CF7C PALEO CHALLENGE BEGINS!

GOOD LUCK  ALL YOU CROSSFIT SEVEN CITIES PALEO CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS!

Today begins the challenge, and I hope as you go through and feel the transformation that you get the satisfaction you are looking for.  I have noticed, after my first month of “Paleo Intense” dietary intake, HUGE changes in the way I view nutrition as the necessary FUEL for daily living and advancement. 

Bottom line: THE CLEANER THE FUEL, THE CLEANER AND MORE  EFFICIENT  THE BURN!

I would Love to hear from you guys on how your challenge is going as you progress.  As far as food preparation, I hope my tips earlier on will help in your  ENJOYMENT OF THE FOOD YOU EAT!
