Rules
Paleo? This is not a strict paleo challenge, but a goal-oriented, sensible approach to your own nutrition. The main goals are to learn, have fun, and hold yourself (and each other) accountable in your nutrition. What’s good, what’s bad, and why? How do different things in your diet affect your body, your overall health, and performance? It’s ultimately about finding what works best for you and your goals, and making informed decisions about how you fuel your body.
Basic Guidelines:
-No refined, added sugars
-Focus on unprocessed whole foods, high quality fats + protein, vegetables, fruits and clean carbohydrates
-Focus on: workout performance, recovery, fueling properly
-Advise no drinking but one weekly drink exception with a point deduction
-All snacks/bars must be from pre-approved list
-All snacks/bars must be from pre-approved list
