Nutrition is the key foundation of fitness. Without proper nutrition you will blunt the effects of CrossFit, and with it you will accelerate your response to CrossFit.
Proper nutrition is eating what you need to sustain your life. It includes the macro-nutrients; carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and micro-nutrients like vitamins and minerals.
If you eat too much it's called gluttony and too little is called starvation. Anybody you know starving?
Knowing what is proper nutrition for you is about self-discovery on one hand and understanding human nutrition on the other. That is we are all the same in most ways but in some ways quite different.
While we are all on slightly different paths we are all headed to the same end goal: eating what we need to support our body in the proper quantity while emphasizing the highest quality we can manage.
Ideally, you would eat intuitively both for quantity and quality.
Most people find this exceedingly difficult. Our goal is to get you on the road to achieving this goal, but we recognized that many will never achieve it. That's fine as it is an idealist goal, but striving for it is useful as it gives focus and sharpens our sense of responsibility.
At CF Tally, we plan your workout and monitor your performance, both of which enable you to improve your fitness.
But we cannot do this for your diet. We intend this seminar to provide you with the information and skills necessary for you to do the same with your diet.
What you will learn?
Seminar Details
For this challenge we've decided to set up a way for you to compete since we know you all respond to competition! Here's how it will work:
There will be two teams, one paleo and one following the zone diet. Each team will have have a facebook group to post pictures, chat and motivate each other, but wait! We will also give points out for various activities. These points will be your "compliance" measure and be the determining factor on which team wins bragging rights.

Food Selection, Gluten-Free Friday, April 20, 2012 at 8:07AM A few celebrity actors and athletes have gotten some criticism about their adopting a gluten-free diet. I think much of this is from "dietitians" fronting for food manufactures. If you eat manufactored or as it is commonly referred to as "processed" food it is very difficult to avoid gluten. Much in the same way its hard to avoid added sugar and HFCS. But if you don't eat these foods it's not so difficult to avoid. Try if for as little as a week and I think you'll see a substantial difference and if not you've lost nothing important.
