Paleo Challenge

So, is everybody feeling like they need to jump start their nutrition for 2010?  Indulge in the holidays a little more than expected?  I know I did.  Enter the Paleo Challenge.

Here are the rules:

Keep a detailed food log.  What you ate, how much, and what time.

Eat Paleo foods.  Meat and veggies, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, NO SUGAR.

Get your before picture taken at the gym before Jan. 8th.

Participants will put $10 in the pot, winner takes all.  The winner will be chosen by two criteria: food intake quality, and body composition change.  Notice I didn’t say weight loss.  This isn’t the Biggest Loser.  If your body needs to lose weight you will; however, this is a poor indicator of fitness.  Body composition shifts (decreased fat and increased lean body mass) are much better for this.

Check out these pictures of JR.  I had a little over a month with him on his Paleo Challenge and the changes were awesome!

So what do you have to lose?  The worst thing that can happen is you lean out, improve your performance, and look and feel better.  The challenge starts Monday Jan. 4th and ends Feb. 1st.  Get after it!
