Kate giving Fran a run for her money!

Miguel asked a good question on Tuesday with regards to weight loss while on Paleo.  CFV’s Colin Jenkins, who many of you know recommended that Miguel start adding to his immediate post workout snack and this got me thinking.  After a little bit of research on Robb Wolf’s site (for those of you who are new to CrossFit, Robb Wolf leads the CF Nutrition Seminars www.robbwolf.com ) and found this post workout meal of Rob’s.
“I used ~ 50g of Whey protein from a brand called Isoflex. It’s a mix of whey protein isolate, hydrosolates, glutamine peptides, some insulin sensitizers and other goodies. I ran with a vanilla flavor that is sweetened with sucralose. To this I added about ¼ can of coconut milk (legit Thai coconut milk…hardly any English on the can, not Whitey watered-down crap!) and 2 heaping tablespoons of coco powder. I shot this concoction down as soon as I wrapped up my CrossFit Football or ME-Black Box session. Recovery was good as in I was not particularly sore and miraculously, I started to lean out again, especially when I upped my fish oil to about 15g/day (Kirkland brand). Overall I was getting in less than 50g of carbs per day and feeling pretty damn good. Strength was solid, short met-cons were “ok” and I started to look like someone who “strength trained”.
