30-Day Nutrition Challenge Results & Winners!
Another Nutrition Challenge has come to an end, and once again we are amazed by the results. Congratulations to everyone who participated and stuck to the challenge for the entire 30 days. While being 100% strict and perfect every day of your life is impossible, dialing it in for a short period of time is extremely useful in helping identify poor habits or intolerance that you may not have recognized before. We think that these results speak for themselves – hard work and consistency pays off!
Choosing a winner for these challenge is always tough, because all of the participants work hard, make sacrifices, and see results. Therefore, many things go into determining the nutrition challenge winners – not just the total amount of weight lost! Michelle looks at things like compliance with the rules and diet (avoiding alcohol, processed foods, added sugar, drinking enough water, getting enough rest, mobilizing, and logging meals), consistent intake (not skipping meals), eating balanced meals (not skimping on carbs), pre/post workout nutrition (are you fueling workouts properly), consistent workouts, total % of body weight lost, body fat and inches, and differences in pre/post challenge WOD scores. She looks at the BIG picture.
Please join us in congratulating our winners from the 30-Day challenge!
