Nutrition
I’m really happy to post some of our paleo success stories here. A little over a month ago, we challenged our members to “eat real” for one month, dropping processed foods, sugar and flour, grains, legumes and dairy. You guys not only took to the challenge, but you proved to yourself that it works! We’ve seen huge improvements in weight and body composition, energy, fitness levels and even in mood. Thanks for sharing your experiences; you will help inspire others to do the same.
Spring has finally arrived, so it’s a perfect time to get serious about your diet. And since Robb Wolf will be in town next weekend to present his Paleo Solution Seminar, what a perfect time to launch another EAT REAL Challenge here at the StrengthBox. We saw some solid transformations from our challenge in 2010, and now armed with Robb’s book and seminar knowledge, we expect to see some great results again!

Whey protein powders are big business – just pick up any muscle or fitness magazine and look at the ads. Many believe that protein supplementation is necessary to achieve their goals, and will consume massive quantities of the stuff thinking they’ll end up looking like the models in the ads. With such persuasive marketing, it’s no wonder people get duped.
Last week I had the pleasure of appearing on the CP24 television show “Wylde on Health” with non-other than best-selling author Robb Wolf. In fact Robb’s new book “The Paleo Solution” just made the New York Times bestseller list yesterday! If you haven’t already, I can’t recommend the read highly enough. Wolf has a way of making the scientific enjoyable, and you’ll end up with a thorough understanding of the “original human diet”.

From the ancient Greeks to the Japanese, sea vegetables have been eaten by the people of various cultures for thousands of years. And no small wonder, as they are one of the most mineral-rich foods around, containing all the minerals that are found in human blood. In fact, researchers claim that the chemical composition of the oceans are very similar to that of our own bodies. And sea vegetables absorb all of those nutrients, unlike land vegetables which are often grown in nutritionally-depleted soil in large commercial farms.
One of the most frequent questions I hear is “how long before I can see results”? The answer is usually not so crystal clear — people define results differently, and have far different expectations about what they can achieve. Most people focus on their physical appearance when they talk about success:

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out over the Easter long weekend to the StrengthBox Open House. It was great to see some good friends, meet some new ones, and get a chance to socialize in the gym over some paleo snacks and organic wine!
Television ads for yogurt have always been a bit suspect. Aimed relentlessly at women, they make it seem like yogurt should rank alongside chocolate, sex and shoe shopping when it comes to the female gender. But what is being flogged is not plain-Jane yogurt. Traditional yogurt has never been a big seller in North America, but the food marketers have figured out how to manufacture and market low-fat and no-fat varieties to the hoards of women on endless diet cycles. The result? Many have been duped into regularly consuming Frankenfood-like concoctions containing aspartame, fillers, stabilizers, conditioners and a host of artificial and “natural” flavors. Yogurt sales have since boomed.
A lot of people often use a lack of money as an excuse to why they don’t lead a healthy lifestyle. Often it is just a cop out, but sometimes it’s a legitimate excuse. So the purpose of this post is to share some simple tips and ideas that I have found useful in my quest for a bigger, leaner and healthier body while living on a student budget without clipping coupons out of the Sunday paper (although there is nothing wrong with that!)
