By: Arthur Anderson A few months ago I thought I would try a low carb way of eating.  So I started with roughly a 50g/day carb diet, while still maintaining my protein intake and I didn’t pay too much attention to the fats.  Also I stopped adding supplements to my diet.  It seemed to be working okay for the first week or so, I wasn’t hungry and I was only eating 2-3 times per day.  Then I began to notice that I was getting less energetic towards my crossfit workouts and I wasn’t performing as well.   It couldn’t be the diet, right?  I was certainly getting enough protein.  Then I had my yearly blood test and wellness checkup and wasn’t as good as it was in the past, higher cholesterol, higher TSH, weight gain and higher blood pressure; this led to more frustration but I still wasn’t making the connection...Read more

I was “working out” at a local gym inconsistently for about a year when I heard about Crossfit. When I decided to give it a try, I joined a “box” gym. The workouts were difficult but I really didn’t appreciate the manner in which the gym operated. No real trainer oversight. Bad start but then it...Read more

As we all get ready to embark on an 8 week paleo challenge it is important to recognize that not all paleo meals are created equal.   You might have heard someone who follows the paleo diet ask you while you are happily enjoying your carbs “Is that paleo bro?!”.   So what is exactly the paleo diet?  Well let the most trusted site in the world explain it to you….. Wikipedia. The Paleolithic diet, also popularly referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a modern nutritional diet designed to emulate, insofar as possible using modern foods, the diet of wild plants and animals eaten by humans during the Paleolithic era.[1] Proponents of the diet therefore recommend avoiding any foods that are thought not to have been available to humans at that time, including dairy products, grains, legumes, processed oils, and refined sugar.
