Hi everyone!

Trying to find anyone that is doing crossfit as part of their routine! is it working? do you like it? have you jumped on the paleo band wagon?

No one at the gym knows I have the band and do not realize I will lose faster than everyone else and thats why I can not join the challenages.

Would love if there was someone out there that can relate or swap stories with!

thanks

I'm not into crossfit as my joints no longer allow it. The wife and I have embraced the paleo diet idea within reason. We try to eat organic meats and veggies and stay away from processed foods as much as possible. We rarely eat refined sugar or flour. We don't follow the paleo life to a fault but we make an effort. Hard to give up Beans and rice. imo

Thanks for sharing.i can't eat rice or any carbs for the most part my band doesn't like it.

I've always been a low carb loser. I was into Atkins for about 25 years and was quite successful with eating low/no carb. But when my knees went south and I could no longer run or play tennis my weight skyrocketed.

My band has no problem with carbs unless it's real doughy french or sourdough bread in big bites. I'm fine with anything if I eat small enough but I just don't have the patience so I try to steer clear of carbs.

I have the same issue with crossfit... Joints can't take the intensity... I've been reading up on it, and some real damage can occur wrt kidneys and Protein excretion if you aren't careful...

My wife and I are big into Paleo, my MMA gym got me interested about 2 years ago. We are currently on our second round of the Whole30. With the band of course I lose weight faster but my wife has had good weight loss with the diet and exercise. I have looked into crossfit gyms but they all seem to be really expensive My coach at the mma gym runs us through some crossfit wod 's occasionally and I think they are some of the hardest workouts I have ever done.
