6 week Paleo Challenge

Start Date: Monday, January 14, 2013
End Date: Monday, February 25, 2013

What is Paleo?

Paleo = Meat, Fish, Eggs, Veggies, Nuts/Seeds, & Fruit – there are some foods on the fray that for some qualify as ‘paleo’ and for others not. You have to draw a line somewhere…

NOT Paleo = Grains, rices, breads, pastas, beans, soy, sugar & sweeteners (natural or unnatural), white flour, dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt), dried fruit (including dates), and basically anything that is processed / refined. I know there’s bound to be some questions on specifics so fire away below and we will do our best to answer.

Scoring
4 Points = Perfect Day, no cheats…not even a morsel…
3 Points = A tiny little slip up…its that little sip or little bite
2 Points = A portion of a meal was not Paleo…having a beer with dinner
1 Point = A whole meal was not Paleo…beer with pizza for dinner
0 Points = More than a whole meal was not Paleo

Bonus Points
+1 = 8 hours of sleep (lights out sleep, not in bed for 8 hours)
+1 = WOD (community, baby…we want to see you here)
+1 = 15 minutes of extra mobility work
+1 = One serving of meat/fish was grass fed/wild caught (limited to +2 per day)

So, ladies & gents, you have a possible NINE POINTS.
