Paleolithic diet is so easy, cavemen actually did it
By Christina Ianzito (Saturday, January 2, 2010)
Here's a question for the weight-conscious: How often do you see a fat caveman? Exactly. Maybe excepting Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, most portrayals of the people who lived 12,000 years ago depict svelte folks baring rock-hard -- if hairy -- abs. What's their secret? Surely it's great exercise to be out chasing woolly mammoths and foraging for berries all day. And it helped that there were no Fruity Pebbles or venti white chocolate mochas hundreds of generations ago...

...It's near impossible to even guesstimate how many people are eating Paleo, but you'd likely find followers at one of the 1,000-plus CrossFit affiliates across the country, including at least 15 in the Washington area. Most are educating their clients about eating Paleo, says Chris LaLanne, owner of LaLanne Fitness in San Francisco and the grandnephew of the fitness guru Jack LaLanne. The younger LaLanne is a writer for Cordain's Web site."-Washington Post

PALEO RESOURCE by CrossFit Kids
Look at your plate, make a fist, eat that much meat every meal; turn your hand over and fill it with nuts and seeds, eat that much good fat, fill the rest of your plate with stuff you found in the fruit and vegetable aisle. Fill your plate this way at every meal, don't eat more.

It's a new year and we're adding a new element to our program. Today we are off to Ramona, Ca. to attend the CrossFit Kids Certification. This is something we have wanted to do for a long time and both Maribel and I are excited to add Kids Classes to our schedule in the new year the "Brickhouse." Our program is about to get a whole lot more fun! This will also allow me to reach out to local schools and teach children about the importance of fitness and nutrition.



MARIBEL coaching the final class of 2009... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
