What is CrossFit? Promo Video

CrossFit is the most similar style of training to what we do at Mohr Fitness.  We share the same hatred for ellipticals, and the same desire to work hard and achieve drastic results.  This video gives you a good example of how this style of training is different than what you've been doing at your cuddly little fitness center.

4 Hour Body Diet

Rather than a Daily Challenge today, I'm going to post the rules to the diet I will be following for the next 30 days.

"Slow-Carb Diet" from "4 Hour Body"
1. Eat nothing white, or that could be white (bread, pasta, cereal)
2. No fruit
3. No drinking calories (exception 2 glasses red wine per night are allowed)
4. Eat the same meals over and over (same thing for breakfast and lunch, I like to mix up my dinner)
5. One day per week, eat ANYTHING you want ALL day long.


Proteins
*Egg whites with 1–2 whole eggs for flavor (or, if organic, 2–5 whole eggs, including yolks)
*Chicken breast or thigh
*Black beans
*Beef (preferably grass-fed)
Pork
*Fish
Legumes
*Lentils (also called "dal" or "daal")
Pinto beans
Red beans
Soybeans
Vegetables
*Spinach
*Mixed vegetables (including broccoli, cauliflower, or any other cruciferous vegetables)
*Sauerkraut, kimchee Asparagus
Peas
Broccoli
Green beans

The author suggests taking one choice from each category at every meal, and has starred the choices that are most effective.

I am cooking with olive and coconut oil only, and eliminating all dairy (except eggs) as well.
