Day Three

Already three days in and you guys are rocking it! Super impressed by the NorCal CrossFit Crew! Keep it up!  You are on your way.  

Food Template 

• The majority of you are able to use the template successfully.  If so, keep doing what you are doing.  Make sure you are sharing your template with your partner.  
• If you are having any issues accessing the template, no worries.  You can also save your information in an excel or word document and attach that in a daily email to your partner instead.   
• A few of you are saving to the template as opposed to saving your own copy.  To save your own copy- click file, make a copy and change the name to your "Food Template: (insert your name here)".  If you are not sure how to do this please email me and we can work through it together.  Alternatively, you are welcome to save it in a excel or word document as noted above. 

Primal Standard Clarification

Also a few points of clarification regarding the primal standards..  A few of you have emailed and asked what foods are prohibited from the Primal Blueprint.  

• First, remember to focus on what you CAN eat rather than what you cannot.  There is an abundance of awesome food available.  I guarantee you will not suffer from a lack of variety.  The foods listed on the Primal Food Pyramid are all fair game. If it is not listed, do not eat it.  
• That being said, the standards explicitly state to "Eliminate: Sugary foods and beverages, grains (wheat, corn, rice, pasta, breads, cereals, etc.), legumes (soy and other beans), trans and partially hydrogenated fats, high-risk conventional meat and produce, and excess PUFA’s (instead, increase omega-3 oils)." (excerpt from your Primal Blueprint guidelines included in your welcome packet).
