Why do this?

DO WORK! It's a saying used to motivate people, particularly at the gym, or in my case, at CrossFit.



DO EAT! In my experience, when people work out they are afraid to eat. In reality, it's not the case. It's more that they don't know what to eat. It's ok to eat. In fact, when you're working out, you HAVE to eat!



Over two years ago, I got fed up with how I looked and felt so I decided to embark on a "lifestyle change" (I refuse to say diet). That included exercise and eating right. Over the years, I have learned a lot about nutrition, what to eat and what not to eat. By no means do I claim to be a nutritional expert. I'm just some schmo that's learned from reading and speaking with people that are smarter than me.



That being said, I've developed various recipes using natural and organic ingredients that were not only lower in calories and tasted great, but are also good for you!



CrossFit is supposed to be hard, eating right shouldn't be! So work hard and DO EAT!!

Cauliflower Leek Soup - 100 Calories

I love cauliflower soup! My grandma and dad make great soup but use flower and cream. This is completely paleo friendly, tastes great, and has my own twist on it!



1 Head of cauliflower
1 Leek
2 Cups of organic vegetable broth
1 Cup unsweetened, silk coconut milk
1 Tablespoon of ghee
1 Teaspoon of salt
1/2 Teaspoon of pepper
1/2 Teaspoon of curry powder

Microwave the cauliflower until soft. Pull all the florets off and place in a pot. In a separate nonstick pan, add the ghee and the leek. Sauté until soft and add to the cauliflower. Mash with a potato masher and add the vegetable broth and coconut milk. With an electric mixer, mix until you get to the consistency you want. I like mine alittle chunky. You can also use an immersion blender to make the soup creamier. Add the spices, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
