Paleo Nutrition Seminars, CrossFit Nutrition, and the Original Whole30 Program
All donations of supplies and equipment are packaged up and ready to go! We’re sending them over to Fort Bragg to have them prepared for transport. Tucker and crew has built some special containers to leave with the troops – they’re called “TIBs” (The Iron Box). They’re 6′ x 2′ x 2′, and built to withstand all kinds of weather conditions, keeping the equipment inside dry and sand-free. They hold everything from bumpers to rings to chalk and tape, but that’s not the best part. [...]
Of course, we can’t conduct gymnastics training without the appropriate gymnastics supplies too. As most of you know, things like pull-ups, skin the cats and muscle-ups are pretty tough on your hands, wrists and forearms. We wanted to bring materials over to keep these soldiers in good working order – chalk, tape and hand protective gear. Enter Rage Fitness Supply, a CrossFit affiliate and equipment supplier based out of Denver, CO. Todd Halderman and Tamera Smith immediately rose to the challenge. [...]
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Because of your efforts, in just ONE WEEK we have raised $2,700…. enough to purchase 500 large Paleokits for soldiers stationed at Bagram Air Base! A special thank you goes out to Get Built Chattanooga CrossFit, for their generous donation last night. Steve’s Club is busy putting the order together now. We need to have these on base at Fort Bragg by Thanksgiving, so he’s expediting shipping… and probably putting his other customers’ orders on hold for a day or two to get this done for Operation Iron Cross. [...]
Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to the Whole30 Sponsor a Soldier program. We’ve raised $2,200 so far in our efforts to purchase 500 Paleokits for the men and women stationed at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. Steve’s Club is working hard to pull together this large order, and will need a few days to prepare and ship the Paleokits down to CrossFit Fort Bragg. [...]
In the process of organizing donations and supplies for Operation Iron Cross, Dallas and I began to brainstorm things we could take over with us that would make a difference to the soldiers of the 7SFG. CrossFit equipment was a given, since we’re hoping to get about 100 people through the certifications, but we wanted to get a little more creative and think outside the gymnastics box. Given the nutrition focus here on the blog and in our nutritional counseling practice, we thought about how we could help the 7FSG Eat Good Food. [...]
Today’s Whole30 topic is travel food. What do you do when you hit the road? What kinds of foods do you bring, how do you keep things fresh, and how do you avoid eating nothing but jerky, fruit and nuts while traveling? Post your best tips, tricks, travel-friendly recipes and other Good Food guidelines to comments today. [...]
The adrenal glands produce many of the body’s hormones, including epinephrine (adrenaline) and cortisol. The function is to help us under stress – the release of certain hormones puts us into “fight or flight” mode, to help us deal with crisis situations. Trouble is, when you are under constant stress, the glands are working overtime, pumping out these hormones. The excess cortisol wreaks havoc on your metabolism, and seriously circumvents the processing of fat, protein and carbohydrates and fat loss efforts. You can help to manage cortisol levels with the following supplements and common sense tips. [...]
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 one today. Physically, I feel good, and I performed well and felt good during yesterday’s WOD… so I would like to know when I can declare my yogurt breakfast okay?” [...]
If you’re like me, health and fitness is one of the most important efforts in your life. You’ll do anything for the sake of your diet, exercise and sleep – working out while on vacation, bringing your own food to business meetings, cutting out of social occasions early because you’re training the next morning. But no matter how bad you want it, no matter how hard you try… sometimes Life Stuff hurls itself across your tracks. So how do you manage around a Fitness Train derailment, and how do you get moving again when your tracks are finally clear? Here’s my best advice, based on my own recent experience. [...]
I’ve been thinking about the big-picture direction of the blog, specifically as it relates to my Whole30 program. I first posted the ’30 day’ idea in July, and kept up a month-plus of posts exclusively tailored to that concept. After about six weeks, however, I decided to move on and write about other topics. To my surprise, however, (a) people continue to use whatever topic I post as a mechanism for their 30 day efforts, (b) there are still people jumping on the 30 day bus for the first time, and (c) as Jake commented this weekend, some of you original 30 day’ers are coming back for rounds two and three.
