Keep track of your food each day.
Add 10 points to your weekly Challenge total.

Here’s another tip for success in any Paleo Challenge:

Write down what you eat. 

Many of you did just that this week and, not surprisingly, had really good, clean, Paleo eating.  Food journaling keeps us honest, on track and helps us dial in our nutrition.  So if you haven’t started a journal yet, it is not too late.  Jump in this week and see what happens. You can turn it in on Monday at the gym and get your 10 extra points.

Here’s what journal review revealed this week:
Everyone did GREAT!
Everyone could add more leafy greens.  Cauliflower and sweet potatoes are popular and tempting, particularly after a workout but eat them WITH green veggies and leafies:  broccoli, kale, mizuna, collards, spinach, etc.
Vary your diet.  Eating 6 or 7 eggs in one day, nothing but chicken day after day, ham for breakfast, lunch and dinner –  that’s, well, plain boring.  Boredom is the enemy and doesn’t give you the broad range of nutrients your body is craving.  Mix it up.
If you have a goal for weight loss, watch your fruit and nut intake.  We don’t count calories in a Paleo Challenge but truth is, nuts and fruit are high in calories. Limit or eliminate fruits and nuts for the 4 week challenge if you are looking for weight loss.
Have a great week and keep up the good work!

Best,

Kat
