CrossFit - "The Foundation Is Nutrition"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Combining the CrossFit training methodology with a diet of meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar brings "a jet stream of adaptation," says CrossFit founder Greg Glassman.
In the pyramid Glassman created, nutrition is the foundation, with met-cons, gymnastics, weightlifting and throwing, and sport following.
"Each level builds on the level below it," explains Nicole Carroll, director of certification. "If your nutrition sucks, these things will not be where they could be if it were more solid."
Likewise, Glassman says CrossFit favors Barry Sears' Zone Diet "because it does give me accurate and precise prescription for caloric intake and, more importantly, the exact levels of macronutrient that I can start at."
Likewise, trainers and coaches can make informed decisions on how to tweak an athlete's diet for improved performance, he says.
CrossFit HQ trainer Pat Sherwood says nutrition isn't an either/or aspect of training.
"It's not quality or quantity. It can and it should be both."

That's the rule I needed. "If it has a food label, it's not food". Thank you!
Am absolutely sold on Crossfit's approach to physical movement and nutritional programming for the pure and simple fact they have an army of monsters male and female, young and old as walking evidence of its efficiency. Bodybuilding and Fitness models of course have their hard working poster childs but nothing as overwhelmingly unanimous as Crossfit.
Best advice from this comes from the very end, "if it has a label on it - it isn't food".
Powerful stuff. Too bad not all cross fitters follow this method..
I have to say I don't do cross fit. I don't work out, but I lost 75 pounds eating a diet like the one that crossfit prescribes to it's athletes. This is the food that everyone should be eating, and it doesn't cost more than junk food because you won't be as hungry, and you won't eat as much because you'll actually be nourished.
all guys lecturing about nutrition look in hella good shape.
Having fake bulking muscles does not mean healthy.just saying.
Shit, i just got inspired to start this after eating a gas station burrito.
You too, Marine. Thank you for your continued service. Serve with honor.
this is more of a motivational than an educational vid
Excellent video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you heard about - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (probably on Google)? It is a great one off guide for learning how to hack your flow state minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy at last got cool results with it.
Probably the best nutritional video I've seen on the internet
Have been in love with Crossfit since 2007! Crossfit Oslo, Oslo, Norway
I think the no-sugar rule refers to refined or processed sugars. The natural sugar in fruit is more easily metabolised by the body, and is somewhat mitigated by the fiber in the fruit
Just getting into CrossFit. I can't get enough, CrossFit PointBreak IS AWESOME!
Reading through the comments, I'm SO GLAD that finally some people know the truth and are mentioning high carbs/high fruits instead of that much fat. Anyone who is currently following the advice from this video, please do yourself a favor and look into eating less fat and way more carbs. I eat 15 bananas a day, several potatoes/sweet potatoes, tons of vegetables, chick peas, a few organic eggs, and very little fat. So why do I still have a sixpack even though I'm eating that many bananas?
Rusty Shackleford Because you have an output high enough such that it requires that kind of intake in order to be sustainable?
Rusty Shackleford because you're extremely skinny?
says the guy with the beer belly and a beer on his table - very authentic
The best diet depends on the person. Some like paleo, some are vegan, some follow a bodybuilder type diet. If it works for them, it can work for you. But YOU have to try it, don't let other people decide for you.
+Hestia Exactly! It's like what I tell my cat... if you like twinkies over animal protein then that's what works for you. Don't let nature dictate whether you a carnivore or not... decide for yourself
belacoz lol twinkies? Nice :D
I think there is a lot of common sense in many of these recommendations and I think there are a lot of superb Crossfit athletes, what concerns me is why does Greg look like shit? I'm not being provocative I genuinely seek an answer as I am confused. His skin is blotchy, he has vey little muscle definition, if any and he's clearly fat. Shouldn't someone in his position be the finest example of what he preaches?
Thought the same. 👍
Depends. Ever look at Bill Belicheck? Teaching and acting are definitely different skills and don't always correlate. Greg might be a visionary in athletics and training but have low discipline. Arnold Schwarzenegger was an amazing bodybuilder, but there are guys out there with more knowledge and better equipped to train people on how to do it. It's not always a straight line between the two.
He is running but it is a corporation and major sporting events.
Because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
His job is to coach not to look good. You have been brainwashed by steroid addicted Instagram influencers
The Quinoa I buy has a food label on it. Should I avoid it now?
its also about sprouting and fermenting those nuts, seeds, and grains. doesn't matter how healthy you are eating if your body doesn't digest properly. i've had amazing healing with the GAPS diet. take a moment to google it... its worth your time.
