Paleo Challengers are in Week 3 and some of you are seriously kicking some ass, losing inches, crushing PR’s, and eating some seriously awesome food. Every Paleo Challenge group and every new ancestral-eater struggles with many of the same things. I’ve heard some great stories from Challengers so far about their adventures with Tupperware, managing [...]
Thanks for everyone’s awesome feedback on Kala’s guest post last week to kick off the Paleo Challenge. The Challenge is heating up — the food logs are inspiring with all sorts of meat, healthy fats and veggies galore. The Week 1 retention rate is high and so is morale. Using my tips and guidelines, doing [...]
The Paleo Challenge began Monday with 25 Challengers (five Category A, twenty Category B). We also have a couple guest participants from CrossFit Paradiso — Lauren & Camille! My own sister is also participating in the Challenge. Some of you have met Kalawai and might think she’s got a leg up on the Challenge living [...]
The 3rd CFSB Paleo Challenge starts Monday!!! The Meidav siblings (Shira and Arbel) have dominated the last two challenges. I’m not sure if Pia (above) or Gia will be competing, but if so, the next Challenge group has yet another Meidav to contend with. The purpose of the Challenge is an opportunity and incentive to: [...]

CrossFit boxes across the world are communities where people seek to help each other attain fitness goals. As they evolve, fitness goals tend to become reliant upon more than just training. We flourish partly due to relationships with members as a form of motivation and fun. If you’re progressing, you’re flourishing more also thanks to [...]
Fat is the bomb in my book. While this Fat post is long, it’s important, so hopefully it doesn’t bomb. It’s the final part in the 3-part “How Much” series (pt. 1: CHO, pt. 2: Pro). I chose to get down to brass tacks rather than get into the science of dietary or body fat [...]
After every workout the first thing on my mind is, damn I’m hungry… The goal for this post is to give you some basic understanding why timing your meals around your workout (more specifically post workout) is so important. After completing a WOD your body is in what we call a catabolic state, that means [...]
Athlete Spotlight: Shira Shira won CFSB’s 2nd annual Paleo Challenge and cash prize by an impressive margin, thanks largely to her approach to the Challenge, to CrossFit and perhaps to life in general. I had to Google Shira’s favorite motivational WOD phrase “By the power of Grayskull!” (post your favorite to comments, please). I found that it’s the activation phrase required [...]
