“Consuming foods with omega 6 fatty acids in proportion to omega 3 fatty acids at about a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio is considered beneficial. However, the Western diet sits at about a 16-20:1 ratio, meaning excessive intake of foods causing inflammation, with little to counteract.”

One of CrossFit’s recent undertaking is against big beverage companies. In particular Coca-Cola and Gatorade.  I completely admit, I have not followed these with any amount of detail because quite frankly, it does not matter to me that much.  Essentially what Crossfit and these companies are going back and forth about is clarity in advertising for their products and lack of integrity in their “science-proven” research.

News flash:  Crossfit is good for your gut! While this is very true in the quite literal sense on the outside; it is also true on our insides in the form of “bacteria”.

Nutrition Challenge Brief:

After running a number of different challenges, from cleanses to Whole30 to Paleo or zone, we have decided to take a page out of CFNE’s books and do a different kind of nutrition challenge.  This challenge really just focuses on our (and CrossFit’s) philosophy on food – Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants.
