While exercise and training is what we specialise in and spend a lot of our focus - Nutrition is a huge factor in your Health, Fitness, Performance and maintaining a desirable body composition.
As pictured below, CrossFit has always regarded Nutrition as the 'base of the pyramid'. If you can optimize it, everything else will function better and have a higher ceiling.
Over the years we have had some different Nutrition challenges, all of which have been principles that we incorporate ourselves and agree with from a performance and holistic standpoint. Generally based around eating as much real food as possible and a good mix of Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates.. Our 2018 Nutrition Challenge was an outline designed to be as simple as possible with a minimum of rules and regulations.
This year we are going to take a bit of a different approach where we will look to address goals, habits, likes, dislikes and individual schedules of an individual basis. There are several programs that will hand out a 'cookie cutter' macronutrient recommendation, or simply enforce a regime with minimal calorie intake potentially alongside a large amount of exercise. If you become reliant no a low energy intake and large amount of exercise to get results, you have nowhere to go. However, we want to create a program where we actually increase your metabolic rate and aren't relying on starvation. With a system being designed around creating habits and finding something that will work for you long term. Your training should supplement your nutrition in achieving aesthetic results and also support mood, brain function and movement quality.