Love that he has a Coors Light next to him!
+Steve Barrett Right.. lol. I'm thinking why should I listen to this guy about nutrition. hahaha
_"What's causing heart disease is not dietary fat intake, but excessive consumption of carbohydrates."_
This is a clearly wrong statement that contradicts an overwhelming consensus of scientific research. Yes, higher sugar intake obviously correlates to cardiovascular disease rates, but this doesn't allow such a radical statement.
I am not aware about a single study that has shown clearly that saturated fat is a better caloric source than moderately glycaemic carbohydrates, but of numerous who contradict to this.
I feel amazing. Meat, veggies, some fruit, some nuts and seeds, little legumes, starches like sweet potatoes, white potatoes won't kill you either. I still have gluten free oats and white rice at times. I just believe the idea is to not eat processed bullshit and reduce sugar and refined carb intake as much as possible. Just makes sense. So I guess I'm paleo but I mess with it a bit to make it less cult like and fit my needs.
actually if you take a lot of carbohydrates you can get high tryglicerides wich can cause heart disease
Your missing the point. Its not talking about saturated fats, its talking about how most Americans eat waaaay too many shitty carbs.
I refused to give up the idea that eating heavy vegetable was the way to go. Kept my training the same and finally agreed to a two week Keto diet with a friend. I kept it for 8 weeks and lost 25.4 lbs and am at 13% body fat now. I eat plenty of dark green leafy vegetables and berries, but I'm a good 60-70% fats every day. I never believed this would work, but my BP improved, my cholesterol dropped, my triglycerides dropped...blood glucose dropped. I was always "healthy", but shit, now I am cut and muscular...and all I did was adopt a similar nutritional regime to this. No products, no pills, no gimmicks....so, I'm not selling anything. Give it 2 weeks and see if this is for you. I miss fruit and yogurt and oatmeal...but, those are special occasion foods now. Not part of my daily, weekly or even monthly nutrition. That's all....
I will continue to do my own research, while also using this very video as one of my guide tools. Thank you very much for this video.
I can respect that. My time in Navy EOD made me a bit of a stickler on functionality. I remember when MCRD San Diego tooled up to accommodate the new crossfit curriculum.
My intention was to point out that most olympic coaches can't perform (or even look like they can perform) as their athletes. The same goes for professional sports. Look at NFL coaches.
Ultimately, what matters is the number of their athletes that can whip the athletes of other trainers. Dog trainers are not dogs.
The way I see this type of paleo eating, is that it's more of a template: you can fix it the way you want to/need to. E.g. if you need more starches, you eat sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. You eat the way you need to in order to function well.
all meat, vegetables and no sugar makes Jack a dull boy
There's a beer on the table while he's talking about nutrition
The bald dude is drinking a Coor's Light during his discussion about nutrition...
Brett Rodriguez Coors light is just water anyways. Gross.
The "bald duke" is the founder and CEO of CrossFit.
but he doesn't train crossfit.
Something about carbs and something something.
Ben Midulla the founder and CEO of CrossFit is a moron who doesn’t believe in science.
Well worth the five minutes! Diet and nutrition are actually pretty simple, and they are a series of choices we make ever day.
I liked before i even watched💪. Anyone else?
Fat loss is primarily about calorie deficit. Let's say that it takes 2500 calories per day to maintain your weight and you take in 2000 per day of carbs. You'll still lose 1lb a week. Now obviously you want a well rounded healthy diet where you consume junk food sparingly in moderation. But complex carbs are NOT the enemy. If you train like an athlete, they provide fuel for your body. Personally, I'm a fan of intermittent fasting.
I get atleast 60% of my caloric intake from Carbs ( complex carbs not junk food). I have about a 3000 Cal diet. Never had any health problems what so ever and am a very fit individual. So I'm going to have to call bs on these " nutritional gurus" some of whom look like they've never exercised in a day of their lives have to say.
Video is completely flawed. Rich Froning admits to not eating that healthy of a lifestyle. 4x crossfit champ....
Yes Rich Froning doesn't live by the Paleo lifestyle etc. But this is a Correlation Fallacy. Rich Froning is an individual who is a genetically superior athlete. He trains more than most any athlete I have ever seen and is in fantastic shape. However being 4 time crossfit champion does not mean that if you replicate his nutrition and workouts that you will attain his results.
