Im snapping out of my post nationals depression and just started a nutrition challenge with Dan Weiss. I did this before nationals, leaned right out, gained a whole lot of strength, felt great, was sleeping great and had tons of energy but have been real lazy in the last week. Dan gave me the motivation I needed to get back on track.

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)

Hey guys, couple things. My Hotmail account is doing funny things so I’m shutting it down. In the future please email me at: Kellyfrankson@gmail.com

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!

Hey Guys, sorry for the lack of posts, been crazy busy getting my new site: Fit4YouNutrtion.com ready to go live June 1st.

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.
