Diet and Nutrition for SandBox Summer Camp

(throwback to a time when Juvie and I thought we were actual cavemen.  Partners in Paleo)

Diet and Nutrition for SandBox Summer Camp

During SandBox Summer camp we are encouraging participants to change the way they look at their diet and nutrition.  I am not making the recommendation for everyone to eat a specific way, but I am recommending that everyone eat with their fitness goals and lifestyle in mind.   This DOES NOT mean a crash diet, where you stop eating bread.  What I want is for everyone to take a look at how they are currently fueling their body and make adjustments that will make sense for the results they want to achieve.  Everyone should take a moment to think about what exactly that is.  (go ahead, we can wait….)

When am I eating?

Where….?

How (much)...?

Why…?

Who (am I eating for/with)...?

Many athletes have been left wondering how and what they are supposed to be eating.   We WILL NOT be scoring your food logs based on what you are eating.  Athletes and teams will get points for just logging in your food everyday.  As far as the question of what you and how you should be eating, my quick answer to that is this: EAT CLEAN.  

EAT CLEAN.

Take all of the junk out of what you eat.  All the processed foods, all the sugar, the artificial sweeteners, all the ingredients you can’t pronounce, the grains, the flours, the starches out of your diet for the next 5-6 weeks.  

EAT REAL, WHOLE FOODS.

Choose to eat foods that’s fresh and real.  If you can help it, go with organic.  I am NOT talking about freshly baked whole grain bread.  Bread = flour = grains = NO REP

If you would like to get into more specifics, please contact your team counselor or set up some time to come in and talk with me.   I am more than willing to sit down with any of you and get more detailed about what and how much you should eat.  This morning I sat down with a couple people and help them set caloric goals for them to hit each day.  We’re all in this together!

#saynotomonsanto

Since I keep seeing the Monsanto commercial on the television.  I thought it would be funny to search on Monsanto on the interwebs to just see what comes up.   During my search for #saynotomonsanto, this is what I found.

Monsanto is the leading producer of genetically engineered seed.  These are the GMO guys.

Just in case you missed the 60-minutes on CrossFit's founder.

SandBox Summer Camp

Remember that one summer we got six packs, learned to eat healthier, kayaked, biked, danced, and played sports at the beach? By the end of SandBox Summer Camp 2015 the answer to this will be a resounding yes!

What is SandBox Summer Camp?

All members (non-members are also welcome!) who sign up will be divided into different teams. Each team will be led by one of our beloved badass coaches, the Camp Counselor. The objective of the camp is to work and play together to promote healthier lifestyles.

What happens during the 6 weeks?

Throughout the six-week camp, teams will compete against each other through various challenges (i.e. cook offs, amraps), chill during team outings (bike rides, bonfires, kayaking, dance parties, beach sports, etc.), and ultimately work on bettering themselves with the personal guidance of their Camp Counselor. Points will be earned through participation and strong performances in the challenges. The emphasis on where the bulk of the points can be earned will revolve around activities and challenges centered around promoting health and fitness!

When does Summer Camp take place?

On May 16 we will announce the teams and have an official team weigh-in. Camp members will have the option of getting their body fat measured byfitnesswave.com for $70 (price includes the second measurement at the end of camp) or by an electric scale for free. Only those who get measured by FitnessWave will be eligible to win the grand prize awarded to the person with the biggest body composition transformation. On June 27 we will have a weigh out and conclude the camp.

This sounds fun! How do I sign up?

This sounds like too much work. How do I pass?

You don't. Levels of participation are totally scalable just like any wod in any given class, and your teammates will shoulder the load when you are unable to. Our goal is to be as big a part of your life as you want in order to bring you the results you seek. During this six week period we will create an environment where we all can help each other take on healthy sustainable lifestyle practices while helping you lose the fat -- just in time for the summer!

What are the costs?

$20 to register (free camp t-shirt included) and optional cost of $70 if you want to get an accurate body fat measurement from FitnessWave (required to be eligible for the individual diet competition.)
