Fit & Wellness
Challenge
Nutrition will be one of the toughest parts of this challenge. It should be your PRIMARY FOCUS-not your workouts. Although your workouts will be important, how you fuel your body is what will help you drive your workouts to the next level. You can't have an effective workout if you are not fueling your body with the right foods. Below is a general list of guidelines to follow throughout the challenge.
For the next 8 weeks, you will be tracking your calories in (food). This is so you can see how many calories you are consuming. In order to lose weight, you must have a caloric deficit that is personal to your overall goal and is realistic. We want to aim to lose 1-2 pounds per week, therefore overall it is possible to lose 8-16 pounds during the challenge. Anything more can cause too much of a shock to your organs and may lead to negative affects overall.
