Welcome to F3 Fuel Challenge / Summer 2015!
BACKGROUND:
Health is a product of many things but primarily your diet and exercise. While F3 is very much focused on the exercise portion, many of us may not pay as much attention to our overall health, including what we eat and drink. Maybe you would like to drop a few pounds or reduce your alcohol intake. Maybe you have tried to eat healthier but keep “cheating” because there was no accountability for doing so.
For these reasons and many more, F3/Fuel is launching a 6-week cleanse program, “Challenge Summer 2105”, from July 6 to August 15th. This program is modeled after one that has been used at various times over the past eight years. Many of those guys have lost weight during these six-week programs, but more importantly improved their nutrition for the long-term after this “detox” or cleanse. F3/Fuel will follow this program with other ideas throughout the year.
Base Program:
The Challenge will give you a chance to test yourself with the support of your fellow men of F3. And maybe after 6 weeks, you will stick to the plan (or much of it) in order to live a healthier lifestyle. The program will have a base list of items that are prohibited during the six weeks as follows:
· No ALCOHOL
· No Fried Foods
· No Fast Food (inc. Pizza)
· No Red Meat
· No Breads
· No Potato Chips, Snack Foods, Etc.
· No Desserts
· No Sodas or Sweet Tea
This leaves many food and drink items available – no one will go hungry! Just eat/drink better.
You will receive ONE free pass per week – this could be a steak dinner, a pizza, or a drinking occasion, etc. – no carryovers though, the pass can only be used that week – try to use your weekly pass in moderation.
Weekly Challenges:
In addition, we will add WEEKLY CHALLENGES, beginning in week two. These may include dropping something else from your diet (such as dairy products or caffeine) or adding something to your routine.
WEEK ONE – Take this first week to begin The Challenge.
WEEK TWO to SIX – To be announced each week on the F3/Fuel site
Weekly challenges start on 7/13/15 and are NOT cumulative (unless you want them to be). They will be announced a few days before the next week starts (e.g. on 7/10 or 7/11, the first challenge will be posted on the site). We will use Twitter and / or email to remind you of each week’s challenge posted on the site (no email).
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO OTHER GUYS AS YOU SEE FIT – just like exercise, the group system works.
Cheers!
