The lectins in legumes are an important protective measure for the bean plant, and a potentially harmful one for humans. Before the dawn of genetically modified disease resistant soybeans (gee, thanks Monsanto) and their corresponding toxic pesticides and herbicides, legume plants were actually quite able to defend…

I would love to read a nutritionists or doctors article about why we should eat wheat... needing the science behind it. Not just cuz we should eat it. Bread is not pure protein... it can't be bread if it is. Just because the advertising on the front says it is, the label on the back contradicts the front of the pkg. Wheat…

Whoa... sure didn't want to debate about CrossFit... just wanting to know... 'Do you CrossFit?' Again I am lucky to have a great CrossFIt family! Good luck with your workouts!

Shaking and feeling weak during exercise can be disconcerting, but it is often just a sign that you are working beyond your limits. Lack of nutrition and dehydration can also cause shaking and trembling because your muscles need both to function properly. In some cases, medication or an underlying medical disorder could be…

Do you get a good serving of fruit or fat before you workout?

How long was it from when you ate and when you started your workout? What do you drink after your workout? Do you drink afterglow?

I can not imagine what it is like living life with fibromyalgia. I do know several people you struggle with it daily and how they have managed the pain. Their focus has been on the nutrition part... getting rid of sugar & grains has worked wonders for them both. So what does your diet look like? The result didn't happen…

My nutritionist says, 40 protein, 30 fat, 30 carbs. If you want to reduce, stay away from sugar. You can get plenty of sweetness from the fruit intake... even then be careful with the fruit if you want to reduce. Once at your goal and working out more fruit can be consumed along with other healthy yums like brownies made…

When I first started eating clean... I at lots of nuts & fruit... didn't lose any weight. When I 'fessed up" it was brought to my attention to go easy on the fruits & nuts while in the reduction phrase. I'm excited also to be able to eat bacon. I don't eat it quite so often... it's just great to know I can once I reach my…

perfect

I would go el natural... honey, honey!

I love this idea... 'the win for the day' :drinker:

I was once told if you can't pronounce the ingredients or if it has more than 5 ingredients... you shouldn't put it in your mouth.

If you train, you are an athlete. :flowerforyou:

wheat isn't even wheat any more... it's so loaded with chemicals for this and that, make it disease free from the insects, spray this on it to make it drought tolerant, the list goes on and on. Wheat also has lectins, not so much a good thing.... you should read about them since they are in a lot our foods today.... always…

Agree :smile: I guess I should feel pretty lucky we've got such a good crew. They truly are all about helping people get better and better... everyday.

There are good boxes and bad ones. At our box we have to work with a trainer for a month one on one and then test out of different levels before we are a loud to lift certain weights. Each time you go you are in a structured class limited to 20 people. You ARE coached. There are plenty of our members who don't eat paleo or…

Glassman blows a lot of hot air. You really do have to look at the athletes performance.

Periodization I totalyy disagree with. I believe you should 'train' be ready for anything. I think $100 a month for gym membership, having hands on trainers & nutritionists there at all times ready to help, teach & instruct is a pretty sweet deal. Especially when my trainer without planning can, Squat: 440, Deadlift: 550,…

Agree to disagree

mediocre? hmmm?

You go girl... to be able to crossfit at home and stay motivated... is great! WOW! Our gym charges $25 a week. The community alone is worth that. I guess there are good and bad boxes. We're lucky we have awesome people at ours.

lol I'm missing out! I don't see those things happening at our gym (well the top one yes)... crack me up! What the heck is the second guy doing? You could get hurt doing that!

That's cool... the community is great! Good luck to you!

Yep... you've done your part... move onward and upward! Best wishes!

I believe the reason we workout, exercise to begin with is to get through life the best way we can. Part of this is through exercise and proper nutrition. We move through out the day with out weight machines... in our daily movements we are challenged to do different things with our bodies... like squatting to pick up the…

There are a ton of good trainers out there!

I think you should let him read your post... well most of it. Present the pros first then the cons. What is in the contract as far as length of time for each session? I would for sure express to him your concerns over his professional ism... which is what you are paying for. I think you should pay something... he got you…

I experienced withdrawal when I went Paleo... it doesn't last too long. Your body is just adjusting to the 'good stuff'. The benefits are awesome so hang in there.

I agree squatting with free weights. Not sure what level you are at. Be sure you have your form down correctly before adding weight. May sound silly but if you are just starting out... put that broom stick overhead with both arms up stretched, elbows slightly behind the ears, feet shoulder width apart, toes barely turned…
