BUSTING THE DIET MYTH

CrossFit promotes the Zone or Paledo diets to improve health, fitness, and performance. For years we have been told low fat, high carb for our nutrition intake. The food pyramid is the way to go. Umm NO! Read this post about nutrition from a local CrossFit affiliate CFC’s Very Comprehensive Diet Page. It is really long (but worth the time) so get your Zone or Paleo snack and beverage ready and when you are finished if you are not convinced (once you're revived from the catatonic state), well fire up the ice cream and the couch. Here are easy descriptions for each that were posted at CrossFit VictriX:
Zone – adequate lean protein, healthy fats, and low carb with most of carb from vegetables and fruit but anything is allowed.
Primal – same as above no grains
Paleo – same as both above but also no dairy

You should avoid any type of sugar, NO SUGAR!!

Train Hard!!
