So if you haven't seen the board in the gym here is the lowdown for how I'm trying to get the whole challenge going. As far as things go this is mostly for those of you who haven't gotten in the groove of things and are still eating the delicious yet horrible grain and his buddies dairy and legumes. This is not say that all you others that follow the diet can still enter and try your best to go for the win.

Anyway, to help entice some of you there there will be a 10$ buy in. This will go towards a money pot that certain winners will get at the end of the challenge. Along with the money the 1st prize winner will also be receiving the grand prize of a free month membership.

So the rules will basically be each person will log their food, sleep and workouts for a month.
                   (Abiding strictly to the no grains, dairy or legumes theory. Along with that I may need to throw in another monkey wrench. No sugar...!!!! oh no...yes, no sugar of any kind(unless their are accompanied by fiber, i.e. fruit), that means agave and all its other buddies. Why? believe it or not sugar substitutes and even their low glycemic buddies may still neurologically give the same signals in your body.)
To track your progress I will also have everyone do a tape test, a scaled weight and a beginning picture. For those of you wanting to go the extra mile have a battery of blood tests that you can also track to see how the diet is helping you. On the performance side of things everyone will also pick one wod and strength workout they want to improve on.
Finally I will have a nutrition class on the sat of the 30th to give everyone a little walkthrough about the whys and hows of the whole paleo journey.

Will it be hard? yes , probably....sugar and grains are a drug and for the most part people are severely addicted.
What if I'm thin, will it help? If you think grains don't do anything try a month without then go back, see how you feel.
But eating this way is boring and bland. Only if your not willing to learn to cook a little. If its not tasty your really not trying ,ask mike and jenny and stef how my cooking tastes. It's not that hard, I'll thrown in some recipes.

I want to stress the fact that looking good isn't the only important thing when looking at your health you might look healthy and fine but your blood levels might be horrible. There are such things as skinny diabetics!! Also if weight loss is the big goal working out will help, but its not going to be the main factor and shedding those extra pounds.

In the meantime if you want to get more information, feel free to email me. Ssj2los@gmail.com or check out Robb Wolf's hilarious and informative The Paleo Solution.

So there you have it earn a free month of crossfit, win some money, lose some weight and probably feel better then you ever have, and all it will cost you is a month of not eating dessert. So go out prove me wrong try it for 30 days and see if you don't feel any better.
