Monday, Jan. 6, 2014 – PALEO DAY ONE

>> day one starts now.

We just added these Whole 30 / paleo resources to our library. If you’d like to check them out, please do so in the gym. Feel free to take pictures of recipes inside and get ideas for the challenge. Keep in mind that Whole 30 and general paleo have some very specific distinctions. If you are doing Whole 30, you are not consuming any non-naturally occurring sugars (not even agave, honey, stevia, coconut sugar, etc.) and you are not paleo-fying recipes (paleo pancakes, muffins, pies, desserts, etc.). If you need Whole 30 support and clarity, please talk with your coaches. For those of you doing paleo, your guidelines are a little more lenient. Regardless of your approach, get accountability and plan meals ahead. Making it through week two will make all the difference in the world; cheating just sets you back, and you won’t reach the sugar / carb detoxification threshold / reset that your body needs. Stay strong and paleo on!
