Title: CrossFit Training and Nutrition: Do it The Right Way


1
CrossFit Trainingand NutritionDo it The Right
Way
2
A balanced diet
  • No matter how effective, vigorous, heart-pumping
    your workouts, you cant get too far in CrossFit
    or any other fitness training without a balanced
    diet.
  • Whether you fancy eye-catching chiselled abs or
    wish to get in a harmonious shape, a
    high-intensity CrossFit workout alone can never
    help you reach your fitness goals.
    Calorie-torching training is only part of your
    CorssFit regimen. What Your CorssFit success
    largely depends on instead is your diet.

What to eat and what to avoid
  • So, if you have signed up for professional
    CrossFit training in Sydney and think you are
    soon going to flaunt toned lean muscles and a
    well-sculpted body ignoring your diet, you might
    want to rethink.
  • We consulted CrossFit experts and nutritionists
    to come up with this list of what to eat and what
    to avoid particularly for rookie CrossFitters.

1. Banana
  • A glass of banana and whey protein smoothie can
    help boost recovery and tissue repair post
    workout.

5
2. Nuts Seeds
  • Packed with nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids,
    nuts and seeds are an excellent fuel source for
    your CrossFit workout.

6
3. Coconut Oil
A tablespoon of coconut oil before your workout
can work wonders for your energy and endurance.

4. Eggs
From Vitamin D to healthy fats to Protein, eggs
are a must-have for CrossFitters. You can pair
eggs with other protein-rich foods like pumpkin
seeds, whole grain bread, chick pea, chia seeds
and more to prepare a highly nutritious, energy
booster meals.

5. Sweet Potatoes
An excellent pre-workout treat, yams help balance
blood sugar levels while providing a boost of
energy.

6. Brown Rice
Nutritionally better than white rice, brown rice
can be easily digested and is less likely to
cause bloating and disrupt blood sugar levels.
10
7. Oatmeal
An ideal weight loss-friendly food, oatmeal is
helpful as both pre-workout and post-workout
food. Not only does it provide your body with
carbohydrates without unnecessary sugars but it
also speeds up muscle recovery.

SAY NO TO . . .
12
Pre-workout veggies
Though healthy and high in fibre, veggies like
lettuce, broccoli and cabbage can cause
gastrointestinal discomfort during a workout.
13
High-Sugar Carbohydrates
  • Bread, white rice and potatoes are the worst to
    opt for before a workout as there are high in GI
    and disrupt your insulin levels casuing strong
    sweet cravings.
  • Fruit, whole grains, sweet potatoes, quinoa and
    beets are some healthy carbohydrate sources you
    can go for.

14
Fried Foods
There no point in picking tempting yet nutrient
deficient foods, high in unhealthy saturated and
trans fats that will reduce your energy levels
and leave you lethargic.
15
Processed foods and alcohol
Loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients,
pastries, crackers, potato chips and even granola
bars will only make your workout even more
difficult. Also, alcohols are just empty calories
and offer no nutritional value. So, definitely a
no-no.
16
Given the intensity of CorssFit workouts, a
protein rich energy boosting diet is paramount to
fuelling your body for dynamic training and
restoring energy. So, avoid whats tempting but
treacherous to your body and pick healthy options
that will improve your performance and workout
results.