Personally I find that a "Near Paleo" eating habit works best for me. I am Native American and so for 1000's of years my people being from the east coast subsisted on fish and other lean meats and local roots, tubers, nuts, seeds and fruit. We did not start using grains until the 16th century. Studies have shown on several occasions that people of minority ethnicity should consume much less carbohydrates than someone of European or Asian descent(spelling?)
I find that when I consume carbs even the high quality low glycemic etc. I feel terrible and I bloat and I am sluggish. When I am eating more fat and less carbs and eating more vegetables and proteins I have energy to spare.
The biggest flaw with the Paleo lifestyle is that it puts pretty much everyone under an umbrella and says "ALL OF YOU EAT THE SAME THINGS" Obviously this is flawed thinking since individuals with different metabolic conditioning and varied ethnicities cannot all eat exactly the same way.
Therefore we each must experiment with our nutrition and see what works for us. I think we can all agree that an eating habit that is low in processed sugar, high in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats in the proper ratio, High in lean proteins, A lot of veggies and some fruit, and some starch is a fairly healthy way to eat. This is a blueprint for the meal plan of a bodybuilder who is leaning out for competition..its no wonder these crossfitters are so ripped. But it isn't sustainable for people who are true endurance athletes like Tri-Athletes, Marathoners etc. These people consume tons of carbs and a lot of them are what would be considered "low quality"...especially when carb loading for a race.
There is also a growing body of research that suggests that heart disease is linked more closely to being overweight than to moderate to high fat consumption.
I have spent a lot of time over the last 12 years training people of various ethnic backgrounds, fitness levels, and experience levels and if there is one thing I have learned it is this; there is almost no one size fits all ideology that will apply to every single person. Some basics like exercise and eating healthy=better health kind of go without saying but other than that things can be customizable to the individual.
So this video isn't entirely flawed from a nutritional standpoint but more from an empirical standpoint. The Paleo tends to believe they have the diet to fit all humans and it simply isn't true.
Papa Georgio It's all dependent on how many calories an athlete is capable of burning during training.
But I would agree that eating small-moderate sized portions of nutrient dense foods would be completely insufficient for super-athletes like Froning.
7pastorb Yeah but your view requires nuance. Papa can't be bothered with all that.
Papa Georgio Rich is a either mutant or demigod :)
Yeah but rich work out 8-9 times at day ajajaj
hey guys I'm planning to begin crossfit but first I need to know the nutritional way before anything, I want to know what kind of meat is good to eat? For example I hear red meat is bad for you? Is this true?
If you train for marathons... You are supposed to have one energy gel every 45 minutes during long runs. Those gels are basically 100 calories (mostly sugar). Is that OK?
considering your running such a great distance... I would assume that the sugar would be burned pretty quickly.
We can trace grain consumption back farther than we can trace raspberry consumption by an order of magnitude. We very well know that many ultra-lean athletes eat starches to fuel their muscles for training and competition. You can show that refined salt sugar mixtures (Gatorade) during competition can actually help with performance. This is empirical science. Fasting can be very healthy, or just being a hungry can help.
I like the philosophy behind Paleo, so don't get me wrong... but there is one thing seriously wrong with it. Different human populations (races) have adapted to dairy to different degrees because of their differing evolutionary background. People of European heritage are mostly very well adapted to dairy, and therefore dairy is usually an excellent source of nutrients for them. Africans and Asians have not adapted to dairy as well, so they would generally be better off to avoid it.
For those interested in this - research the rates of lactose (in)tolerance among various human populations. You'll find a very wide dispersion (from some populations being 90%+ lactose tolerant, to other populations being 90%+ lactose intolerant).
well at least you didnt try to insult me for trying to speak some sense in to you , so if you wanna think that you go ahead mate. You have earned your right by staying patient amidst my rant about you.
What scientific base does Crossfit have in terms of suggesting correct dieting?
Very well said. Thank you for sharing, and to the guy with the Q( No sugar?), DO YOUR HOMEWORK !!!!
Great video. This will really help me in the future.
He's saying to stay away from processed foods but is drinking a diet sprite 2:18 …. Don't get it
Brandon Zavala it's a beer
Well said. Their job is to help others get results. Sure, it'd give them a lot more credibility if they did practice what they preached, but their clients' results matter more.
The only hard thing about training is when ya love it so much; resting is hard and it takes time to see gains or records.
i´m all confussed :S , so , its peanut butter good or bad ?? i take a moderate consumption of it , with natures own 7 grains bread, is that ok? just 2 slices of bread
Amazing!! Everyone should watch this!!
So, you probably think that other grains are fine, especially oats. But, of oats, is this really a problem with pasta, or just with bread or white bread?
I wonder how ignorant people can be when they say that this is garbage, this is wrong with the fitness world, that a calorie is a calorie no matter where it comes from..... If you don`t know what we are suppossed to eat according to evolution, then please don`t make such desinformative comments. (sorry if I committed a writing mistake, english is not my nativa language)
They discus nutrition and in their video you can see processed meat (which is a Group 1 Carcinogenic) in the same category as cigarettes. I'm a bit confused?
sugar free peanut butter is worse than peanut butter (which isnt bad) because they add artificial sugars to make it taste like regular peanut butter. most light/sugar free products are worse than the regular ones
This video should be revisited
I love CrossFit!!! CrossFit DNA, Dyer, Indiana
hi guys im new in this stuff, the problem iam facing is i get hungry what is the substitute snack i can take. or should i avoid eating i not talking about main 3 meals which is breakfast , lunch & dinner
And then there's rich froning
As a raw vegan , should I do crossfit?
Denisse Gonzalez no
I was diagnosed with GP. I am overweight. In 2003 I had a laparoscopic Nissen and ever since I cannot drink carbonated drinks and I can only drink with a straw. When I was a kid I have always had a very hard time being able to eat many different types of foods like many fruits and vegetables. My entire life if I was to eat a salad I would get sick the minute I put it in my mouth let alone if I was to get any of it down? For example, if I have a burger it could only have the bun meat and cheese and no spread of any kind. No mayo etc. If I was to have a tuna fish sandwich it could only be made with butter plane. I have been trying to lose weight but have been having a hard time doing so? I was just put on a medication called Metformin because I was told I was producing too much insulin and that was causing me to gain weight? I hate the food pyramid and even the my plate because they don't address issues like GP and other dietary issues? Because I am legally blind and use a power chair with limited mobility it's hard to read labels and count calories to be healthy and know what will help me lose weight and live healthier? I wish someone could make a video about this issue?
Is dairy ok? I know it has sugar, but it comes from a cow, so how bad could it be?
"If its got a food label on it, its not food" Even he knows that didn't make sense. last time I checked healthy food had labels on them. So plain meat that has a label is not food??? lol
I think we know what he meant
Everyone should CrossFit ;)
So good!
Funny that most of the professional Athletes dont even nearly stick to these rules....
The guy talking with a grey tshirt has a can of diet coke on his desk 😂
😂
It comes down to knowing your body.There is no one ideal for everyone.
As long as its only has peanuts on the label...you can get them without sugar, salt or anything else...sprouts and whole foods has them.
Is that a diet soda next to glass?
quit eating sugar and bread.and drink only water. the end
Tank time food turn into sugar
No offense, if you can sustain that good for you! But I'm sticking with my flexible dieting. Because it works for me.
There's a LOT of empirical data that confirms the fact that dietary fat is actually a higher efficiency endurance macro-nutrient than carbohydrates...especially simple 'fast-absorbing' carbs, like bread/pasta/rice/etc.
Have you started Crossfit yet? You should, if you haven't! It's great. Agreed, everyone has different body types and needs. People shouldn't be afraid of carbs, as long as they're the "good carbs" (i.e. - sweet potatos, veggies, etc). Same with fat (nuts). It's when they start to shovel shit into their mouths that's the issue (whole pizzas, cakes, vending machine crap).
What if I have a Bodybuilding type of diet to gain muscle mass and do CrossFit then what will be the result?
how do you calculate how much you need specific to the individual ?
Sesbb30... There is 2 kinds of carbs.. Simple and complex. Good natural sugars are found in fruits and sweet potatoes which is the main source of healthy carbs. That should be it. Complex carbs are what you get when you look on the back of a skittles PAC and see 53 carbs... There's a huge difference in sugars.
My problem with this diet is the huge amount of meat (as a European, it's way way too much...!) and too little fruits. They are right to suggest no added sugar, no processed stuff and more veggies...but beyond that it's just not for me. Also, the right kind of bread (whole grain with no added crap, baked in a bakery) is very healthy.
Greg Glassman, beer belly and no muscle, at 2:22 lmfao at the processed meat, the auther of the zone diet again zero muscle, out of shape
You don't know that's processed meat. It could very likely be shaved at the butcher counter fresh every couple days.
Modern days, we should only trace back "grain" consumption to the high yielding hybrid dwarf wheat that was created in the 50s. The wheat consumed prior to the 50s has a different nutritional makeup.
have you tried it? Dropped points on my BP and cholesterol after a year actually...
What about post workout high glycemic carbohydrates?
What about doing the Zone with Paleo food?
no sugar? ok so what about replenishing the burned out glycogen after an intense workout..?
First, fruit has sugar, so clearly sugar is allowed; not the refined sugar, but you knew that. You're just being difficult. Something else you probably already know, is that no matter what you eat, it will be broken down into glucose (basic sugar unit) and stored as glycogen, replenishing your burned out glycogen.
I don't think meat breaks down into glucose.
Haters gonna hate..."We're changing the world. We're doing all the right things for all the RIGHT PEOPLE for all the right reasons. And it's a load of fun.” Greg Glassman
I totally believe in this.
the chicken breasts i eat have a food nutrition label on the packaging saying whats in it does this mean its not food?
I just don't eat stupid :p Not eating McD's and not drinking soda goes a lot longer for health than some people think. Idk I'm training 6 hours a day (Fighter/ getting ready to leave for Navy) and I basically just make sure to eat so that I don't over exert myself. I can picture this diet for someone who only works out once a day for less than an hour and is expecting weight loss results.
Good carbs = energy, more energy = better workouts. Any good athlete would say so. Fuck paleo, eat to fuel the body.
Good point....also, thanks for serving!
Thank you!
What's up with the diet coke can in the background of Greg?
why would having a paleo diet make you perform better at crossfit compared to other diets? i don't understand
Saturated fat raises low density lipoproteins, thus increases risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Carbohydrates (CHO) are our primary fuel. Glucose is stored in the liver for our brains and in glycogen for our muscles. Complex CHO does not raise blood cholesterol. It is important to avoid refined CHO. We need whole grains. Most people consume 3X the recommended amount of protein per day. Excess protein is converted to carbon skeletons, which are then stored as fat.
I can't tell if your comment was intended to rile up people like me, but if so, you win. So here goes: Your first statement has little to no scientific support. Dietary fats leading to increases in LDL concentration hasn't been shown in the literature--it's an old theory and it's on its way out. CHO, much like protein, when over - consumed is also stored as fat. Many people over consume protein, but this is far less detrimental than the overconsumption of carbohydrate in our culture.
Shiva Michael Best This is not an "old theory." I have a master's and bachelor's in nutrition. Read the Dietary Guidelines for Healthy Americans.
Shiva Michael Best Can you please tell me the method of sole carbohydrate over consumption turning into adipose tissue? I suggest you go and read " Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes ".
Victor J Sloan You are right it is not "old theory," it is very old theory. On your own advice check the 2015 Dietary Guidelines on cholesterol and ANDs proposed changes on dietary fat.
hence his "if it has a food label on it, think twice" comment. Unless you're buying some kinda of pre-marinated meat (think Teryaki whatever...), buying meat, vegetables, fruit, and nuts/seeds will not yield you abnormally high sugar content. The "It's not what I'm eating that's making me fat" mentality is just a sad reality that's pervaded out culture. It's a mindset very similar to the "I have nothing to wear" concept (while standing in front of a closet full of clothes). Change your MINDSET.
I'm a dancer...who workouts out intensely on top of what i do as a career...so thats why i consume so many calories...but they're very clean nutritional calories :)
LOTS OF FRUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sure is a type of sugar, but fruit contains lots of vitamins that are necessary to maintain a healthy body.
started crossfit on november 1st 2012 havent miss any W.O.D Started Daiet had to stop because food is too expensive in my country...
Whole food starches are extremely healthy. Sweet potato for example... one of the most nutritious foods available.
I need 3500 calories per day to gain weight. I'll just get all these carbs I need from broccoli and spinach.
Oh, wait.
IS THAT A DIET COKE? LOL!
Iifym > anything said in this video. All my fresh meat has a nutrition label. Oh noes!
well how come the example is eating lunch meat? it has a label!?
Now I want some Ben and Jerry's!
iifym is broscience too, (yeh it can work if you already very fit and healthy , but were just fat cause you used to overeat and now suddenly stopped doing that, in other words any calorie restricted diet will make you loose weight when you young and healthy). But at least this backed up by the government they telling us to eat like this too now ( maybe not exactly but similar, i think government still thinks we should eat more carbs than protein, theres nothing wrong with that imo)
google orange juice vs soda. in 8 oz of both 22 grams of sugar in orange juice, 25 grams of sugar in coke. for fruits you should eat also google low glycemic fruits.
