8.11.14 – Day 1

Day 1

Here we go with another fast & furious 19 day Challenge!

The Challenge starts today and goes through August 29th at 7:30pm.

 

The rules are similar to our last 19 day challenge and points are as follows:

• 5 points possible per day
• 1 point = daily fast – guys 17 hrs. girls 15 hrs. 
• 1 point = daily reckless wod
• 1 point = extra challenge workout
• 1 point = paleo + daily carbs from green veggies
• 1 point = 1 gallon of water daily

alcohol = -3 points | cheat = -1 point

Fasting: During your fast you are not able to consume ANY calories. No food, no supplements, no vitamins, nada. You are allowed water, unsweetened tea, and black coffee during your fast. That is it. Anything else will break the fast.

Carbs: You will get 1 point per day if you eat only green veggies. That being said, we opened it up to different carb sources for this Challenge without them being considered a “cheat”. You won’t get a point deducted from your daily score, however you will not get the (extra) point for eating just green veggies that day. If you guys have questions about this part ask Josh. He’s better at explaining than I am.

Alcohol: None for 19 days. Easy enough. If you drink you get -3 points for the day. It is possible to end up with negative points for a day.

Cheat: Anything not paleo or not outlined by us. You will not get your food point for the day, and you will get a -1 for the cheat. It is possible to end up with negative points for a day.

Please send your BEFORE photos (front, side, back view) to brittany.recklesscrossfit@gmail.com by Tuesday 10pm.

 

What can I eat?

• MEAT, VEGGIES, GOOD FATS
• Cinderella Paleo meats/meals
• Green veggies – broccoli, spinach, kale, lettuce, green peppers, cucumbers, celery… (highly encouraged to use only these for your carb intake)
• Good fats – avocado, coconut in any form, olive oil, grass fed butter…
• Any other PALEO veggie – allowed up to 3 days (days, not meals) a week
• Fruit – best option is berries, try to avoid sugary fruit like watermelon and bananas – allowed up to 2 days (days, not meals) a week
• Rx Bars – allowed up to 2 days (days, not meals) a week – this will count as your fruit for a “fruit day”
• Kill Cliff / 1st Phorm Protein / RSP products – allowed if taken within 1 hour of WOD (can’t be taken during a fast)

What is considered a cheat?

• alcohol
• non-grass fed cheese/dairy, yogurt…
• starchy carbs – potatoes, beans, peas…
• grains – oatmeal, rice, bread…
• sugar
• most processed/boxed food

 

So to break it down again, green veggies are your best bet in terms of carb intake. Try to stick with protein (meat), carbs (green veggies), and fat for every meal. It’s ok to have a different source of carbs (paleo veggies) up to 3 days a week, ok to have fruit up to 2 days a week (Rx bars are considered fruit), and ok to have Kill Cliff / 1st Phorm Protein / RSP products if taken within 1 hour of your WOD (can’t be taken during a fast).
