Lots of questions are often raised about dairy, and more specifically milk, and why it doesn't have place in a paleo lifestyle.  Mamasita shared a post back in May on some information she learned at the Whole 9 nutrition workshop.  As a follow up, here are some interesting posts from Feasting on Fitness on the subject.

1. Sign up for your post-lockdown BodPod test, if you haven't done so already.  As of this post, I don't see sign-ups for the following people:

  • Amy Hitch
  • David Nix
  • Tracy Lazurri
  • West Streib

2. Be sure your BodPod tester takes your "after" pictures.  Remember, these pictures will be judged by select trainers (and ONLY those trainers!) for points.

3. I will leave a folder by the sign-in computer - if you kept your food log using the paper one I provided, please leave it in the folder.  If you kept your foodlog online, please email it to me at jessicaard@gmail.com.  Please get these to me no later than Friday, July 2nd.

The sooner everyone gets me these things, the sooner I can reward the winners!

Yes, we talk about it all the time... Shane discusses it in his Thursday Paleo sessions and there have been many posts to this nutrition blog about it.  But when referring to Paleo and a healthier lifestyle, food quality cannot be discussed enough.  Here's another interesting read on the importance of grass-fed beef in your diet.

One of the most common issues that arises for people when starting a new paleo lifestyle is "What do I do when I travel?"  The easiest answer = BE PREPARED.

]]>Lockdown in Full Swing!http://www.crossfitnorthatlanta.com/nutrition/2010/6/3/lockdown-in-full-swing.htmlJessA2010-06-03T15:04:30Z2010-06-03T15:04:30ZWe're just a couple of days into lockdown, and I hope that everything is going smoothly for everyone so far!  I have a couple of administrative items to take care of to make sure I've included everyone that wanted to be a part of the lockdown.  

Shown below is a spreadsheet listing everyone that responded to the lockdown post.  It lists the BodPod test, before pics & buy-in.  If I've received that particular item from you, the column was marked with a "Y".  The BodPod column reflects all those individuals that are signed up for tonight's testing as well, which is when those individuals will also get their before pics.  Please note, if you have taken your pics, and your column is not marked, this is because we are compiling a folder to store the pics in and I have not yet been able to sort through them. 

Please remember - all buy-in monies are due to me by tomorrow, Friday, June 4th.  I need to be able to announce rewards so you know what you're working towards! 

If I have included you in the list, and you have decided not to be a part of the lockdown, please let me know so I don't follow up any further.  Or, if I have not included you in the list and you should be, also let me know.

List is in the full post.

I ran across this article on Robb Wolfs site.  A reader of his blog wrote in with his own personal experiment with eating Paleo and performing in an ultra-marathon.  A 50k of trail running and how he prepared with Paleo.  Oh yea, and this was the first race he had ever attempted.
