a day for the last 7 weeks shoulder to shoulder in a mid-sized Subaru Legacy... Dallas and I are still happily speaking to each other. [...]

Steal This Meal:  Cashew Hummus

Steal This Meal: Cashew Hummus

The trouble is, we searched health food stores far and wide all across the country over the next two months, and never again discovered a similar product. Undaunted, we did the only thing we could... and called in our resident (though virtual) Culinary Expert. Of course, we're talking about our good friend and gourmet goddess Melissa Joulwan, of the blog The Clothes Make the Girl. We knew Mel could come up with a recipe for our cashew pate that would be just as good - if not better - than the original. [...]

Whole9 Comes Home(ish)

Of course, our final trip "home" wouldn't be complete without a blow-out nutrition workshop for all our local friends. And as of this morning, we're happy to announce a location... one of our favorite New England boxes... CrossFit Boston! [...]

Just added: Tacoma, WA workshop

We’re still in B.C., wrapping up an amazing vacation and getting ready for our return trip to our new home – Salt Lake City, UT.  Along the way, however, we’ve been snagged for two more evening workshops in Washington state, so we’re passing along the times and dates for those of you who missed us [...]

Steal This Meal

Whole9 is happy to announce a new weekly feature, designed to help those of you who want to take their Whole30 to the next level. Tired of eating chicken and broccoli? Bored with all the recipes in your current rotation? Unsure whether those “Paleo” or “Primal” recipes you see on other web sites are Whole30 friendly? This new series of posts is for you. [...]

Sugar = Sugar = Sugar

Jun 22nd, 2010

Sugar = Sugar = Sugar

We got the idea for this post in the middle of our SnoRidge CrossFit workshop. We were about an hour into the afternoon, and Dallas was talking about how (and why) sugar and artificial sweeteners make you less healthy. That led to a discussion of all the sneaky ways big business, marketing campaigns and advertisers find to appease the sugar tantrums in all of us. [...]
