2019 Holiday Shred – Nutrition!
Starting Monday, Nov 4th, we’re doing a gym-wide challenge to help YOU stay healthy during the holidays.
During this 6-Week Challenge, we will focus on a few habits that will lead you to a fit life (especially during the holidays when things can go … a little awry).

Today, we’ll talk about your NUTRITION options.

The minimum requirement is Option 1. TRACK YOUR CALORIES.
That’s it. If you do this successfully, you’re fulfilling the NUTRITION part of the Challenge.

Do you want more? We have a higher standard for those who want to take their nutrition to the ⬆ next level ⬆ with …
Option 2: 
– Limit your alcohol consumption to ONE TIME PER WEEK. (Note: One TIME per week, not one “day”).
– No hydrogenated oils
– No bread, no pasta
– No dairy (this includes cheese y’all)
– No added sugar
If you choose the 2nd option, you’ll still need to track your calories.

If you’re new to nutrition, start with Option 1. Tracking calories is a great first step in learning nutrition in general. We would like you to use an app/website like My Fitness Pal.
If you’ve been around the block a few times, go for option 2! Work on cleaning up your kitchen this week and getting your house in order so you can eat better for the next 6 weeks.

Feel free to join our Facebook Group for weekly motivation!
