Day Zero Nutrition

The other day a long time member of ours stayed late after class to work on some mobility and stretching off to the side while I had a new member going through an Intro session. This long time member has been with us for well over 4 years and attributes much of her success to a solid nutritional foundation. That being said, the next day she confided in me and was amazed with the amount of time I spent talking about nutrition to the prospective member and was curious to know exactly what all we talked about with our new members on ‘day zero’ at the Intro session. (as it pertains to nutrition) I thought it would be a good reminder for many of you, but also a little insight as many of you did not go through an Intro session in the early days of our program.

Below, is taken directly from my outline, with added notes about common conversation topics.
A) Eat real food
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
B) Track/log
Accountability (coaches), journals, get family/friends/coaches involved to help
C) Planning
When to cook, grocery shopping, scheduling/managing work/family duties
D) Learn about your body and what food does
Macro-nutrients, balance/moderation, energy, sleep, insulin-sensitivity

It doesn’t matter how many classes you attend each week, how many hours in a day you train if you are not addressing your nutrition to reach your goals, you are wasting your time and money.

Ye just need to ask if you have questions! We would all take great pride and pleasure in speaking with you.

    Nancy B shared a great quote with me today about crossfit…just wanted to pass it on…

    “90% of growth comes from the last 10% of your performance when the body says, “enough” because that’s what the body is used to – the mind much override this and push the body into new frontiers.  That is the fundamental formula for results.”
