Day 32

Paleo cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, donuts, pancakes, whatever are still cookies, brownies, cakes, donuts, pancakes. Eating 1 or two a week is fine, more than that, like 3 in one day (carol), is not good. Please try to limit them like you would, or should, an oreo. lets say post workout 30 min window only. That is the only time sugar (honey or sweetening agent) benefits you.

as always...Post Food to comments

i pick on carol because i know she can take it...but she is not alone in the love of cookies, myself included, lets all lock it down.

Day 29

Hey all, you have made it almost one month, awesome awesome! keep up the paleo eating, and posting in a timely manner please!! as we start nearing the end make sure you keep up with the posts. now is the time to really start locking it back in if you have been slowing down lately. don't forget this is a competition and we are playing for an awesome prize, both guys and gals.

Also this week I've seen a big decrease in overall food consumption and esp. Veggies. remember Paleo is this...

Lean meats, VEGETABLES, fruits,nuts, and seeds. you like how i did that? hopefully it gets the point across. 

Also lets all drop this smoothie business i keep seeing, and increasing in popularity.its all in your heads, especially the "time crunchers". smoothies are psuedo paleo, and contain lots of fruits, not veggies, unless you are making some crazy greenish smoothies.

I have found the beauty of paleo is in consistency, eating the same things at the same times and getting into a habit of it. if you are consistent, planning also becomes easier which is great for us all.

As always any questions shoot them my way or post them, like ms. mullen does (missed you sat), and keep it up. i love seeing y'all doing well and sharing our cheat stories with each other. i know most of y'all have heard some of mine and that is what keeps this enjoyable and do-able. go for it guys, get that month of free crossfit, the camera is waiting for you!

Day 18

Hey all, again y'all are doing good, but time for a little reminder. Snacks...you need to be eating roughly every 3 hours. I've seen different people on different days go around 6 hours and up to 8 hours without any food. That kills your metabolism and causes your body to go into a storage mode, which we do not want. Don't give me the " no time"  nonsense either, i can eat a bag of carrots in a matter of seconds, you've seen me do it at the box most likely. Veggies make great snacks and so do nuts. just make sure you reserve that intake to only snacks and stick with walnuts. Keep eating the good stuff and you'll do great any questions please post to comments or ask us. Carry on...

Day 10

Challengers! you guys are doing great, here are a few things i'm noticing becoming trends that need to be addressed:

1) vegetables!!!! you guys can all handle more veggies, i know fruit is sweet and great but veggies are where we need to focus our intake. the more the better, not only to buffer acid in meat but to reduce the sugar carbs going in. More veggies, more veggies!! can't say it enough.

2) almonds, almond butter, almond meal. Try and focus more on eating walnuts as snacks and limit 1 serving per day of almond butter OR almond meal, not both. here is why: The omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in nuts should be 2 to 1. omega-6 is not good, omega-3 is great for you( think seafood, omega 3 enhanced eggs). Walnuts have a ratio of 4.2 to 1, macadamia nuts are 6.3 to 1, cashews are 47.6 to 1, and almonds don't contain any omega 3's!! so the ratio is non existant. remember we want 2:1  or as close as we can get. any questions let me know. yes almonds are good for you but in moderation, not 6 servings a day. So to sum up... eat nuts, more walnuts than almonds, and you will be fine.oh and if you have a food processor you can make walnut or cashew butter yourself. ask me how.

3)Raisins and dried fruit. Raisins and dried fruits should only be consumed in the 30 min window post exercise. Reach for grapes instead of raisins during the day. They are very similar. They can be kept cold or even frozen (my wife's favorite snack) and have similar nutrients to raisins.

That is enough party crashing for one day, like i said y'all are doing awesome, I'm hearing great results and charlie and i are blown away by the level of commitment we are seeing. KEEP IT UP!!

and remember.....

Good job on the first work week. Make smart choices this weekend and stick to the system.

Day 4

Half-way through your first week! Great job guys, I'm hearing lots of great things from people. Here is a resource for you if you are curious about the calories you are taking in, or the fat/protein/carb levels of your foods. I'll post later some levels y'all should be shooting for, but for now play with this. super easy to use as long as you can judge amounts.
