eat more = faster metabolism?
i will preface this with ... "bringing your calories up from less than ideal to ideal will improve overall fitness; and a little intermittent fasting isn't a bad idea either! "

Fish oil
Now, we’re not necessarily proponents of the Zone, but we do like what Dr. Sears is laying down on the subject of fish oil....http://journal.crossfit.com/2009/08/diet-inflammation-and-disease-part-4.tpl
Studies have proven that high concentrations of fish oil can be used to dramatically reduce inflammation, resulting in weight loss, improved blood chemistry and better overall health. More clinical research has shown that fatty acids, even when used to supplement a very poor diet, can help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, MS, bipolar depression, ADHD, chronic pain and Alzheimer’s—all because fish oils reduce inflammation. So give this free CFJ download a shot, and start adding fish oil to your diet today.

Nutrition information
Happy monday fellow omnivores! If you would like to further your understanding of the subject of WHY we at CrossFit advocate a lifestyle modeled after that of our paleolithic ancestors, check out books like "THE PALEO DIET" by Loren Cordain and "OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA" by Michael Pollan. Also, Michael Pollan's movie "Food, INC." is a real eye opener!

CrossFit Wed!
Congrats to all of the 24 lifesport members that came in yesterday... i think everyone kicked ass and made progress in one way or another... Dan was especially impressive improving his 500 jumprope time by about 40% then shaving several minutes off of hie Karen time!! HOO DEY!
and now the word from the fitness spotlight ... Chemicals That Make You Fat
Men’s Health chimes in by telling you that it’s not the food you eat…it’s the chemicals: Fat epidemic linked to chemicals run amok. I don’t completely disagree with them about chemicals (which is part of the reason why Real Food helps you get healthier), but come on, there is still nothing good about fast food.
Obesogens are chemicals that disrupt the function of hormonal systems…They enter our bodies from a variety of sources — natural hormones found in soy products, hormones administered to animals, plastics in some food and drink packaging, ingredients added to processed foods, and pesticides sprayed on produce. They act in a variety of ways: by mimicking human hormones such as estrogen, by misprogramming stem cells to become fat cells and, researchers think, by altering the function of genes.

For me personally, CrossFit is a unifying theory of fitness. It brings together into one coherent message the chaos of the incongruent incomprehensible load of bullshit being circulated and consumed by our society. Three years ago I found the CrossFit web site, I started doing the WOD and never looked back. Over the years I have drug countless others into the world of CrossFit and the most remarkable thing that I have noticed is, it has created a lasting change in all of them. They never go back to working out in their "pre-CrossFit" way ever again.
Checkout...
...CrossFit.com - i am doing todays WOD. For members: we will be doing the CrossFit total at the gym. Don't forget our FREE CrossFit intro every saturday at noon! Hope to see you! Have a great weekend!!

Will CrossFit make me look good naked?
CrossFit is the absolute best way yet devised to improve human performance. Aside from doing constantly varied functional movements at high-intensity, and being an infinitely scalable fitness approach, perhaps the most profound realization CrossFit offers is human performance directly parallels human health and wellness, We turn people into athletes!... yes it will also produce a great LOOKING body. :)
