Are we Nuts? – Paleo and CrossFit

No, I’m not questioning the movement… 🙂   I did recently start to wonder though about eating nuts especially roasted almonds during high intensity training. In the open WODs 12.1 and 12.2 I almost had to quit due to abdominal cramps and after some (painful) experiments I narrowed the problem down to almonds (my favorites) and learned more than I needed to know about phytic acid… Digging around Paleo gurudom I found many cautions about eating too much of them from Cordain, Sisson and other articles. So until I sort this out – I guess, no more almonds for me…

Today’s WOD was to prep for the inevitable 12.4 treatment at moderate pace to get in the mood…
