Way

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.

  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.

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.

energy.

can be easily digested and is less likely to
cause bloating and disrupt blood sugar levels.

helpful as both pre-workout and post-workout

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.
