  • Calorie counting gives an incomplete picture. While it is a good guideline, you really also need to control your insulin levels with the carbs that you eat. I recommend learning about the Glycemic Index of the foods you eat. This will help you determine which fruits and veg are more likely to help you loose weight. Here is…

  • Scott, First of all, give yourself a break. You are taking action in your life and change is not easy. It takes years to get out of shape and to gain unwanted pounds. To be in your first weeks of CrossFit and getting frustrated with the diet, how you feel and not being able to do WOD's without walking a little will only…
