As we approach the start of the #LevelUp45 challenge (which starts Monday, October 5th), the team and coaches at Prototype Training Systems want to help you as much as possible in your journey. The #LevelUp45 challenge was created as an opportunity for you and the community to come together to build better habits. And better habits lead to a higher probability of you being successful in whatever your health and fitness goals are.
As you may be aware, there are 5 categories that make up the #LevelUp45 challenge. Those categories are:
Today, we are going to be discussing the proven strategies that will help you CRUSH the Nutrition category in the #LevelUp45 challenge.
Building good nutrition habits is primarily done for weight loss. However, that’s not the only reason why a focus on diet is a good idea. It has many benefits beyond changing the scale. Research shows that making changes in your diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other manageable diseases, even if weight loss doesn’t happen. Additionally, eating well makes you feel good, and that is one of the most important things for a good quality of life. Who doesn’t want to wake up with more energy, the ability to keep building muscle, and the excitement of trying a new recipe or two?
Here are some ways to be successful with the five nutrition tasks for the #LevelUp45 challenge!
1A: 800 grams of fruits and vegetables
1B: Drink 75% of your bodyweight (in pounds) in water (in ounces).
1C: Track every meal in Myfitnesspal
1D: Get 0.8-1.0 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight
1E: No alcohol and/or caffeine
Whatever your choice is, make sure it is sustainable! Nutrition isn’t an all or nothing thing. It is an important aspect of life that ebbs and flows with the day-to-day wildness. So if you know it’s impossible for you to drink 75% of your body weight in ounces of water – that’s ok! Start with 60% and go from there. Worried about meeting the vegetable or protein goal? Snacking on veggies with hummus helps you kill two birds with one stone! And if one-day things don’t go as planned, the best thing you can do is accept it and try again the next day. The point is, choose a goal that works for you. Any step, no matter how small, leads you towards building better habits – and that’s exactly what the Level Up 45 Challenge is encouraging you to do!
