Exactly!
I had trouble losing my last 7-10 lbs. Adopted the basic tenets of this eating plan. Dropped the weight. Felt fantastic. And after about 90% of my workouts, I had no to minimal muscle pain. I had the best year of competition in my life.
I basically allow little to no processed food. Enjoy an alcoholic beverage now and then and the ocassional treat. As with all things, you need to find what works for you.
As for CrossFit - love it but the metcon workouts totally killed my 2010 year. When I get back to it (after the broken ankle heals) my goal is to be the last one completing the WOD. And I will wear my HRM to ensure I stay aerobic!
