PALEO CHALLENGE OCT. 1
By
River supervising the wall ball action!
The Paleo Challenge is coming! For anyone that is interested we’re going to be holding an informal challenge for the month of October (with a well scheduled cheat night on the 10th to celebrate the Fran Finals and Eric’s B-day) ending on the most glorious cheat day of the year – Halloween. Keep an eye on the Nutrition Forum for a special Paleo Challenge section to write about what you’re eating, not eating, missing, waking up at night craving, and all of the amazing benefits that you’re experiencing.
Today’s Workout:

Extra bonus points to whoever can find us some Paleo friendly bacon. (this is very serious)

i agree with traver
September 17th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
I agree with Nick agreeing with Traver.
I think we’ll all find out who our real friends are when we start Paleo.

Yeah! I am on day 41 with 1 cheat day at 31. Lindsay K. from CFV has some super good recipes so I’ll send them along or get her to send them to you all. Good luck! Can’t wait to see the benefits that you all reap.

Sweet Cheeks Headquarters approves of this challenge!!
But whatdoya mean Paleo bacon?? Isn’t Paleo meat, veg, fruit, nuts and stuff?? Bacon is meat. Whole Foods and Traders usually has uncured nitrate free kinds.

Pay no attention if you guys notice fewer seagulls around the downtown area in the month of October. (It’s paleo on a budget)
September 17th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
how ’bout turkey bacon?
September 17th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Have you ever tried to catch a seagull? Little bastards are illusive.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
and Jeff, that’s disgusting, but also quite resourceful. i approve.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
I didn’t intentionally refer to magician seabirds.I meant “elusive.” Although I bet a magician seabird would be hard to catch too.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I wonder if magician birds would pull humans out of a hat? discuss.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
i think only rabbits live in hats.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Cavemen drank coffee, right? I think I saw it on NOVA
September 17th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I think Starbucks was established during the Carboniferous era, so you’re ok Lisa

Su, wait till you try my “Seagull Under Glass” with a white wine reduction, you’ll be a convert. Also, my “Ground Squirrel Pate” has been described as “life changing”, for the better I swear.
September 17th, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Eric, I don’t think birds would pull humans out of a hat because we can’t fly away in a “crowd captivating” way like those little white pigeons can.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Does chewing and then spitting the food out count as actually eating it? Jeff, I hope you cook those seagull’s, we have a few too many of them, squirrel’s too… but stay away from River!
September 17th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
KJ – I just chewed up two bags of M&M’s and spit them all out. Nothing impure enters into this temple. (and thank you for looking out for River)
September 17th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
It appears everybody’s crushing it at work today
September 17th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Hey hey, I am crushing it at work too. Check this out…I am in class teaching right now!
Bacon isn’t paleo if it has salt or anything added. But if you aren’t going hardcore I’d say it’s fine if it’s nitrate free.

(1) Jaala – Everything we do at CPC is hardcore. Go big or go home… or go to in n out.
(2) Traver & KJ – How do you prevent impurities from being absorbed on your tongue during the chewing and tasting process? Some kind of tongue condom? Thin enough to feel good but thick enough to protect?
(3) Jeff – I’m not convinced that humans can’t fly out of a hat in a captivating fashion. Check out the kangaroo man on crossfit venturas site a couple days ago. If he jumped out of a hat I would be captivated.
(4) There is simply no way that I can stop drinking coffee without serious detriment to my PhD. There’s gotta be some kind of loophole. Claw, get on it!

This is one of the most outrageous threads I’ve ever read on any site, CrossFit or otherwise. Laughing my ass off down here.
Traver I’ve heard tell of insulin response elicited just by chewing high glycemic foods. No hard data to support it at the moment, but when I’m 1 week into a 2 week strict Zone/Paleo/Fish oil run I swear even smelling donuts, cupcakes, and cookies gives me insulin coma!
