Today is the first day of the Paleo Challenge. I believe we have 17 people signed up. Good on ya. If you have not yet taken your before photo please do so at the gym today. All of the before photos will be pinned up on the wall near the entrance. Some questions have arisen regarding cheat days, alcohol, etc. Remember this is an eight week physique transformation competition, with the winner receiving three months free membership. I would expect those who are signed up to eat paleolithic foods the entire time. As the purpose of this comp is to prove that a diet of paleo foods will not only lean you out and improve your athletic performance but is also incredibly easy to follow. That being said, a few things to chew on. Hunter gathers based their diet on meat. You need to as well. When meat was not available veggies and fruit were consumed. Your meals should be constructed based around a meat, fish, or bird or egg. Veg, fruit, and nuts, seeds, etc come next. A once a week cheat meal seems reasonable as does a few drinks on the weekend.This is required.
1.BuyKirklands Fish Oil from Costco. Take it with meals as it is a food. 20-40 softgels a day.
2. Keep a food log. Bring it in once a week for review, ideas, suggestions, constructive critiscm.
3. Eat breakfast no excuses. Do it.
4. NO WHEAT, NO DAIRY, NO SUGAR, NO MORE QUESTIONS.

OCCF you should definitely heed your wise Coach’s advice on this Paleo challenge. I’ve converted to this from the Zone diet and it’s much easier to follow and you’ll get great results. I thought I was in pretty good shape at roughly 215# but after a couple months of diet I’m not a much leaner 195#. My strength has improved as well as my WOD times. Good luck Orange Coasters!!

To all team members that saw “Food Inc.” last week; that was great. To those that haven’t seen Food Inc, go check it out.
Over the weekend I found the next movie that picks up where Food Inc. finished. This movie focuses on solutions. I just bought the home kit DVD and will have it shipped to my house in the next week or two. I’ll host a home screening for our crew to come over, eat great food, and watch the movie together:
