January 14th to February 18th
Come to our member meeting Saturday, January 5th at 1100 class to hear all the rules of the challenge.
The Foundations Challenge is dedicated to teaching participants about the unavoidable truths in nutrition: 1) the quality of food matters for health, and 2) the quantity of food matters for weight. Once you understand how to apply these principles, you will see how “all diets are the same.” You can forever use these principles to assess any new “diet-du-jour.”
The Foundations Challenge combines two timeless tools:
MACROS - Get specific macronutrient numbers (protein, carbohydrate, and fat grams) to eat each day and implement them for 5 weeks. Learn by doing! Be consistent with a specific quantity of food, learn how to tweak the numbers, and build habits on how to apply precision to quantity in the diet. The exact numbers you follow are actually less important than the learning and experience of establishing consistency in the diet. It’s the practice needed for understanding other quantity focused diets like keto, low-carb, low-fat, etc.
#800gChallenge™ - Be consistent with a measurement of quality in the diet. Instead of simply describing that you eat “healthy,” you can measure it! The user can then optimize it for health, performance, or just sustainability through their food choices.
This year are using SugarWOD to distribute nutrition content throughout the challenge in a private track. You’ll get informational blog posts, videos, and tips to stay motivated and engaged throughout the challenge. This also means we’ve got real-time leaderboarding just like for WODs; see where and how you stack up each day!
