Veganism dangerous?
“A fellow yoga teacher of mine just got diagnosed with a life threatening liver disease believed to be caused by his over 20 years of vegan diet. They now have him following a Paleo like diet in hopes of limiting further damage. Just want to affirm your coaching and say great job my friend :)”
I received the above note from a good friend recently and it just so happens have been recently involved in a fun and constructive discussion with a hardcore vegan friend. I am considering adding ‘the vegetarian myth’ to the official Lifesport required reading list.

CrossFit LifeSport 4 Week Paleo Challenge
Challenge begins Monday, January 2, 2012
Please join us for a 4 week challenge that can completely change your life. Past challengers have experienced major weight loss, huge performance increases, increased strength, loss of inches in the waist, increased energy, and an improved sex life. Plus, the top three challengers will receive a CASH prize.*
-Todd Ovall, CrossFit LifeSport Coach
Click Here to Sign up for the Challenge!
How does it work?
Every day, you will be given the opportunity to score points by working out, hitting new PR’s, logging what you eat, eating Paleo, drinking enough water, and getting enough sleep. You will log your points every day on the website and after 4 weeks the top 3 challengers will receive a cash prize.*
How do I score points?
1 point a day for working out at CrossFit LifeSport or taking a rest day learning. If you don’t work out, spend some time learning about fitness, Paleo, CrossFit, etc. to get a point for the day.
(7 possible points per week)
10 points for getting a PR (Personal Record) during your workout. You can only receive 3 PR’s a week, PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT MORE THAN THREE IN A WEEK, this creates much more work for Phil!
(30 possible points per week)
3 points a day for logging what you ate that day. You will log your food by commenting on the blog post for that day and listing all items you ate to receive your points for the day.
(21 possible points per week)
1 point a day for a Gluten Free day. Learn which grains to avoid. These contain gluten and are not safe:
» Wheat. This includes spelt, kamut, triticale, semolina (durum wheat), farina, einkorn, bulgar, couscous, graham, modified wheat starch, wheat starch, wheat germ, wheat bran, whole wheat, cracked wheat, cake flour, matzo flour and matzo meal. Buckwheat is gluten free. Wheat will be clearly labeled on all packaged food regulated by the FDA.
» Rye. This grain is mainly used in bread. Except for rye flavoring, there are few, if any, ingredients made from rye.
» Barley. In addition to the grain, barley is often used to make malt flavoring, which you have to avoid. Although not required to do so by law, many companies clearly label malt flavoring.
* Oats do not contain gluten but are usually cross-contaminated by wheat. Only oats specifically labeled "gluten free" are safe.
(7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for eating protein with each meal. Protein = meat and eggs
(7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for eating a minimum of 3 servings of vegetables for the day. (7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for eating a max of 1 serving of a starch in a day. Potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, etc. are Paleo, starchy foods.
(7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for not eating any sugar or sweetener. Honey is a sweetener, so don’t eat it.
(7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for taking a fish oil supplement or eating 2 servings of fish a day. Robb Wolf has created a fish oil calculator. Go to the site http://whole9life.com/fish-oil/ to see how much fish oil supplement you should take. I recommend a higher end fish oil to reduce burping; some are even labeled “no burps”.
(7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for drinking ½ your body weight in ounces of water. For example, if I weigh 200 pounds, I would need to drink 100 ounces of water in a day to get that point for the day.
(7 possible points per week)
1 point a day for giving yourself the opportunity to sleep 7.5 hours. If you go to bed at 12:00 am and set your alarm for 6:00 am there is no way you could get 7.5 hours of sleep, so you do not get the point for the day. If you go to bed at 11:00 pm and set your alarm for 6:30 am, but wake up on your own at 6:00 am, you gave yourself the opportunity to sleep for 7.5 hours, so you get the point for that day.
(7 possible points per week)
Please be honest when logging your points. Remember that the amount of points you earn will be reflected in your progress at the end of the four weeks. A tie will result in an even split of the prize money.
This will be the best LifeSport Paleo Challenge yet! Looking forward to it!
Good luck, be hardcore for a month, and have fun!
