When starting with CrossFit, nutrition is a huge part of being successful in doing the workouts and feeling healthier and stronger. Start slow with cutting out certain foods in your diet for one week and incorporate one item that's Zone or Paleo and slowly ease into the new diet. Many people cut out too much too soon and send their bodies into shock, then withdrawal symptoms arise. Like with anything new, start slowly that way it's not so overwhelming to your system.

Tons of whole milk, meat (emphasis on red), raw veggies. Some fruit pre-workout/game. Water.

On game days, 2 large sweet potatoes (or other form of tuber) w/butter . Lots of water. During games, coconut water.

I don't measure b/c I'm lazy. But I'm also not fat. More time for my daughter. Win-win.

No added sugars. No crap foods. No 100 calorie Dannon Strawberry yogurt. No Honey Nut Cheerios. If a commercial says it's good for you, it's not. I @#@$%^! hate those ads.

I eat MP: "Mostly Paleo". Great diet, feels natural and fits with XF. Once you get your body tuned to Paleo it's actually hard to revert to eating crap.... you just don't like it. Simple formula: Eat food that has been minimally processed. Stay away from stuff that has a list of ingredients. For me its like this: Daily leafy greens, (I eat the stuff that tastes better cooked ... like spinach/kale/chard/collard greens). Animal protein: mostly birds (turkey/chicken/eggs), and pig. Cow meat every now and then. Not alot of dairy, but hard to resist good cheese. Probably should eat more fish. No fast carbs like bread, pasta, soda ... for sure no sugar. Brown or wild rice sometimes. Snacks and dessert: Nuts, dates, cranberries, apples, almond butter. Big meal of the day is lunch. Light alcohol and mostly red wine but you don't have to twist my arm to pound a few beers or six from time to time. The result after about 2 years of more or less consciously eating "clean food": Leaned out in a sustainable way, bedroom body ... plus plenty of energy to workout 4-5x a week with intensity and do things like 3 hour trail runs without finishing last... I'm not a PR-crazy Xfitter ... Just having fun jumping around with you all .... Love the energy of CSV ... Judd programming WIN ... CSV is the best!!!

Lots of good tips guys, thx. One way I control my adherence to the plan is to cook all my weekday meals on Sunday & portion out into gladware. I take them all to work on monday and CAN'T FAIL during the week. When I get off track, its always due to a Friday night, full cheat meal that turns into Saturday & Sunday binge. When I only allow a small cheat, or 1/2 cheat meal I am much more likely to stay on track over the weekend. I suppose 'no cheats' would be ideal... but I'm not sure that is for me ha ha. What do you all do to stay on track over the weekends? What are your thoughts on 'cheat meals'?
