Great article. Eat real foods. Many of my patients seem to have this underlying fear that children are different, and due to their growing bodies, they need different or more nutrients. I like to remind them, that real nutrients are found in real foods. Like Jon points out, offering a variety of real foods will ensure that your child gets the nutrients they need. Processed foods offer chemicals, not nutrients. And they displace the hunger for real foods. It’s not that complicated. Kids don’t need crackers and candy. They need meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds....you know the rest.

It would be great if you included captions on your video. While I am not deaf, I belong to a fitness group with over 16k members. I'd love for them to be able to enjoy the video as well. As a suggestion, you could use YouTube to offer the video and turn on the automatic closed captions. While not as accurate, they do a pretty good job. Thank you! OH, and if you do this, please let me know and I'll share it!

Dr Ede is one of the most honestly curious researchers out there. We are so lucky to have her spend time going through these nutrition reports with such thoughtfulness. She is not bombastic or polarizing, which I think makes her powerful in a special way. Her take on the EAT Lancet is the best out there. I greatly appreciate her wisdom. In her piece for Psychology Today (1/19/2019), which details the issues with the EAT Lancet report, she breaks down each claim and the points out inconsistencies, errors or faulty assumptions. This is my favorite:


8. Everyone should eat a vegan diet, except for most people

"Although their diet plan is intended for all “generally healthy individuals aged two years and older,” the authors admit it falls short of providing proper nutrition for growing children, adolescent girls, pregnant women, aging adults, the malnourished, and the impoverished — and that even those not within these special categories will need to take supplements to meet their basic requirements.


Sadder still is the fact that the majority of people in this country and in many other countries around the world are no longer metabolically healthy, and this high-carbohydrate plan doesn’t take them into consideration.


'In controlled feeding studies, high carbohydrate intake increases blood triglyceride concentrations, reduces HDL [aka “good”] cholesterol concentration, and increases blood pressure, especially in people with insulin resistance.” [page 12]


For those of us with insulin resistance (aka “pre-diabetes”) whose insulin levels tend to run too high, the Commission’s high-carbohydrate diet — based on up to 60% of calories from whole grains, in addition to fruits and starchy vegetables — is potentially dangerous. The Commission half-acknowledges this by recommending that even healthy people limit consumption of starchy roots like potatoes and cassava flour due to their high glycemic index, but oddly does not mention grain and legume flours, or high glycemic index fruits, leaving the door open for processed food companies to market products like pasta, cereal and juice beverages to its plant-based planet. High insulin levels strongly increase the risk for numerous chronic diseases and can mean a lifetime of medications, disability, and early death. If the Commission read its own report it would find support for the notion that those of us with metabolic damage may be better off increasing our meat intake and decreasing our carbohydrate intake:


“In a large controlled feeding trial, replacing carbohydrate isocalorically with protein reduced blood pressure and blood lipid concentrations.” [page 8]


This was the 2005 OmniHeart trial, which used 50% plant protein and 50% animal protein. It would seem the only people who should eat a vegan diet are people who make the informed choice to eat a vegan diet, despite the risks.”


That’s just one point. The whole thing is so, so good. Definitely worth the read if you haven’t already.

I've been wondering: my 1k PR is 3:26.5. I warmed up that day building to a moderately heavy single deadlift. Today, we warmed up with SLIPS. In your opinion, does the faster row get an asterisk next to it, as it may have felt a bit lighter because of the deadlifts? Or not because, at least on paper, I moved the 1k meters just a second faster?

I think this is a good topic. I think with these last few rows, the overall goal is to have a better understanding of our pace for these distances. The more 1k's we do or what ever distance the more familiar we are with rowing at those speeds and distances. So, I would not asterisk either row. Although it is a great sprint, I feel like it is more for training/practice purposes than it is for testing. - my opinion

Thanks for sharing. It's great to see how Coach Glassman's goal of the website to be for "anyone who has a brain" take shape.


The bit about going straight to the methods section of nutrition studies to see the actual food that each control group is being fed is a useful tool to better understand studies from the outset.

INTENDED STIMULUS


Forty minutes of SLIPS screams fun and fitness. If by now, you don't have a project to work on your SLIPS time, it is time to find you one --or many. Mastering an L-sit or a V-sit are great ideas. A bent-arm handstand hold is another one. If you continuously hear yourself excusing your mechanics on your lack of mobility, this is the time to attack that. Mobility is like strength and capacity. It is earned not given. No matter what project you chose, you can introduce the essential elements of SLIPS in your practice. You can because SLIPS is elegantly designed to include all of the fundamentals of gymnastics. It is like the dudes that created CrossFit are fucking smart or something. The option below presents you with a thoracic brdige. This is a hold anybody can achieve, and that will significantly improve the mobility of all of the modern human. If you can produce a solid thoracic bridge, overhead squatting is not a problem. If you sit in front of a computer all day, this is for you. Give it a try.

Once you are done, it is time to get back to the rower. We are coming back to the 1000-m. At this point, you should have excellent information about your pacing and your capacity. We have done 1000, 750 and 500 in the past three weeks. With that info, you can design yourself a solid plan race, and you will kill this sprint. It is time to shine! GIVE IT HELL!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Sometimes I wonder how often Coach Glassman (or whoever else designs these workouts) looks at my comments and thinks, "Chris, that is not even close to the intended purpose you dingus!"


PURPOSE

Again with this theme, I see this being put here for us to practice intensity. 5 1000-m repeats will be a difficult workout for anyone. But it takes a really mature/advanced athlete to have the physical and mental capacity to make one run/row attempt worthy of being a stand-alone workout. It opens up a lot of possibilities when you can, though.


NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE

5 rounds, row/run 400 meters, 1:00 plank hold, :30 L-sit


TRAINING SCALE

As is, just pick one of the SLIPS for all 40 minutes


PRACTICE SCALE

As is.


GROUP SCALE

See how everyone's feeling after Elizabeth


WARMUP:
