The 2019 Solidarity Nutrition Challenge is here!
So, What is the Foundations 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!
Nutrition is Foundational
Nutrition is AS IMPORTANT AS WORKING OUT. Re-read that. We get it! In our modern busy lives, we are ALL subject to falling off the proverbial nutrition wagon. We use challenges to provide that same group atmosphere that’s successful for workouts. It’s about getting back on the wagon, challenging yourself, and/or learning something new about your nutrition.
Cost
$50
That’s just $10/week for personalized macros and daily educational content.
Dates
January 14th to February 18th
