Interesting article about drugs and sports here: http://www.gladwell.com/2001/2001_08_10_a_drug.htm

Any thoughts?

But the wrist is healing faster than expected (just still convincing the muscles by the elbow that they are not in danger and can release the protective shut down mode)

the site launch went better than I could have dreamed (40 members registered for the forum, 5 nutrition consults done and 2 people purchased gold packages, 1 silver package…all in 10days!)

I’m currently working on the recipee section of fit4younutrition.com. Any suggestions?

Would love to hear how you are finding the 14 days of meat and greens and if you’ve come accross any good recipees worth sharing along the way.

Lunch #1-125grams turkey breast, minni cucumber, handful raw cashews

Lunch #2-3 egg omlette with ham and spinach and a green salad.

Snack- 1tbs almond butter

Dinner- Big Bson burger wrapped in lettuce with avacado and pickles on the side.

And then I got the call from my mom…she’s been remitted to the hospital with fluid in her lungs, hemridging over her gullbladder and a whole lot of fluid retention everywhere. Don’t know whats causing it, but they are holding her on the cancer unit while they run tests (she fought cancer that was caught pretty late a few years back and wasnt given much of a chance but has been free and clear for a few years now). SHould no more over the next couple days.

So between the arm and the call from my mom, I almost caved in and bought chocolate covered almonds, but I decided to go for unroasted cashews and cucumbers instead! Thanks for everyone who is following along. Makes it so much easier to ignore the impulses when you know that others are in the same boat as you.

But heres what I ate today:
7:30-125grams roast beef, 1 hardboiled egg, minni cucumber, handful of walnuts
11am-seaweed salad 125grams turkeybreast
1pm-50grams corned beef, minni cucumber
3pm-50grams corned beef, minni cucumber, handful cashews
4pm-1 tbs almond butter
7pm-2 “Diet Rolls” (seaweed, salmon sashimi, real crab, tobiko, avacado & dried lettuce)

If you want something crunchy, you can get those mini cucumbers and wrap slices of turkey breast around them. Again you can do this the night before and just grab and go in the morning.

Hard Boiled eggs-boil them the evening before and just grab one as you go out the door.

If you have time in the morning, you could cook up an omelet, or make a “dinner”. Zucchini Pasta and ground bison actually makes a great breakfast and don’t forget about the left overs!

Especially if you are eating pure protein for breakfast, morning tends to be an ideal time to fit in a “Green Drink” to help alkanize the body right off the bat.

Any other questions, let me know. I will be posting what I eat each day to give some ideas.

This is my plan for today:
5:00am Wake up- 1tbs glutamine
5:30-11am Coach-7:30 125grams of roast beef with handful of pumpkin seeds & 1 tbs fish oil
11am-Seaweed salad with 150g of Squid+Multi, handful walnuts
12-2pm-meeting, 1 tbs glutamine
2:30pm-steamed swiss chard, 3oz chicken breast cooked in coconut oil with sliced avacado on top + 1tbs fish oil + multi
4:30pm-2 poached eggs on steamed spinach
5:30-7:30 O-lifting, 1 tbs glutamine
7:30-100g turkey breast wrapped around 2 minni cucumbers
8-9pm coach
250ml 1 tbs glutamine +ZMA

Also a clarification on the rules, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Garlic and Ginger are all OK as is Coffee and Tea, where as processed salad dressing and Alchohol are not.

Incase anyone else wants to play along, these are the rules:

For the next 14 days you can eat anything that swims, runs in a field, flies or is green but nothing else. Beef, pork, chicken (including eggs), fish, turkey are all fair game. How much will depend on your goals. If you are looking at maintaining muscle mass and slimming down, then aim for around 1 gram per lb of body weight. If you are looking at increasing your lean muscle mass aim for 1.5grams per pound of body weight (100g of animal meat has apporximately 20g of protien), and try eating read meat first thing in the morning (the androgens in red meat wake up the receptors in your brain to start the metabolism and muscle growth process).

Now there are a couple important things here.

