Purchase Your Vegetable CSA and Pick-up @ CFP!

Why a CSA? Becuase you can purchase local and fresh organic veggies for pick-up conveniently @ CFP. Veggies will be delivered to CFP every week from June until late October. All proceeds will go to support Adrian Fulk of Runaway Farm in Little Compton.

From Adrian:

Thank you for considering Runaway Farm CSA.  We are a small, diversified farm bordering Little Compton, RI and Westport,  MA. At Runaway Farm, we are committed to organic (not yet certified) and sustainable farming.

The Skinny on Stevia and Aspartame

The Skinny on Stevia and Aspartame

Judah Boulet

It is a known fact that large amounts of sugar has negative effects on the body, the most visual one being weight gain. Regardless if the sugar is normal white table sugar, sucrose, or high fructose corn syrup, large ingestion has been linked to high LDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, hypertension, and insulin resistance. One of the causes for these metabolic abnormalities is the effect of eating foods containing these sweeteners is their ability to spike insulin post meal consumption.

Eating Seasonally

New to Paleo? Try Eating Seasonally to Start.

By Joshua Bird

Paleolithic eating can seem very daunting at first. What, no cereal, bagels, pasta, sandwiches..? What will I eat?  What will my family say?   Now calm down, there are plenty of delicious choices that will not only affect your waistline- but also your bottom line; and get you reconnected with where your food comes from and the people who produce it.

From the Office of Programming at CFP…

Physically, please do not confuse strength with ‘bulk’.  The following program will build the former and not the latter.

Next week, we will be entering a new strength biased phase of training here at CrossFit Providence.  We will be using the totals you established during Mondays CrossFit Total as a jumping off point.

Along with mobility, strength is the primary limiting factor that we see amongst most athletes.  You will find that the time you are about to put in concentrating on strength will pay big dividends in increased work capacity and endurance – two things that lend well to success here at CFP and in any activity you choose.
