you have no idea... ;-)

i'm not gonna lie, i like being told i'm hot :)

for those with a gluten allergy it is NOT a fad....I get physically ILL when I consume gluten so this is not a "fad" for me. Now, for others who arent sensitive to gluten or who don't know if they are, then yes it could be a fad like the low fat thing.

one word: bacon.

oh good article! I have struggled with this as well, but bottom line it comes down to your goals: -if you are doing any endurance events (tough mudder, marathons, etc) than you could benefit from an additional "running" day in addition to crossfit since it doesnt focus on just running -if you are looking to increase your…

http://whole9life.com/2013/02/you-count-more-than-your-calories-do/ <-- yes they do recommend not logging at all. I logged during mine but wish i didn't because i was so obsessive over it all... now i dont log but still eat paleo and i feel so free! what the others said, planning ahead is key. I'm a huge fan of crock pot…

i went paleo in hopes to reduce my heart burn and it completely eliminated it! I suggest starting with the book It Starts With Food. Eating this way is totally different from the standard american diet (SAD, funny thats the acrymn) but thats a good thing considering all the obesity issues that typical Americans have. I…

what they said!

55% of my daily intake is fat and my cholesterol numbers have actually IMPROVED since switching to this lifestyle from vegetariansm over the past year! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/AggieCass09/view/shocking-the-numbers-dont-lie-vegetarian-to-paleo-comparison-423960 now, where is my bacon!

this "expert" cannot be trusted!

but you should really do a legit (chest to deck) push up in the middle there!

i'm not crazy strict, I try to establish a balance of "mostly" paleo with the occasional treat as needed to maintain a sustainable diet/life balance. I still eat some diary because it doesnt upset my tummy.

Hi there. In response to your vege to paleo question... I have a gluten allergy that I didn't know about when I was a vegetarian. I had bad heartburn that medicine wasn't curing so I tried paleo as as a last ditch effort and literally in 2 days I felt amazing. Completely rid of heartburn and off all my meds. So the…

Thank you :)

Crap! The last photo got cut off :( here is the direct link: http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee427/ckstacey/BFA3BAE7-E78C-4214-9454-8D41EA5B8ABF-13969-000005B04C2B0EE7.jpg

two words: Johnny. Football.

after i have babies...lol

one more thing, even after i was injured out of my own stupidity, i was able to modify the work outs and still maintain my fitness. The purple bikini picture was just before injury at the height of my fitness when i was doing the Whole30 and the green shorts is as of today, 4 months after i got stitches (i had 6 weeks of…

I also want to say CrossFit isn't the end all be all solution, but it has worked for me and tons of my friends. Also, eating is 80% of the battle and my diet has significantly improved from my vegetarian ways consisting of lean cushiness "healthy" whole grains, and lots of faux meat products.

I've had great success on this. I started out as a vegetarian (high carb by default) and now I follow a high fat and high protein diet. Here are my blood results: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/AggieCass09/view/shocking-the-numbers-dont-lie-vegetarian-to-paleo-comparison-423960 while it may not be universal, this has…

hi Rachel! I also have 8 lbs to go...we can do this!

my apologies, wrong board---this is primal but not Whole30 compliment due to the diary in the cream of __ soups. sorry, save it for after your whole30!

I made this for dinner last night and it was so good! if you omit the cheese it should be whole30 compliant depending on what organic soup you select :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/AggieCass09/view/paleo-primal-king-ranch-chicken-464535

^ this!

Id pick a weight that is 40-50% of your 1RM for that volume of reps, something that you can do 50 of and still keep the form. since they said squat clean and jerk--id say its a squat clean <pause> jerk. This is again to emphasize form and not to just rely on momentum to get the bar overhead. sounds like a fun wod! good…

i do weekly weigh ins, but they have no bearing on my plan--i will keep up with the 30 day challenge as is regardless of what the scale says. I also track my food because it holds me accountable--but i wont be focused on the red/green number at the end of the day. I just eat until i'm nearly full and that is that! This…

hi all! I'm Cass and I've done two Whole30's before. This month I'm doing a slightly relaxed one as I try to achieve balance in 2013. I look forward to supporting everyone and getting my body ready for babies this year!

Cass 25 (almost 26) Female 184.6 172.2 *I was at my goal weight 4 months ago :( 159 Also: I eat mostly paleo and I'm a Crossfitter

^^^ this very well said. I like having something to go back to to get on track. and I feel invincible when I eat paleo---it just works with my body! I still have alcohol and dairy/cheese though, in moderations...

I'm starting my Paleo30 tomorrow. I did a Whole30 in august with great results but now that I know what agrees with me and what doesnt, I want to try a less strict version in January and see how I do. I'll be blogging about it here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/AggieCass09/view/paleo30-december-28-january-26-459743 but…