(1) Eat plenty of greens to help your body absorb the protein and balance out your acid base levels. If you cant get enough greens in you, green drinks are OK too. There is no limit to the amount of green veggies you can eat. Eat as many as your heart desires!
(2) Animal meat comes with fat, thats the way its meant to be eaten. No buying extra lean ground beef or egg whites!
(3) Inorder to to slave off sugar cravings and ensure your brain has the necessary nutrients to function and muscles to recover supplement with glutamine (.2-.4grams per lb of bodyweight in divided doses throughout the day).
(4) Cooking with oils (olive oil, coconut oil) are fare game as are having nuts (1-3 handfuls a day) and nut butters (1-3tbs/day.
(5) and as always, make sure you taking your fishoil every day (5-20grams depending on your goals).

Notice no processed foods, Milk, Cheese, Soy, grains or fruit are allowed. Rules are simple. Stick to them!

I’ll be posting what I eat everyday to kellyfrankson.com. Dan is going to play along. Anyone else game?

(NOTE: this is will not work for everyone, stay tunned for more information on how to develop a personalized program for your unique needs when Fit4YouNutrition.com launches June 1st)

June 1st is going to be the launch of Fit4younutrition.com. The site is intended to provide an overview of relevant nutrition research enabling you to determine your current stressors and the nutritional approach best suited for you. It will look at the basic Macro Nutrient components as well as the importance of insulin control and mitigation of food allergies and other imbalances that run havoc throughout your body which in addition to adequate sleep and exercise will be the underpinning factors of success. Once you have a solid baseline, you can then look at tweaking the finer points of your diet to ensure that your specific goals are met. For help tailoring a nutritional approach to meet your needs you will be able to book a personal nutritional consulting session through the services link.

June 2nd we are going to be starting a Tuesday/Thursday on-ramp class from 8-9am and June 8th is going to be the start of the next Monday/Wednesday/Friday 6:30-7:30am on ramp. The basic idea of the onramps is to cover off the crossfit Vancouver personal training curriculum over 12 sessions in a supportive group environment at cost of $420 (for the 12 sessions). If you know anybody who is interested let me know ASAP.

And lastly, people have been asking about dates for the next nutrition and o-lifting seminars. None have been set yet, but if you can get three people together, suggest a day and time and I will hold one. Each clinic is 2hrs and costs $50/person.

Any questions let me know!

Stay Tunned for more info on it, but once its live, all nutrition related info will be posted on that site and KellyFrankson.com will become a regular blog again.

(1) The date of the next nutrition seminar has been changed. It will be at Crossfit Vancouver’s NEW facilities Saturday March 21st from 12:30-2:30pm. At the seminar we will be looking at:
• Do’s and Don’ts and the REASONS WHY
• Protein-the building block, warning about Dairy
• Fat-Why we need it, facts about cholesterol
• Carbs-the low down on grains
• Importance of stabilizing insulin levels
• Danger of artificial sweeteners
• Tweaking the zone for mass gain and fat loss
• Intermittent fasting.
The cost of the nutrition seminar will be $25 for CrossFit Vancouver members and $40 for non members.

(2) Then on March 23rd we will be starting the next batch of Crossfit Vancouver Morning On Ramp Classes. Typically at Crossfit Vancouver you need to take 15 personal training sessions (at a cost of 72.50/session) before you are able to join the group classes. The onramp class is a way for you to complete the pre-requisite personal training in a supportive group environment at a fraction of the cost. The class will run for 4 weeks Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 6:30am-7:30am at a cost of $441 (including tax). Let me know ASAP if you are interested.

About Crossfit: the basis of crossfit revolves around doing more work in less time by doing full body functional movements at a high intensity level with constant variance -benefits to be expected include development of stabilization muscles and increased hip and shoulder mobility, improved coordination and power transfer leading to greater speed, agility and explosiveness, as well as the development of strength and stamina. -check out crossfit.ca & crossfit.com for more details

(3) The next O-lifting clinic will be held April 4th from 12:30-3:30. The cost for the o-lifting seminar will be $50 for Crossfit Vancouver members and $75 for non members. We will be breaking down the clean and jerk into its individual components working on developing the coordination and power transfer you need to do the lifts effectively.

If you have any questions or are interested in any of the above, shoot me an email or give me a call.
