Count me in too!

II did try it to lower my Cortisol levels and it works. Of course it’s only a compliment to diet and exercise. I got the needles in the back during my visit, and what my Acupuncturist called “acupuncture to go” which was small pins in the ear covered with tape. The only down side was he made me give up coffee lol!

I was always told by trainers to do weight lifting first to avoid injury. I get my warm up with the foam roller, then weight lifting, then cardio.

Some good paleo recipes here on Nom Nom Paleo, she also has an app http://nomnompaleo.com/

Most of the people in my CrossFit box eat paleo, we even have a Primal Mama kitchen for catering http://www.anaheimcrossfitwest.com/

12/05/11 WOD Deadlifts, Handstand Walks 225 pound Deadlift, 21 reps Handstand walk 21 meters 225 pound Deadlift, 15 reps Handstand walk 15 meters 225 pound Deadlift, 9 reps Handstand walk 9 meters 8:58

11/14/11 WOD "Death by Power Clean" With a continuously running clock perform 1 power clean in the first minute, 2 in the second, 3 in the third, etc. Continue until you cannot finish your numbers before the next minute starts. Starts out soooo easy but I hit failure at 13 and started back at 1 13/7 135#

I'm doing primal, still like to eat greek yogurt occasionally and cream in my coffee, trying to keep my nutrition compliance at around 85% and CrossFit 3x a week.

You can find most of the exercises (with video) on the crossfit site http://www.crossfit.com/

I am also 53 and recently started doing CrossFit. They start everyone at their own level, I don't think even an athelete can walk through the door and do all the moves on the first day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzD9BkXGJ1M

Jay Robb Shakes made with stevia are my favorite

Name: David where you live: Stanton, CA Time CF'ing: Starting Today Nutrition Plan: Primal/Paleo for 5 months Well today I am finally biting the bullet and joining Anaheim Crossfit West, and I'm a little nervous about it lol. I've been eating Primal/Paleo for about 5 months, still eat some Greek yogurt and Jay Robb protein…

Splenda contains chlorine according to "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills"

I try to never eat more than 5 grams of sugar at each meal, and never go over 15 grams for the day

I like the fact he puts out a lot of free information about Primal/Paleo. You don't have to buy his books to follow the plan.
