For those of you who are unaware of our current challenge, ed there are many people participating in the Whole30 Challenge at CrossFit Oakdale. No grains, # 40mg no sugar, treat no dairy, no alcohol. Meat, eggs, veggies, some fruit, nuts, seeds and good fats have been our friend for the past 17 days. Three meals a day-No SNACKING or GRAZING. They have been subject to a baseline WOD and reflection on where this change has taken them.
The idea is to remove toxins and the foods that create inflammation and let your body recover. In the beginning there is a funk, kind of weakness, some might even say anger. I think we are over this point by now. The reason I say this is the PR’s that I have seen throughout the past 2.5 weeks. This is not to say this works 100% or even 90% of the time. We (I mean I) have felt a bit depleted on some days – 3 meals with no snacking is no joke. BUT I have learned to eat more at my meals, increasing my fat to make sure I am satisfied and satiated until my next meal.
If you have the chance, check out our Facebook page where we post recipes, ideas and general support. It is the CFO EWLB Facebook page. (CFO EAT WELL LIVE BETTER)
