FAQ
Can i have coffee and tea or sparkling water? Yes. as long as there are no artificial sweeteners. Likewise, you can have mineral water as it just contains salts and minerals
Can i have creamer? No creamer but you can use butter ,heavy cream, coconut milk. This will be apart of your fats for that meal.
Where can i get recipe ideas from? Think paleo but be mindful of the portions as paleo tends to be super high in fats. Remember im allowing only one thumb size per meal of fats. You can also see my Pinterest board for recipes. I have https://www.pinterest.com/pin/252975704056479821/ Please scroll down to the comments section of each post as i mention the exact measurements per serving for most recipes.
Can i have protein bars or energy drinks? Negative on both. unless you can pick it in the field and eat it right away then its not considered a real food. you will lose a point for eating anything other than a real/ whole food.
can i have bread? again its not a real food. You can certainly make your own with an egg and flax seed meal / almond meal.
are there cheat meals/items? not for this challenge. we are looking to cut quickly and within a short period of time so doing this can sabotage your efforts. If your craving sugar or fatty or fried foods try to incorporate healthy fats and honey/ dark chocolate / maple syrup into your dishes. Fruit is natures candy. If your really craving sugar and fatty foods perhaps your water and sleep are to blame. Stress can cause this too.
why no rice or grains? some of us are allergic and dont even know it. Also it causes inflammation in the body. Try to sub with cauliflower rice.
Can i have snacks? nope. no snacks. why you ask? we want work on building insulin sensitivity and if your eating often or grazing your body will continue to release a steady stream of insulin. Likewise when you eat SUPER large meals. So listen to your hunger cues and cut out your snacking.
what if my meats have fats in it, do i still have to add a fat source on top of that? Yes you will still add extra fats. The only time you will NOT add additional fats is if you choose A) Fatty fish like salmon B) Eat more than 2 whole eggs per meal C) if you choose to eat fattier meat sources that are below 90% Lean.
will new members to the gym get to do crossfit too? Definitely. They get unlimited crossfit classes during the challenge following their initial first week of Fundamentals. See the Fundamentals schedule HERE
Can i take supplements? i will allow supplements, BCAA, beta alanine, creatine, glutamine, only in its purest form. ABSOLUTELY NO PRE-WORKOUTS OR ENERGY DRINKS. Protein powder is ok so long as it contains no oils. Yea check your labels cause you could be choosing some crap ass protein lol
