3 Week DOWN & DIRTY (to clean eating) Challenge
May 20 - June 10, 2017
This is NOT my typical challenge and may not be for everyone.
There will be no points or charts to record each day for motivation.
Just a list of suggested food ideas, water intake and daily exercise.
We will report WEIGHT LOSS each week and I will provide results each week.
I hope that is incentive enough.
I know it will be for me! I'm ready.
You do NOT need a team. You will compete as an individual.
Registration is $30 with $20 going into the pot.
We will have 1-2 male and female winners depending on how many sign up!
THE REGISTRATION LINK IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.
Here are the suggestions to follow for this challenge:
Eating whole foods/real foods ONLY
(meaning foods in their whole form or closest to whole form...links below)
Suggestion to allow 2 cheats per week to keep you sane.
Suggested 50-64 ounces of water per day.
Exercise daily or every other day if high intensity interval training.
There are different suggestions for following a whole foods diet.
Here are the two links I am suggesting basing your food off of for the next 3 weeks.
I love the part about if it is packaged, wrapped or boxed it needs to have less than 5 ingredients that you can pronounce and read!!
What you CAN eat:
- Whole foods that are more a product of nature than a product of industry
- Lots of fruits and vegetables (we recommend that you shop for these at your local farmers’ market)
- Dairy products like milk, unsweetened yogurt, eggs, and cheese
- 100% whole-wheat and whole-grains (find a local bakery for approved sandwich bread and check theUnderstanding Grains post for more info)
- Seafood (wild caught is the optimal choice over farm-raised)
- Only locally raised meats such as pork, beef, and chicken (preferably in moderation)
- Beverages limited to water, milk, all natural juices, naturally sweetened coffee & tea, and, to help the adults keep their sanity, wine and beer!
- Snacks like dried fruit, seeds, nuts and popcorn
- All natural sweeteners including honey, 100% maple syrup, and fruit juice concentrates are acceptable in moderation
- Also check out the Recipes & Resources page for a more detailed list of meal options including links to recipes
What you CANNOT eat:
- No refined grains such as white flour or white rice (items containing wheat must say WHOLE wheat…not just “wheat”)
- No refined sweeteners such as sugar, any form of corn syrup, cane juice, or the artificial stuff like Splenda
- Nothing out of a box, can, bag, bottle or package that has more than 5 ingredients listed on the label
- No deep fried foods
- No “fast foods"

WHAT CAN YOU EAT?
Eat foods that come in their natural state. If it grows in the ground or is farmed/fished/hunted, you can eat it. Don’t eat junk/processed foods, foods with more than 5 ingredients or things made with ingredients you can’t pronounce. If it comes in a box and was made in a factory, avoid it.
What is a whole food?
Produce of any kind:
- Fresh vegetables such as leafy greens, carrots, avocados, radishes, cucumbers, squash, and sweet potatoes
- Fresh or dried fruit such as apples, pears, oranges, watermelon, tomatoes, grapes, and bananas
- Dairy products without added sugar or chemical flavorings such as plain greek yogurt
- Meat, poultry, and fish that is baked, roasted, grilled, or boiled
- Legumes, nuts, and products made from them such as hummus and nut butter as long as it’s made without added sugar, unhealthy fats, or chemicals
What isn’t a whole food?
- Anything with too many ingredients, chemical ingredients, or ingredients that you can’t pronounce
- Most foods out of a box (e.g. rehydrated mashed potatoes, crackers, or cookies)
- Most prepared meals in the freezer isle
