BBCF Fall Nutrition Challenge!!!!

The BattleBorn CrossFit Nutrition Challenge is a 4-week nutrition and performance challenge. It is based on principles of the Paleolithic and Primal Blueprint Diets (a.k.a. Hunter/Gatherer Diet). During the 30+ days of this challenge you are expected to be “strict” and not stray from the guidelines. Everything is published to the group, and only you will know if you are being honest.

We hope that by the end of the challenge you will not look at this as a one-time thing to see if you can win. Look at it as a jumping off point for a continued healthy lifestyle.  After the challenge, if you decide to incorporate Paleo/Primal diet principles into your lifestyle you may want to experiment a little by adding some dairy or some additional fruit into your diet.  You may want to add in a cheat meal or some wine with dinner.  Many choose not to. You may be surprised by the reaction your body has to adding certain things back into your diet that you have eliminated for 30 days. You may even discover allergies and intolerances that you didn’t even know you had. Grains and Legumes are still an absolute no-no.
