Starches
Hey Ladies - I need some advise from those of you more experienced lifting/fat losing peeps. I have at least 80 lbs to lose to be in my "healthy" weight. This is taking into account being strong as hell....I am trying to figure out the best macros to shoot for as well as how often (and how much) starch I should eat from…

Need more protein!
Looking for ideas on how to get some more protein in my diet. I'll probably add in a couple shakes but I'd prefer real food ideas. I get so full eating large amounts of meat. Any suggestions? I typically eat 3-4 eggs every morning, lunch is a meat and veggie...dinner is the same.

Paleo Pup?
So my pup (she's 4.5) has always had a sensitive stomach. Over the last few months she's started throwing up in the mornings periodically, sometimes 2-4 times a week. I found out she has something called Gastroenteritis, which is basically stomach inflation. I'm considering moving her to a strict primal diet. I eat that…

Mobility
Okay fellow CF'ers, lets hear some tips! I've been CF'ing for about a year now (lazily until about 3 months ago). I'll spare all the details but I was in a box where I didn't get corrections and learned how to lift with poor form and always adding weight. 3 months ago I moved to a new box with an amazing coach where I got…

Pre WOD food
I use to be a 5:30 am WOD'r. I never ate before and did just fine. Recently I switched to 5pm WODs and am struggling a little. I eat breakfast around 9 and lunch around 1 because that's when I'm hungry. Now, during WOD's I am burping up my lunch! The poor guy next to me yesterday had to listen to me belch (oh yeah...out…

Fail?
Did anyone else fail this round? I did....AGAIN....but this time it wasn't ANY food....it was wine. Damn wine. I just wasn't ready to give it up. BUT, it's started making me feel really crappy when I drink it, even one glass, so I'm off it. I'll finish out the month and continue into next. I'm considering trying it again…

Mental vs. Physical
I know everyone has been here....walked up to the bar with a weight on it they didn't think they could do...so can you or can't you? I am trying to figure out if the next PR is out of reach because it's mental or because I'm not pushing myself hard enough. I know I'm getting stronger slowly but there are just times when I…

The dreaded HH
So I have some co-workers in town from out of state and tonight we're doing a big happy hour. I'm not going to lie, I love to drink. I can eat on plan for 30 days no problem, it's the damn wine! Any tips? PS...I hate soda water and tonic water.

Sudden knee pain
I have been CFing since July. I grew up playing soccer and have had some mild knee pains in the past but they have not bothered me at all since I started. Now, all of the sudden, they have been really sore for like a week! Previously I could do a full squat and now I struggle with even 1/4 depth. I'm going to go have them…

Looking for some CF support!
I love CF. Seriously. But lately I've been finding myself not getting my butt out of bed to WOD at 5:30. I never regret going, but I still struggle to get there sometimes. I know I just need to get over myself. Anyway, I have lots of Paleo support people and they help. So now I'm looking for CF support to help keep me in…

Starting the 8th
I know...why not start today? I'm going to my in-laws this weekend who live on a farm. All I can expect there food wise is processed and canned stuff covered with melted Velveeta Cheese.....cream of everything....baked goods galore. SO, Monday it is....after I indulge in homemade apple pie. My CF box did a 30 day Paleo…

Sweet Tooth!! HELP!
I have a serious sweet tooth right now! What are your solutions to kick it?

Mid day crash
I am three days into pure Paleo and I started crashing hard core around 1:00. Any ideas? I had class late last night and went to CrossFit this morning at 5:30 but I slept pretty good all night. I ate breakfast and lunch, maybe I need another snack in there somewhere? I'm just not hungry.

A few questions
I'm all in here people! I've been contemplating this change for a few weeks and am ready to get going. I have a few questions.... #1 Is sodium intake an issue? I've done diets....lots of diets...and when I'm eating real food I always had to stay away from sodium....which meant deli meat. I don't plan on doing it often, but…

Considering Paleo
I am 75 lbs over weight. I'm tired of all the fad diets. A couple weeks ago I joined a CrossFit gym and am ADDICTED! I've always been able to eat healthy if I wanted to. My issues with weight loss have always revolved around the lack of interest in exercise. Now that that issue seems to have been resolved I need to refocus…
