CrossFit & The Politics of Supplementation by Web Smith, CrossFit Chronicles
"With all of the nutritional influences around us, everything that we consume tends to be in violation of some Paleo seminar instructor's or affiliate owner's doctrine. The question that you have to ask yourself is, "Are my goals aligned with theirs?" If you are a 210 pound male, do you hang on to the words of a 125 pound woman? This is an important question! No matter who or how professional they are, personal preferences always influence academic and/or professional truths."
Post thoughts to comments.

Maybe it's just time to dust off the goals and reset the sights. Who's up for a self initiated challenge?? Seems I need one and am looking for a few like minds. Post if you're in and let's make it happen.

I'm in! It’s a great time for a re-examination of goals.
As long as we are baring souls…
I was struck by the reference to our diet being a game. I have been treating it like a game...one that I have to win. In the attempt to be perfect, I’ve lost sight of the fact that what's perfect for someone else, may not be perfect for me.
I agree it is counterproductive to listen to a 125 lb woman if she is only speaking of her own experiences and her own goals. However, it's a cop out to dismiss her knowledge and advice simply because she doesn’t look like you. Listen to what she says, research and then make decisions for yourself. If it works, great…if not, keep looking. There is so much information out there that, without help sorting out the minutia, it’s easy to become overwhelmed, especially if you don’t have the background to understand what you are reading. I have become obsessive and neurotic about trying to learn everything, but have come to the realization that going back to the basics is key. It doesn’t make much sense to venture out on a quest for the holy grail…that includes supplements…until the food has been cleaned up and dialed in. It’s very stressful to have tight control over every food choice, only to beat yourself up when the inevitable mistake comes along. Really shouldn’t be that hard.
I appreciate the CFO community because it is filled ith like-minded people who are not judgmental, yet help each other be accountable for their own goals and performances.

Triple Tomorrow... Hello Regional Training...
Eight years of eating the 'right' things started to wear on me. I felt like I was aging faster than in years prior and I was tired all of the time. I've become very lazy with my eating in the last year and have gained 15 of those beloved 50 back.
Last night I finished The Paleo Diet book and feel I have just tipped the surface of knowledge and cannot wait to learn more. What a perfect time for a self initiated challenge Brian!
