Nutrition Challenge

Registration DeadLine! MARCH 3rd

No matter how much you work out, if you don’t dial in your nutrition, you won’t see the full benefits from the hard work you’re putting in. Many CrossFit gyms have held Paleo and Zone Challenges to help their members change their nutrition habits, and we’re going to hold our first Challenge beginning on March 6th.

We’re going to keep it simple, and encourage everyone to take part. Here are the basic details:
Starting out:
  • Tell me(Max)  you’re in, and contribute $30 Cash to the Prize pot, which will go back out as prizes to the top participants; you can ante-up at CrossFit or the kickoff meeting!
  • Attend the kickoff meeting on Saturday, March 6th  at 10:15am (right after the morning class); if you can’t make that time, contact me at maxfernandez@me.com
  • Get your “Pre-Challenge” pictures taken (front, side & back view. Men will wear shorts, women will wear shorts and sports bra/bikini top). We will take photos at the kickoff meeting.
  • Max will photograph males and Lucy will be kind enough to photograph females.
  • Submit “Pre-Challenge” basic stats including:
  • Weight
  • Measurements (abdomen, waist, neckline and wrist)
  • Body fat % (measured on the scale or  by calculation). Here’s one of many online calculators
NOTE!!! The pictures taken are PRIVATE, as are the basic stats. Those of the top 3 men and top 3 women will be viewed on paper at the gym to determine the winners.
What you have to do:
  • Start and maintain a food log on Beyond the Whiteboard (It is now more simple than when we had the Helen Challenge); in order to win, the log MUST be submitted each week.
  • Stick to Paleo or Zone nutrition for 30 days
  • Post questions, ideas, concerns, recipes etc to the Nutrition Challenge blog
  • Submit Post-Challenge basic stats and come in for “Post-Challenge” pictures within 2 days of the end of the Challenge

What we’ll do for you:
  • Provide lots of information about Paleo or Zone nutrition, answer questions
  • Choose the top 3 men and top 3 women whose body composition changed the most
Who decides the Winners?
Paul, Caleb and I vote to determine the Winners (1 male, 1 female)

What’s in it for you?
  • Support, encouragement and motivation to take your fitness to a new level by improving the fuel your body runs on
  • A shot at winning the BIG PRIZE: To be announced but it will be great!

About the Photos:
All participants will take their photos in the CFSC restroom area. We have the same lighting for both the first and last shot. All participants will come in one at a time. There will be no spectators. You will change in the restroom.
