Nutrition

At Crossfit Full Circle we believe there are two guiding principles governing nutrition: What and How Much?

What should I eat?
The answer to this question is determined first by the ideas of the Paleo diet.  Why this diet?  The Paleo diet is based on evolutionary biology but is a simple yet remarkably effective diet for fat loss and halting or preventing a number of degenerative diseases. To reap the benefits of the most effective nutritional strategy known, one need simply build meals from the following:

• Lean proteins (ideally) grass fed meat, free range fowl and wild caught fish
• Seasonal fruits and vegetables
• Healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil

We highly recommend you explore the following links for more information pertaining to the Paleo diet, AFTER coming in and talking to us of course:

• The Paleo Diet – Dr. Loren Cordain
• The Paleo Solution Blog – Robb Wolf
• Mark’s Daily Apple and the Primal Blueprint

How much should I eat?
Don’t you just hate it when the answer to a question is, “Well, that depends?”
The answer to the question of how much should you eat is…well, that depends.
Are you trying to lose body fat?  Are you an endurance athlete?  Are you a power athlete?  Are you trying to get bigger?
All of those athletes will eat different amounts of food but we here at Full Circle believe they should ALL eat the SAME TYPES of food. Complicated, I know.  Sorry ‘bout that but life is complicated.

Bottom line: We have several years of experience helping all types of athletes achieve their fitness goals through combination of eating a clean diet, training smartly, and tracking their progress.  Not easy but highly effective.
