I’m on day 11 of my first round. Overall I feel pretty good except for my cardio based workouts. I’ve been eating Larabars pre workout the last few days to just get some calories in and I know that’s not exactly following the rules. I do CrossFit 4-5 days a week and overall am pretty active. I feel like the protein boost has made my lifts better but my cardio is suffering from lack of carbs. I do eat fruit with meat sticks sometimes also. I would love to know what everyone else eats pre workout to fuel high intensity workouts?

I started Whole 30 yesterday and am a bit confused about chia pudding. is it only compliant for the plant based version?

I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 9 months now. Still feeling pretty new and generally hit 4 classes a week at least. At this point is really like to start focusing on recovery as I’m a female entering my 40s. any tips would be appreciated.

I also ran a lot last year and frankly I have run much at all since starting CrossFit this year. Id like to start getting a couple runs in a week again but not really sure how to structure them with CrossFit to not burn out.

I also am in the process of being diagnosed with Lipedema so recovery is going to be super important. I’m looking to really embark on a lifestyle overhaul so this diagnosis doesn’t keep me from my active lifestyle.

Anyone else dealing with lipedema? I’m curious about your nutrition strategy, recovery, etc.
