Sorry for the long Nutrition post – but plenty of valuable reading for you on this rest day.
I do believe that changing your nutritional habits is the best way to start seeing quicker times, lifting heavier weights, decreasing your body fat and just feeling all-around better.
And it does not have to be dramatic changes. It is NOT easy, but after you get through 2 weeks or so, you probably won’t be looking back. Take this from a SUGAR JUNKIE – almost 100 grams of sugar by mid-morning. Getting off the crack was something I never imagined I could do.
Eat REAL FOOD. If there is a long list of ingredients, then look for a substitute.

Great post J9! Nutritional guidance is definitely a key factor in athletic development, as well as physical and mental wellbeing. And you certainly know a thing or two about nutrition :)))))))))
I’m so proud of you for sticking to the low sugar path. I will be back with a vengeance on the right track before you know it. Then we can go back to comparing breakfasts again :)))))
I have a slight problem with the “Good Foods List” in the CF Journal 3-Glycemic Index article. Actually I’ve had that problem since I read it last year…
The list contains “hot dogs, sausages, deli meat” under the low glycemic list (which is correct. they are certainly low glycemic foods), however, these foods are products of extreme processing, with very high sodium and cholesterol levels and a plethora of chemically engineered ingredients. Hence they cannot be actually good for anyone’s body. What I’m trying to say is, when they are posting such a limited list, they should have just kept it to the basics… But, what do I know.
I’m a huge fan of the Zone Diet. Google Books offers limited viewing of the Zone books now: http://books.google.com/books?q=the+zone+diet

I must admit, I have never in my life heard that Grains and Potatos were bad for you.

over-consumption of said foods are what cause problems for athletes and non-athletes alike.
we, as a generation, have been raised on white bread and processed foods… so for most part, we don’t know any different.
I am a firm believer that diet influences every aspect of your well-being, but with that being said, I often cheat and eat “off diet”. Hey, I am human, and I like ice cream, milk and peanut butter (Skippy to be exact).
what works best for me is eating well, and eating often.

w/e’s I have a cheat meal. I eat a cup of steel cut oats daily – zone approved, paleo not – confusing.
I use Naturally More PB as my fat in a snack – then I feel better about it 😉 I use broccoli as a starch sub a lot (meatballs & broccoli – yum!)

PS – another reason for eating well and cutting out most processed starch etc, is an example for my kids – type 1 and 2 diabetes runs in their family…

right on!
type 1 runs in my family, as well as hypertension (which I am currently at war with), and cancer.
if I can get my girls to eat well now, it will pay off later.

Good thing Beard is still a young one because birthday WODs usually = reps of the birthday age. However, I think we are in for a another format of pain for tomorrow…
I still can remember the soreness of Steve’s 36th!
