Eating well on a budget
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 9:45AM We all know that nutrition is a huge factor in determining your success. At CrossFit Boston we encourage two different nutrition programs. One is the Paleo Diet which focuses more on the quality of your food, and the other is the Zone Diet which focuses on quality as well as quantity. We encourage everyone to start with Paleo and simply make better food choices. After that we get into doing math and figuring out how many Blocks you need on the Zone.
Either way you go, eating healthy is expensive. But the cost is not even comparable to the escessive medical bills you aquire after a lifetime of eating cracker jacks and cheese danishes. So we have to make sacrafices in other areas of our life in order to maintain our health.
W, short for sake of privacy, one of the members of the women's program came to us already about a month into the Zone Diet. First I want to congratulate W for taking on a diet that will make her healthier and a better athlete. W is also a Graduate Student, working toward her MBA (more congratulations). So needless to say money is tight. W has started a blog to share her experiences in grad school, her new fitness adventure and her new diet. She is amazingly good at eating well on a budget.
I myself could use some advice on budget shopping so I thought I'd post her blog here so that you all can check it out as well.
