ZERO ONE NUTRITION CHALLENGE

When: November 1st – November 30th
What: 30 Day Challenge – Zero Ingredients, One Plate, 3-4 Meals per day
Cost: Free!
Join our Zero One Challenge Facebook Group to keep your friends accountable!
Sign-up at the front desk by November 1st

Challenge Details..

“Zero” Ingredients
Exactly how it sounds! Fill your plate with food that does not have any extra ingredients added to it.
Example: broccoli is considered broccoli. Chicken is chicken. A banana is a banana.
There are no other ingredients to these food sources.
We are aiming to incorporate as many real foods into our diet.
Real food was once alive and doesn’t come from a box or container. If it has a long shelf life, it is not considered real food.

Check out some food examples below..

One Plate / 3-4 Meals per Day
Aim for one plate per meal. No seconds! Try to fill your plate with protein, carbs, fats, and vegetables in every meal.
Generally, 3 meals/day for smaller women and 4-5 meals/day for a larger male. These are generalizations, but good starting points. If you are lean, active, and hungry, add more. Be sure to talk to a coach for additional advice!

Accountability Tracking
We suggest joining our Zero One Nutrition Challenge Group to keep yourself and other members accountable!
TILT Coaches will be posting in this group throughout the month as well to check in and to provide tips and tricks.
In addition, we will be emailing out weekly content to all challenge participants. Be sure to sign-up at the front desk and include your email!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we drink alcohol on the challenge?
We highly encourage eliminating alcohol during the challenge to optimize your results! However, if you find yourself needing that glass of wine or a drink throughout the week, try to limit your consumption.

Do we have to stick to the foods that are on the food lists?
No! These are just examples of favorable options. The goal is to incorporate foods with no added ingredients. There are plenty of other options out there!

What about dairy and grains?
No foods are off limits. However, the basis of this challenge is trying to incorporate foods with no added ingredients. For the most part, this would be foods that do not have food labels or extra ingredients added to them. Think veggies, fruits, meats, etc..for example, broccoli is just considered broccoli – nothing else to it! With that said, if you still want to incorporate some grains and dairy in your meals, go for it. In addition, if you have never tried to remove something from your diet for 4 weeks, we would highly suggest trying this at some point. Start my removing one thing (example: maybe it’s dairy) and track how you feel before and after the 4 weeks. Experimenting with this can tell you a lot. For some, maybe you’ll find that dairy actually doesn’t sit well with you. For others, maybe there is no negative effects and helps fuel you. All about experimenting and seeing what works for you!

What about going out to dinner?
It is not our goal to become anti-social cave-dwellers! Still go out and enjoy – just be selective with your orders. Every restaurant out there will have options for some sort of meat/seafood as the main course. Start with that, and ask for extra veggies for the sides.

Click HERE to view teams and heats!
Coaches will be emailing you and your teammates by October 5th to start planning a team costume!

What are the workouts?
Workouts will be announced shortly! Stay tune…
Each workout will have multiple heats. There will not be heat times. Once a workout ends, the next will start promptly afterwards.
All workouts (just like our normal class workouts) can be modified based on each athlete.

What is the beer mile?
Following the throwdown, we will be holding a beer mile for anyone that would like to participate!
See the official TILT Beer Mile rules below..

At the call of 3, 2, 1, GO athletes will drink their first beer (Miller Lite). There is no shotgunning or funneling allowed. You must drink the beer from the can. Once you finish your beer, you must dump finished beer over your head and run 400 meters. If there is beer present you will be penalized 15 seconds. If an athlete throws up or urinates during the beer mile that athlete is out. Athletes will complete this couplet of 1 beer + 400m run x 4.

***Although the beer mile will be an amazing time and display of the utmost athletic prowess, please understand that we expect all participants to behave responsibly. We are all adults and you will be expected to act like it.  We all know it’s very illegal and very dangerous to drink and drive.  Please plan accordingly. You will absolutely not be able to drive immediately after doing this fun challenge. Get a ride. Uber. Ask a friend. Hang out for the awesome potluck for a few hours. But no driving. No exceptions. Let’s be smart and have some fun, but let’s do it safely.  If at any time, you want to stop, STOP.

After the Beer Mile, we will start the potluck…We would love it if people would bring a dish and/or something to drink.

Lift n’ Chill Sundays

What: Olympic Lifting Sessions/Clinics
When: Sundays in September at 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM
9/3 – 9/10 – 9/17 – 9/24
Where: TILT Sudbury – 31 Union Ave
Who: Eddie and whoever’s ready!
Why: To raise money for Tedy’s Team
Cost: $20 per session made directly to Eddie’s campaign
*Cash donations will be accepted day of or can donate through campaign page HERE

From Coach Eddie:
I’m looking to raise money for the 2024 Disneyland Half Marathon benefiting Tedy’s Team. Tedy’s Team raises awareness for stroke symptoms so that people can become familiar and give themselves or others a fighting chance, and raises money to help survivors make a strong comeback. I choose to run for Tedy’s Team because my cousin Jazmine passed from a sudden hemorrhage to the brain, known as an SAH (Subarachnoid hemorrhage). Though Jazmine did not survive at the young age of 39, I’m looking to help the next person by making sure everyone is aware that this can happen to anyone, at any time, and that you have a chance as long as you understand some of the symptoms and call for help ASAP.

Happening every Sunday during the month of September, I am going to be hosting Olympic Weightlifting clinics at CrossFit TILT Sudbury. Every clinic will include warmups, movement review, lifting, and direct observation and coaching. There will be optional accessory work to be performed in between sessions for those that would like to.

The cost of attendance is a $20 donation made directly to my campaign, or made in person at the door, for every session you wish to participate in. Come to one, or come to all. This is open to anyone who is interested in getting better at the Clean and Jerk, Snatch, and learning more about the sport itself.

I will provide coffee and donuts every session, and attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite refreshments to enjoy at the conclusion of every session if they wish. We’ll chill until it gets warm.

-Peace and love, Eddie

This event is central to CrossFit TILT’s charitable mission and we are incredibly honored to again host such a powerful event. In addition, we will be having speakers throughout the event,

Our fundraising efforts will be donated to Veterans Inc., a veteran support organization based in Worcester, MA. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to The Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation and the Camarena Educational Foundation. We hope that you will join us for this memorial event and make it as great of a success as it has been in years past! Tune in this year to hear from some amazing guest speakers with personal connections to some of the heroes we are honoring.

There is a suggested donation of $25 per participant, but anything you are able and willing to contribute is greatly appreciated.

How To Sponsor a WOD:
Looking for a creative way to donate? We are accepting sponsorships for every workout for a flat rate donation of $250 per workout. You will have an opportunity to read the Hero Bio before the workout kicks off. You can also pledge a donation based on attendance, specific contests, etc.

For example: you can donate $X Amount of money for every participant that attends a specific workout. Another option would be to propose a contest for all to participate in: 1 Minute Max Burpees! You can donate $X Amount of money for the most burpees performed in one minute.

Get creative! Email brian@crossfittilt.com to sponsor a WOD or pledge a donation.

Come ready to workout, have fun, and support a great cause!

Supporting a Cause!
If you find yourself unable to donate, please don’t let that keep you from stopping by and participating in this event! The true intention of this event is to come together to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. In the words of Veterans Inc., “they were there when we needed them. We must be there now that they need us.” Whether your support is through monetary donations, giving a little piece of yourself during a workout, or just tuning in to show your support, we’re all in this together.
