Jason (who is a SEAL):
From my perspective, you will be the ultimate authority on your training, or whom you select to structure your training. Read, think, decide, learn, improve. Robb's advice, or CF Football, or CF will beat almost anything out there unless you desire to be ONLY a specialist and accept the inherent trade offs in specialization. As the old saying goes, "any strength to excess becomes weakness."
I recommend Robb's book and his podcast, as both provide a level of depth and accuracy that is accessible, substantial, and defendable based on the admittedly immature science of diet and health.
1-Started doing CF and saw dramatic improvements in his work related performance. Not too surprising, swapping out flutter kicks and high volume running for OL-complexes and more variety. Makes complete sense. And there is data to support this.
2-Jason changed his food along Zone parameters, eventually getting to 3-4x fat and saw vast improvements in his body composition and performance.
3-Jason then dropped his carb intake (shifting to fruit and veggies only), ate the bulk of his carbs post work out, upped his protein and fat…started doing intermittent fasting…and crushed all his previous benchmarks.
I have almost 1300 testimonial virtually identical to the above from people in every conceivable profession and walk of life. http://robbwolf.com/2009/12/26/if-it-works-for-a-seal/, commenting on this post:

This is a very easy to digest post from Robb, and I think is a rational statement of his (rather small) disagreements with CrossFit (ignoring the personal side of things, about which I know too little to comment). He may be right, he may be wrong, but this is rational, in particular based on his experience and background. Hmm, a guy with a powerlifting background wants a more structured approach - weird huh? Not really, but not necessarily right, either. http://www.paleonu.com/panu-weblog/2009/12/25/panu-eating-and-high-intensity-training.html
