HERE WE GO!!!
I HAVE PUSHED THE START DATE TO NEXT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2014
THIS IS A 6 WEEK CHALLENGE.
WE ARE USING A GOLF SCORING SYSTEM SO THE LOWER YOUR SCORE THE BETTER. HAVE A DRINK, GIVE YOURSELF A POINT. NO ORGAN MEAT? GIVE YOURSELF A POINT.
1. NO SUGAR. NO CHEAT DAYS. NO SUGAR SUBSTITUTES. NO AGAVE, HONEY, STEVIA, DATES (FOR NOW).
2. NO ALCOHOL.
3. NO GLUTEN.
4. NO DAIRY. (JUST TRY IT. 6 WEEKS WON'T KILL YOU). EXEMPT FROM THIS IS BUTTER AND GHEE FOR COOKING.
5. EAT ORGAN MEAT ONCE A WEEK. AND DON'T EAT ORGAN MEAT FROM A SICKLY, INDUSTRIALLY RAISED ANIMAL. COOL SPRINGS RANCH HAS GREAT ORGAN MEAT.

6. MAKE BONE BROTH ONCE A WEEK AND CONSUME A CUP EVERYDAY. EVERY CULTURE IN THE WORLD EXTOLS THE VIRTUE OF BONE BROTH. IT DOES WONDERS FOR THE GUT AS WELL AS YOUR JOINTS.
GET YOUR SOUP POT ON AND FILL IT WITH WHATEVER. NOT ONLY IS BROTH NUTRITIONALLY DENSE, IT IS A GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY AND ELIMINATE WASTE. ONION PEELS, CARROT TOPS, PARSLEY, YOU NAME IT. AND USE CHICKEN FEET AS THEY ARE FULL OF COLLAGEN! YOUR JOINTS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. SAME AS NUMBER 5, DON'T USE CHICKEN CARCASSES OF SICKLY ANIMALS.
I HAVE INCLUDED 2 LINKS THAT EXPLAIN HOW TO MAKE BROTH AS WELL AS ITS HEALTH BENEFITS.

WHERE DO I BUY CHICKEN FEET? MY GO TO IS COOL SPRINGS RANCH http://www.coolspringsranch.ca
7. NOURISH YOUR GUT - EAT 30 DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANT MATTER EVERY WEEK.
8. SLEEP IN A VERY DARK ROOM. TURN OFF THE ELECTRONICS A GOOD HOUR BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.
9. TRAIN 4 HOURS A WEEK. 3 HOURS MINIMUM AT FLUX, ONE HOUR AT LEAST OUTSIDE (WITH KIDS, ANIMALS, FRIENDS, WHATEVER).
10. EAT FERMENTED FOOD EVERYDAY.
11. EAT RESISTANCE STARCH EVERYDAY. SEE THE FOLLOWING LINK - http://freetheanimal.com/2013/12/resistant-primer-newbies.html
12. TAKE A GOOD QUALITY FISH OIL. WE NOW CARRY NORDIC NATURALS FISH OIL - THE BEST GRADE OUT THERE.
13. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS OF YOURSELF. ALSO, MEASURE YOUR BELLY AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE CHALLENGE.
14. TAKE MAGNESIUM AND ZINC.
15. SOME FRUIT IS OK. GO FOR BERRIES OVER APPLES AND BANANAS.
16. OATS? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/are-oats-healthy/#axzz3DaxErPlh
IT SEEMS THAT YOU CAN MITIGATE SOME OF THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF OATS THROUGH FERMENTATION. A BIT OF WORK. IF YOU ARE HAVING GUT ISSUES - BLOATING AND GAS, CUT THEM OUT FOR THE 6 WEEKS. I THINK THE ELIMINATION DIET IS THE WAY TO GO FOR THE 6 WEEKS. TAKE THEM OUT FOR 6 WEEKS AND THEN REINTRODUCE.
17. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT AND WHAT WORKS FOR SOME MIGHT NOT WORK FOR OTHERS. HERE IS A GOOD GUIDELINE FOR DETERMINING HOW MANY CARBS YOU SHOULD BE TAKING IN.

ANY QUESTIONS?
Im on a hiatus from Facebook, forgive me if these questions have already been asked;
ReplyDelete- can you recommended a few websites for meal ideas?
- eggs okay?
- is fruit introduced at some point during the 6 weeks?
- Are we going for drinks after the 6 challenge?
Many thanks,
Carla
Eggs - I recently cut out eggs to try and figure out if I have an intolerance to them. You decide. Eggs are relatively inexpensive and easy but if you do have pesky belly fat, suffer from bloating, I would eliminate for 6 weeks. We will go for drinks.
ReplyDeleteKombucha, yes or no?
ReplyDeleteI am also curious about any recipe blogd/suggestions since the eliminated items are pretty much all of my standard fare ;p
ReplyDeletethanks for any tips,
Pat
There's some discussion on the Facebook page, but:
ReplyDeleteMark's Daily Apple (http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-paleo-recipes/#axzz3E3KpRrjS) has loads of recipes that fit the rules!
Also, NomNomPaleo (http://nomnompaleo.com/)
Kombucha is a big YES! Especially homemade, but store bought is ok too, as long as you check the sugar content and don't buy the ones that are mostly juice.
