Eggs Every Breakfast?

Ahhhh a few days into a Paleo Challenge and already people are starting to squirm....the sugar cravings, the moodiness. Now we're talking!

IT'S WORKING.

AHCCZ? (Always Hungry Carb Crazed Zombie)
This is Robb Wolf's terminology for folks who have recently started a nutrition plan (specifically the Zone) and who are finding themselves feeling like they are STARVING!

These folks typically ate high glycemic carbs at every meal and are now feeling starved. If you eat too many high-glycemic carbs (bread, fruit, or dense carb sources like yams) at EVERY meal, you are likely to find yourself in this state.

There is hope! Replace some of those high glycemic carbs with denser carb sources such as kale or spinach. Replace some of the others by eating 3X your normal amount of FAT.

Don't go crazy on the fat (don't eat a whole jar of almond butter to replace that banana) especially if you are trying to lose a fair amount of body fat, but additional fats can be substituted for some of your carbs if you find you feel like you're starving. (Think ZONE quantities, i.e. rather than 9 nuts, you now would get 27).

If you are interested in astute, in depth information about Nutrition, Robb Wolf will be giving a seminar at Team CrossFit Academy on August 28th. Details pending, but if you're interested, let Shannon know ASAP.

On another note, many amazing PR's from yesterday's Deadlift--Test for Max.
