SicFit.com and Tasty F'in Meals

Yesterday I filmed what will be the premier episode of Big Mike's Tasty F'in Meals
for Sicfit.com . This show's primary purpose is
to remove the idea that people do not have time to cook for themselves for one, and
to wipe away the lie that it is "Too Hard" to eat healthy and delicious at the same
time. This show will be exclusive to the SicFit Website!
The show will be highlighted early next week so be sure to check it out.

Webster Smith, Elliot Schrock, and Nicole Hughes have done an amazing job so far
with this new site! Their desire to highlight The Sport of Fitness, Underground
Strentgh Training, Parkour and other lesser known, unorthadox styles of training
which demonstrate the unlimited potential of human performance has been remarkably
portrayed by the website. This is a site that all athletes can respect because
when they use it, they will be better informed by the plethora of videos and all the
linked websites that these 3 individuals have worked so many hours for to bring to
our attention. Many props to all of them for thier work!

Paleo

 

Here are 2 of the Men responsible for bringing the Paleo Diet into the lives of myself and many other Crossfitters. If not for Robb Wolf I would probably still be eating Bread and Cheese everyday. I would have never been aware of how much I was intolerant to them both. Now when I eat bread I have major allergies for a few days and both of these items will congest my digestive track for half a week. I can't even describe the differences I've seen with my Asthma(live long issue) that I've experienced since changing over to this style of eating.

My nutrition, which I believed to be good before has changed for the best because of the work of both Dr. Loren Cordain and Robb Wolf. I am now in the best health and as fit as I could have ever imagined. The gentleman to my right in this picture(John Welbourn) is now working together with the 2 on a new company called Paleo Brands.

After attending their seminar, I am inspired even more by their work. They are providing an opportunity for all people to understand the benefits of the Paleo Diet and getting a hold of prepared quality food much easier than ever before.

Wake up!

The Truth is upon you!

Paleo in a Nutshell

I don't know how many times I've said to people that we do what we do so that we can age well and decrease our chances of most problems people experience in their later years.

Who you are and your condition of life will be based entirely upon what you do for yourself now.

This video is right up my alley with the way I think about fitness and in health.

Vanity training is Finished. Who cares what you look like. Take care of your health now and let your future be one that is enabled.

Paleo Pizza

I saw this video on Crossfit Diablo's site. After I thought, "Wow! Is this real?" I realized that I can't be surprised by amount of effort anybody will go through to neglect others health anymore.

It did remind me however of Jeremy talking about making a Paleo version of pizza the other day. I don't know if he figured out a way to replace the common ingredients of Dough or cheese in this concoction, but the thought of a healthy pizza with some flavor to it sounded like a grand idea to me.

If you have any ideas of how to make this work, let me know. I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks Robb Wolf

When I went to the Crossfit Games this year I told Robb Wolf that I wanted to get him to help me dial in my diet. Turns out the guy has givin so much information to me that I already had that I didn't need him to help me personally. My body needed me to make a few changes and I did. Without Robb though, I may still be listening to all the other crap people are teaching.

What I've done differently. Its called the Paleo diet! Since I started 2 months ago I've cut out most dairy (cheese, milk, and yogurt)and increased my nutrient dence carbs(veggies and fruit). My fat consumption is higher too!

What is the result? My workouts are better, my recovery is faster, and I'm even leaner than I've ever been!

Everybody I talk to veiws nutrition the way that I used to. Grains are good for you and Fat is bad for you.

Guess what... This is wrong. No question about it. Healthy and strong bodies are chosen through our nutrition!

Thanks Robb Wolf yet again for another confirmation.

Can it be done?

How many veggies do you need to get in all you micro nutrients if you Zone?

Turns out it a whole lot. I have been dialed in on the Zone with a paleo approach to food quality over the last 5 weeks. Robb Wolf said a a Crossfit Cert in Ft Worth that if you eat a diet that is high in Vegetables as you carbohydrate source with some fruit that you won't have to worry about taking in a multi-vitamin. I always heard how impossible it was to get enough micro nutrients without a vitamin. Well now I realize that Impossible is nothing.

Bell Peppers, asparagus, spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, okra and yams. This is what fills my refrigerator these days. I don't have the ability to run out of this stuff because my diet requires so much of all of this that to get my fill, I have to eat out of these selections all day long. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Late night snacks... VEGGIES! They are always there.

Think about this... I didn't touch this stuff growing up. Some of you don't touch them as adults. Most Zone followers are still getting the carbs from bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice or some other filler that has no nutritional value (or no health benefit). I will not say this is an easy way to eat some grub, but I will say that it is the best way. A funny thing happens when you learn to eat better. Foods you used to hate become Delicious! Foods you used to love suddenly become bland and truly make you feel like Crap.

Fix the quality of you food! No excuses! You are grown now right? Children Food will no longer due!

I'm Hungry

I just saw JDP's Blog (John Del Peral). Check it out. He is right on point. If you haven't met him yet, he is our newest trainer from and finishing his schooling up at Texas State. You will be seeing him around more now that he has finished his internship shadowing me every day in the morning classes over the summer.
I have been told that he is my protege. All I can say about him is that he is a damn good trainer. If you haven't met him or had the privilege of working out in one of his classes yet, you are really missing out.
Be guided my his attention to detail and eagerness to do everything he does with precision and discipline!
