Nutrition
Nutrition is critical for success in sport and in life. In the CrossFit world, it is the base for everything else you do.
The Paleolithic Diet no Dairy:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and NO sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Consume Low Glycemic Index Carbohydrates:
Glycemic index is simply a measure
of a food’s propensity to raise blood
sugar. Avoid high-glycemic-index
foods and you’ll avoid many, if not
most, of the ills associated with diet.
Gluten Free:
Grains cause stomach problems for some people and play havoc on your body's chemistry. Removing gluten improves digestion and improves recovery.
No Refined Sugars:
We are finding that a Junk Food diet causes even more problems than the ADA Diet. This is where an athlete consumes garbage calories with no nutritive value. This leads to decreased performance and excess body fat.
