Supplement Feature: MCTs

King William District CrossFit • April 16, 2020

Want heightened focus, mental clarity, and “cleaner” energy? MCTs are your answer!

Perfect Keto’s MCT Oil Powder and sfh’s Keto Energy MCTs + Collagen are two supplements we’re stoked to carry at the Box, and here’s why…

  1. Convenience. Both are powders, which is more convenient than liquid MCT because you can simply shake in a shaker bottle and there’s no necessary blending required. The result is creamy and frothy deliciousness, with convenience to boot.

  2. Mental Benefits. Heightened focus, clearer thinking, a “cleaner” burning and steady source of energy (no post-carb highs and lows with the cravings that follow).

  3. Physical Benefits. More REAL energy, not just a perceived sense of energy due to a stimulant (and without the crash afterwards). Keeps cravings at bay and over-eating in check with a feeling of satiety.

  4. Psychological Benefits. Bye-bye “hangry” spells (hunger + anger), hello food freedom.

  5. Disease Prevention. A ketogenic diet is a great way to help prevent chronic disease and live a high quality of life for as long as possible. MCTs aid in a ketogenic diet, or one that limits carbohydrates and encourages intermittent fasting periods (even just overnight) by helping with that tough transition period of entering carbohydrate restriction and sugar elimination by helping to manage the “keto flu” symptoms.

Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder

When to Use: Anytime! Whisk into your coffee or tea in the morning, shake into water or your favorite milk in the middle of the day to avoid a dip in cognitive focus, or have it ready during your commute home if you need some energy before dinner.

Pro Tip: Start with 1/2 a scoop and titrate up to prevent GI discomfort.

How We Use It: In the morning with coffee + a splash of coconut cream (or heavy whipping cream). In the afternoon with a scoop shaken up in 10 ounces of cashew milk. A scoop in water for a pre-workout energy boost

sfh Keto Energy MCTs + Collagen

When to Use: Pre-workout or for a morning or afternoon pick-me-up if you’re not a coffee drinker.

What’s Added: Collagen (benefits hair, skin, nails, joints, and digestive system) + Caffeine (100mg which is the equivalent to 1/2 a cup of coffee for energy).

How We Use It: Water + scoop of protein of choice + scoop Coffee Toffee Keto Energy MCTs + Collagen as a pre-workout.

If you have any questions, ask Dan or Janelle at the Box.

Happy supplementing!

Know You Can Handle It

By King William District CrossFit • September 19, 2022
This is about one of those “Why” questions. Why do I train myself physically? Or also, why should I train myself physically? To look good in my undies? To fight off diabetes? Both are solid answers to the question “Why?”. I have another reason and it is one that applies to everyone. Through our fitness journey there are always some ups and downs. I submit this as food for thought during one of those down times when you need a push to get going again.

An Injury is an Excuse, not a Reason

By King William District CrossFit • December 11, 2021
You may or may not have noticed that my name has not been on the Whiteboard as much for a little while. I’m happy to say that should be changing soon. I put a LOT of time, thought, and energy into the programming of the workouts we do in class, and I love (and hate) doing them. However, the 8:30am class knows this does not mean I haven't been working out! I've just been doing unique variations of the class WOD like all of you have needed to do at times when you have an injury.
