Finely tuned, a good diet will increase energy, sense of well being and acumen, while simultaneously flensing fat and packing on muscles. When properly composed the right dieet can nudge every important quantifiable marker for health in the right direction.
Diet is critical to optimizing human functin and our clinical experience leads us to believe that Barry Sears' "Zone Diet" closely models optimal nutrition.
CrossFit's best performers are Zone eaters. When our second tier athletes commit to "strict" adherence to the Zone parameters, they generaly become top tier performers quickly. It seems that the Zone diet accelerates and amplifies the effects of the CrossFit regimen.

For an example of a dinner I make quite a bit. Check out Rob Wolf's Good Grub Recipe:
1/2lb ground beef. Brown this in a skillet with loads of olive oil, break it up as much as you can. Add garlic powder and hot pepper powder if desired.
To this add 1lb of chicken sausage…we used the variety with wine and some cheese in it. Cut the sausage into inch thick wedges and throw it in with the beef.
To this add 1 bag of “Chard of Many Colours”. Cover with 1/2 can of marinara and seal in the juices with a tight fitting lid. Allow to cook for ~10min. This was SOOOO DAMN YUMMY!
