			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nutrition is a huge part of bringing a Crossfit fitness routine full-circle. Basing your diet on veggies, a little starch and hardly any sugar is the best guidelines you can follow. Protein should be approximately 30% of your total calories per day. We&#8217;re talking lean meats, chicken, fish, tuna, salmon and other lean choices. Fat should be mostly monosaturated, and also account for 30% of your daily caloric intake. Your total caloric intake should be set at between 0.7 and 1.0 per pound of body weight.</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span>Other healthy choices to work into your diet should include green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and brown/whole grain starch. A lot of people usually stick to the outside aisles of the grocery story, avoiding the excess in the middle, which definitely helps.</p>
<p>Modern &#8220;diets&#8221; are inadequate for our genetic makeup. Evolution hasn&#8217;t particularly kept up with advances in food processing and agriculture, resulting in many different types of diseases. More frequent heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, and obesity just to name a few. This is why it&#8217;s best to take on a caveman, or Paleolithic approach to nutrition.</p>
<p>Avoiding excess consumption of high-glycemic carbs is of the utmost importance. These include white rice, bread, different types of candy, sodas, sweet and most processed carbohydrates. This is because the high starch and sugar content of these foods tend to spike your insulin levels, which can cause a whole plethora of disease and problems if done too often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t really grasped the concept of Crossfit yet, I&#8217;d like to take a little bit of time to go through the past, present and future of the program mindset. Crossfit is the top strength and conditioning program for many elite marine, military, police and tactical operations units, as well as martial arts experts and professional athletes worldwide.</p>
<p>The program defines itself as an unique fitness style that is broad, without boundaries, not specializing in a certain aspect or skill, rather, bringing together all attributes. Sports, combat and even survival tactics can all benefit and be rewarded by taking on this fitness mindset.</p>
<p><span id="more-3"></span>Crossfit is designed to be universal, scalable if you will. This makes it the perfect style for any type of committed individual, no matter if they&#8217;re old, young, or somewhere in between. Volume and intensity are the only variable, the program never changes.</p>
<p>Thousands of athletes have followed the daily posted  workouts, distinguishing themselves within the streets, combat, gyms and even their homes.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more workouts, ideas and articles. Much more is to come.</p>
