Whole 30 Success Story-Moira Sherry
Written by Moira Sherry
Seeing the Whole30 challenge posted on the CFP site was kind of like seeing hand stands come up in a WOD: I tell myself I’m going to kick up against the wall this time, but I usually back out mumbling something about “next time”. I had been toying with doing the Whole 30 for 6 months or so, but was putting it off because there were a few elements of it that were as much in my comfort zone as being upside down trying to lock out my arms. With handstands it’s the idea of my head crashing into the ground, and with the Whole 30 it was the thought of maintaining a paleo-ish (not a word) diet w/o the crutches of cream in my coffee or aspartame-filled diet ice teas. I realize how completely ridiculous that sounds, which is why I had to take on the Whole30 this past month. Oh, and I had the complexion of a Caserta’s pizza and read that kicking dairy would help.
Whole 30 Success Story- Erica Lima
My Whole 30 Experience by Erica Lima
It’s official. I completed the Whole 30. Although as tonight comes to a close I can honestly say that I did a Whole 31 and I am going to keep going – at least until Friday when I am going to go out and celebrate.
Whole 30 Success Story- Michael “Tuna” Mineau
As far as my physical being, I felt I was lacking in that area as well. The No Bread Challenge was an epic fail. Then one day I saw Judah with his shirt off he just looked different. He’s always had a little extra belly hang (I’d guess you’d call it that) due to all the weight he lost, but a lot of it seemed to be gone. I didn’t know it at the time, but about a week later he posted his Whole30 story. It sounded crazy to give up all that you were expected to, so I was just going to incorporate some of it. I figured I was 80/20 paleo, so I’ll kick it up a notch. When October 1st came, I actually had two drinks that night at a friend’s house. I felt like an ass and said, ‘I can do this’. I then took the challenge very seriously and technically started on the 2nd. I followed it 100%. I ate only real food -eggs, bacon, sausage, avocados, meat, chicken, fish, some fruit, cashew butter and nuts. I cooked everything in coconut oil. I ate a lot and never deproved myself. Sometimes I’d buy a pound of ground beef and have half of it for lunch and half for dinner. That was on top of what I had for breakfast and veggies and maybe a sweet potato with lunch or dinner.
October Nutrition Challenge- Are you ready for the Whole 30?

The Definitive Guide to a Cheat Day
The Definitive Guide to a Cheat Day
By Coach Gino
We have all been there before. In fact it is more likely that we recognize being there, now that we are Crossfitters. The crossroad between eating a paleo meal and what we know as a “cheat meal”. Between meat and veggies or that deep dish, thin crust, whole grain, deep-fried, stuffed, vanilla/strawberry/chocolate, alfredo, flaky, crunchy, creamy, yummy goodness. Though we work hard to obtain as good a workout as we can, there are still corners being cut, pardons being issued, and cracks fallen through when it comes to our nutrition. The following is just a perfect man’s opinion of what cheating is when it comes to paleo and what it means to stay within its realms.
