Paleo Challenge: GSOE Wk 2

Saw this earlier in the week and decided to save it to share today. Just keep things simple. Don't focus on what you can't eat - making the decision to focus on picking foods that are better for you than others is key.

A few notes:

Please plan to get your body fat measured either Monday night (sometime between 500p - 615p) or Tuesday night.

Please check/confirm your FGB scores on the message board if you are participating in the challenge

A few FAQs:

Can I use my cheat meal in drinks?

No. That is why there are separate stipulations for what you eat and what you drink. Have a lot of alcohol/soda/etc and it will ruin all the good work you are doing with eating cleaner. Have a lot of water, and it will only make your results at the end of the challenge that much better.  Do not underestimate the importance of drinking well - there is no substitute for water!

Can I use heavy cream in my coffee/condiments on my meals?

Yes - just make sure you're not drinking a cup of heavy cream with a splash of coffee.

Can I use condiments/sauces on my meals?

Yes - just make sure you're not eating ketchup with a side of sweet potato fries. (Do you see a pattern here yet?) And make sure you check the ingredient label. You should choose something with a short list of ingredients. You should choose something without sugar or any of it's chemically manufactured derivatives. In some instances, this may be extremely difficult.

Can I eat out considering most restaurants don't have organic/grass fed options?

Yes - just be mindful that the less complicated the food, the better chance it will have less stuff that is bad for you. Ask the wait staff how the food is prepared - they should know. Make good, moderate choices overall and your body should be able to handle the unavoidable/unintentional "cheat". (Which for the purposes of this challenge, will not be considered a cheat - just make a conscious effort to keep it moderate.)

Can I switch between Rx and scaled depending on the day?

No. (I should have made this more clear from day one.) Going forward, you are either Rx or scaled for the sake of point calculation.

This is too hard - can I scale it back some more?

No. It's called a challenge for a reason - it's challenging. Stop indicating your desire to drink more, eat more dessert, blah, blah, blah and just Man/Lady Up and eat clean.

Keep up the great work CFV and stay the course!
