Getting off the Crack

It was this article, and that picture, that got me committed to the Kool Aid. Nicole, you are a huge inspiration. And, just as you said I would, I got the same results that you described in your article. Thank you for cracking the code for me. CrossFit and The Zone are the Rosetta Stone of fitness and beauty.

Semper CrossFit!!

Spider chick,
Thank YOU!

Hey Nicole, I train with Kat Finnerty at San Francisco's Krav Maga school. I gotta say you're an inspiration! I've checked out several movies from the website and have adopted "Nasty Girls" as my personal work out 1st song to get me going! My arms are getting cut, I'm getting strong and then I started feeling self conscious about being "bigger than the guys," especially since I'm, what, barely 5'? Anyway, after seeing you and how great you look and how strong you are, I take pride in the results of my hard work! Rock ON, girl!

Nicole, you look awesome!!! You are the living brathing definition of beauty. Keep up the good work.

Wow you look great! A pur inspiration to me! I'm new to all this.How do you get started with crosBlockers? Whats that? As I mentioned already all new to this.Can you point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate any directions.Thanks for your time:)

Fantastic abs Nicole. Which exercises do you recommend? How often do you train them and what reps work best for you?

Many thanks

Alex

Who is the author of Zone diet. I love your abs and have been trying to eat right but sometimes it's hard. I would love to have abs like that.

You're awesome. An example for people like us

WOW!

I love your abs too.
And your back squat.

You are great Nicole... Never seen any women with a greater leg strength.

Hi Nicole,

Fitness has always been my passion. I studied Kinesiology at UGA and now physical therapy in graduate school. I'm A.C.E certified as a personal trainer, but you and the others at Crossfit had me curious. I recently adopted the CrossFit training methods and I am now in the best shape of my life. You are an amazing athlete. Thanks!

Alright, I've been fucking around just trying to eat the right things and stay near the Zone long enough. I'm picking up a scale on the way home from work today and giving it a try!

What's Nayonaise? Is that a brand name, typo, or something homemade?

Also, with The Zone's recommended fat servings, obviously the liquid fats, such as olive oil, are measured in terms of level teaspoons, because you can't have a heaped spoonful of liquid. Am I therefore to assume that when using avocado one would also use level spoonfuls?

Never tried The Zone before, but have been reading about it on here and it makes sense. And the testimonials and associated pictures are VERY motivational.

Stuart,
Nayonaise is a brand name for a soy based spread that is similar to mayonnaise. About the avocado, one of the great things about combining the Zone with CrossFit is that you don't need to micromanage your fat that precisely. If you dial in your carbs and protein, the difference between heaping and flat teaspoons on your avocado is irrelevant to your success.

Tony,

we don't have Nayonaise down here in Australia, so thanks for clearing that up, and for clearing up the fat issue. Based on this article and "Meal Plans" (I think that was the one), I was under the impression that extra fat was beneficial, but it's good to get some clarification.

Stuart,
Extra fat is beneficial when you are very lean. If you're not very lean, it's not necessary.
