Candice’s Story

My health journey started more than 15 years ago, when I began following a vegetarian diet for moral and dietary reasons. I followed a strict vegetarian diet for nearly a decade, when my health issues were to the point that I could no longer ignore them and knew I had to make a lifestyle change. All throughout college, I struggled with stomach problems, joint pain, skin issues, and all kinds of inflammation.
In the years following graduation, I started training for a 325-mile bike ride, the American Cancer Society’s Pan Ohio Hope Ride, along with my dad. The intense workout regime sent me into what I now know was adrenal fatigue, which led to constant fatigue, muscle aches, soreness, and really slow recovery times after every workout no matter how intense. At the age of 22, I knew this wasn’t normal! I set out to make a change and stumbled across paleo, which I began to follow in 2012, after transitioning from a vegetarian diet. It was a huge adjustment and did not happen overnight, but eventually I had a balanced diet of protein, carbs, and fats, after years of yo-yo dieting with low-fat, low-protein, and high-carb diets (all the while thinking it was “healthy”).
I noticed a drastic change in my fitness performance and was able to complete the 325-mile ride without any problems (other than the normal amount of soreness one experiences after sitting on a bike for four days straight)! I was hooked on paleo and wanted to tell the whole world! While I have modified my diet over the years and continue to make adjustments based on physical activity, fitness routines, stress levels, and more, I have stuck with a gluten-free, soy-free, refined-sugar free diet and have seen massive progress with overcoming stomach issues, skin problems, and the pesky joint aches I used to experience. I see this as a constantly evolving journey and know that I am nowhere near done, but look forward to seeing how food and fitness continue to play a role in my health now and in the future.
Fast forward to today and I’m a student with the Nutrition Therapy Association (graduating November 2016 as a Nutrition Therapy Consultant) and Certified Spinning Instructor. My background in food and fitness, in addition to my own experience with endurance cycling and running while following a low carb meal plan, led me to team up with Katie to write this book so we could share our knowledge with you. Having healthy, fulfilling pre and post workout meals and snacks readily available has been a game changer for keeping up with my fitness routine, and I know this book will help inspire you in the kitchen too!
Katie’s Story
My health and fitness journeys have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride over the last couple of years. I never really thought much about what healthy eating was, if I was eating enough, or what healthy eating really meant outside of what I learned in health class. I grew up learning about the food pyramid, as I’m sure many of you did as well. I knew I should be eating my vegetables and fruits, some sort of protein, carbohydrates (especially before sporting events, who else had team spaghetti dinners?!) and a small amount of the sweet stuff. However, I don’t think I ever really fully grasped this concept. I loved chocolate, most veggies were fine, I could eat endless amounts of fruit and protein was usually an afterthought. While I loved steak and ribs, I don’t remember chicken ever being high up on my list. What I do remember is always feeling like I was overweight. Even though I played endless amounts of soccer and ran track in the soccer “off season”, I could never shake the feeling of feeling like I was too big and needed to lose weight. I never really knew how to change this though.
Around my junior/senior year of high school, I decided to take up vegetarianism. This was partially because I didn’t care for meat to begin with, partially for ethical reasons and partially because Candice was doing it too. I’ll never forget when I told my friends, it was New Year’s Eve, and we were at my friend’s aunt’s annual party. They were in disbelief and then quickly reminded me that if I was going to be vegetarian, I probably shouldn’t be eating the chicken wings I had just scarfed down. Cue me being in hysterics and declaring that I was still going to eat chicken and no red meat.
This carried on through college and few months post college until I started CrossFit in August 2012. I like to say that this was when my life completely changed. CrossFit took me down the rabbit hole and I entered a world that I never knew existed. After only a few weeks in, I was introduced to Paleo. I did a little research, bought a book and started my paleo journey. Overall, I cut out starchy grains, started eating meat again, added more veggies, ate almonds/almond butter like it was going out of style and limited alcohol significantly. However I would still partake in cheat meals/days on the weekend. Overall though, my body finally started to change and I fell more and more in love with my new sport. I followed some form of paleo/zone for the next 2.5 years. I stopped stepping on the scale and went by how I felt and how I was performing. As most everyone does, I would go through phases of how strictly I followed paleo/zone. Overall I steered clear of all the processed crap, I read labels more often and tried to have a better understanding of how foods truly affected me.
Following the CrossFit Open in 2014, I decided I wanted to train more and become more competitive. While my training increased and I worked harder, the nutrition side of things stayed the same until about October of 2014. It was around this time that I found the world of counting macronutrients. I found a coach and started dialing in my nutrition even more. I had my best finish in the CrossFit Open in 2015 and since switching to focus on Olympic lifting, I’ve grown even stronger. While I generally still stick to paleo, I do indulge in a lot more gluten free foods, i.e. oats, granola, as well as sweet potatoes and sometimes even white rice (gasp!). However my health and fitness journey is far from over. While my fitness continues to improve, my body doesn’t always feel great. Chalk it up to getting older, the compounded effects of training, or too many gluten free treats. Regardless, I know I’m not operating at 100% right now but that’s okay, I’m working on it. Health and fitness is a journey and a roller coaster ride I’m still sitting on. What makes it easier is having the resources available to help me along the way which is what inspired Candice and I to bring you this ebook. We want to help you succeed in your health and fitness journey and having the proper pre and post workout snacks is the perfect start. We know you’ll enjoy these as much as we enjoyed creating them!
