I am not a big coconut fan when it comes to the taste buds, but there are definitely some nutritional values to eating or using coconut products...

Training Nutrition and Recipes

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 10:24:00 GMT

Here are some great over reaching concepts on general good nutrition principles to support training. Also, look at the Nutrition for Dummies section for some good points on nutrition. These hints are based off a zone style diet model and lean more toward a slightly higher carbohydrate intact than a paelo diet.

Recipe Book

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 11:19:00 GMT

OK, you asked for it and it is coming! We should have a recipe book link up and running soon. This is going to be done allowing members to post recipes by categories. The link will be in the left hand column of the food blog and should be up and running soon!

Remember to make good food choices! Continue to focus on food quality. We took some preliminary measurements on some athletes yesterday and I was blown away by the body composition changes and performance. Remember, "Food is Fuel, give your body the good Stuff"

What's Up Food Challenge Participants?

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:01:00 GMT

Hey folks, I need to know what's going on with your food challenge? How's it going? I had my own little food challenge called. "the flu." Yuck. But hopefully, I am back and ready to rock. Great way to lose weight though, just joking, not recommended. I have had several members that have come to me with great results. Remember that all results are not measured the same. Post your comments to the food blog so we can hear what's going on. Also, if you are having problems, contact one of the the coaches to do some planning and problem solving. Be ready to show your food journal because that is where it's at! Later. BTW, early big loses are normal and then the weight loss can taper off. Be sure to look at food content and quantity.

Also, read some of the success stories of people who have used the Paleo-Diet without weighing, meauring or counting calories.

Vitamin D -Supplementation

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 04:01:00 GMT

If you are like me you are always looking for holistic ways to improve or facilitate the human body's ability to recover, repair and retard degenerative changes. Read this link on Vitamin D supplementation and decide for your self if taking Vitamin D would be good for you. I take it but not at the levels recommended, but I am about to. Recommend levels for starting supplementation appear to be around 10,000IU per day and then after 4-5 weeks reduce to 5,000IU per day. By the way, I like this website.
