Food Challenge

[RiverOtter]

So, the Crossfit gym I go to here in he Nooga issued a Food Challenge. It sounds really easy. What do y'all think?

here are the rest of the details:
Buy-in: $50. Why? Because a) your money on the line makes you more likely to stick with it. b) At the conclusion of Yannuary, we will be hosting a dinner for all participants at 212 Market. Your buy-in will fund the part, and go towards a raffle prize (cash dollars) for all who finish the challenge and attend the party. Other prizes will be available as well (which are sure to rock!).

Drum roll please...
In the month of Yannuary, consume ONLY the following:
Meat (including fish and poultry)
Vegetables
Fruit
Dairy
Nuts

Pretty simple, huh?
Consume only those things for the duration of the challenge. One more thing: only ONE calorie-containing beverage allowed each day, not counting milk and protein shakes. These are allowed anytime. This means you get your choice each day: one glass of wine, one beer, one orange juice, one coconut water, one gatorade, one soda (if you must), one bourbon, etc. ONE. per day. No stacking allowed. (ie, none all week and 7 on Saturday night).

Let's get this thing started! Who's in?

Is 30A Crossfit part of that?

Hey Abby,
We are not a part of this particular challenge but we did something similar in October and will be doing another one in the spring (just in time for bathing suit season). We also included a bonus for getting 8+ hours of sleep a night (it's amazing how many of us don't do that). You can check out some of the amazing results here.

That being said, I'll take on this challenge with River Otter. I can't have him coming in for a vacation workout looking fitter than me. :shock:

Oh yeah...I almost forgot...we are also planning a Paleo potluck at the gym at the end of the month. We do these every couple of months. Bring a dish that complies with the rules that River Otter stated. You might be surprised how well you can eat. Stay tuned to our website for details.

First of all Flattery will get you everwhere. I don't think 30aCF has to worry about me being more fit than they. Couple of studs they are

Did anyone bring the Meatza? I've been dying to try that one.

I will say, much like Crossfit WOD's (workout's of the day) this challenge is harder than it reads. You can eat good but it takes more time and you need to be creative unless you go with the meat and salad approach.

Tonight I plan on trying to make spaghetti out of squash (one of those vegies that I don't really like). In just 3 days I've already lost inches and even though I don't weigh myself I'm sure I'm down there too.

Yep. We provided the meatza. It was a huge hit. Here's Tony's video recipe. We're looking for a SoWal restaurant to put it on their menu. That would be cool.

Now I'm really hungry:up:

Hey RO...if it's Yannuary, does a Klondike bar count as a dairy? please don't ban me....I'll leave quickly.

NOPE! Processed and contains sugar.

The spaghetti squash came out pretty dagum good. I'll do that one again
