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!

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.
