Crossfit, Brazillian Juijitsu, and Paleo Eating

No Breakfast

Lately i have not been eating my first meal of the day till 10 or 11 oclock.  And i dont feel like i am depriving myself of food.  I just get up, go to work, and just dont feel hungry till that time.  Usually i would eat at 7.  I think being more vigilant about Paleo eating has made me less hungry.  When eating alot of carbs hunger pangs are often due to the body’s craving for sugar and the insulin spike that comes with it, not neccessarily true hunger.  Performance is still fine, i am on the mat grappling and feel greatt.

We’ll see how it goes.

Performance Menu

So the April 2009 issue of the Performance Menu includes an article i wrote on combining Brazillian Jui-Jitsu practice with outside strength and conditioning work.  I am pretty excited to have something in there alongside other coaches and athletes i admire and respect.  The article outlines a training scheme that has worked for me, and might work for other folks, or will at least give them a basis on which to design their own program.
