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!

Paleo Challenge: Garden State Open Edition

A big thank you to Allison Smith for kicking off the challenge with an awesome talk on Wednesday! If you would like a more in-depth assessment or a personal outline of what to eat, she will offer all CFV Paleo Challenge participants special rates on her services. You can contact her directly at:

asmith87@vt.edu

CFV 6-week Paleo Challenge Overview:

- This will be run on the honor system. CFV is all about the truth. If you lie, not only are you hurting yourself, but you will also negatively impact your fellow members. Also, when you lie, your breath smells. Don't let halitosis happen to you.

- Starts Monday Sept 24 at 12:01a. Ends Saturday Nov 3 right after the Garden State Open

- There will be two divisions: Rx and Scaled.

- Both Rx and Scaled: Organic is recommended but not required. Do the best given your budget.

- Both benchmark wod and body fat measurements to be completed during week one

Guidelines:

Must post to this website EVERYDAY (starting Tuesday under Monday's wod, etc.) one of three things (with respect to what you ate that day given your division): Strict Adherence (meals and snacks/treats), Adherence with Allowances (meals and snacks/treats), Cheat Meal(s). You cannot treat a bad afternoon / entire weekend as one cheat meal (examples given below).

Rx: No Grains, No Legumes, No Added Sugar. No Dairy. No Excuses.

Allowances: You can have - but are not obligated to have - the following:

Two (2) Paleo alcoholic drinks per week (e.g. - a glass of organic red wine, tequila, masculine hard cider) and no stockpiling drinks. Make them count.

Two (2) Paleo treats per week (e.g. - one (1) serving of baked Paleo goods, full fat cultured yogurt, 85% chocolate, etc). Please be reasonable with your serving size and note that one (1) serving is rarely a dozen of anything.

One (1) 'off the reservation' cheat meal over the course of the challenge.


Scaled: No Grains, No Legumes, No Added Sugar, Some Dairy (full fat cultured yogurt, 85% chocolate) in moderation. Some Paleo treats in moderation.


Allowances:  You can have - but are not obligated to have - the following:

Five (5) alcoholic drinks per week and no stockpiling drinks.

Five (5) 'off the reservation' cheat meals over the course of the challenge. (You cannot treat a bad afternoon / entire weekend as one cheat meal.)


Prizes:

One Rx winner will receive two (2) months of membership and one scaled winner will receive one (1) month of membership that will be decided upon by:

Compliance with the guidelines of the challenge.

Body fat loss (percentage relative to initial numbers).

Improvement in benchmark wod (Fight Gone Bad).


Please keep in mind the following:

This is all about eating healthier. Make good choices to minimize your sugar intake (this includes fruits). Don't skip meals. Drink plenty of water. Keep that in mind when making all your food decisions and you should come out on top.

If you're eating Paleo but also having 3 paleo brownies after dinner each day, don't expect to see the results you are hoping for. A Paleo brownie is still a brownie.

Eating Paleo can be tailored for you to lose weight or gain it - but don't obsess over that number on the scale. Stress (i.e. obsessing over a number) will prevent you from achieving your goals. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY.

Google is very helpful but a few websites to start everyone off can be found HERE

Start posting today - just to familiarize yourself with the process.

Here is a good video summarizing the why of Paleo:

Best to all!

'The Faux 50'

4 Rounds

400m Carry w/ objects

50 Burpees (team)

Team of 2: 45# Barbell, 45# Plate, either: 20" Box or Squat Stand

Team of 3: Team of 2 items + 20# Medball

Team of 4: Team of 3 items + 14# Medball

Team of 5: Team of 4 items + 20kg kettlebell

Burpees can only be done while one teammate is in an active hanging L-sit hold. Only one person can do 1 burpee at a time and the next person has to wait for the clap to start their burpee.

No stacking ( i.e. can't put the plate on the box, can't put the plate on the bar, can't put the med ball in the box, etc.) 

The barbell must be carried by males either OverHead or in the Front Rack and it can be carried on the back by females.

Every Person Must Carry something Different Each Round. (Clearly for 3 person teams, the fourth round will be a repeat and thats ok.)

Good luck Andrew, Brendon, Maggie, and Rebekah on your ultra marathon!
