As we move out of our body transformation challenge and into our summer challenge, it reminds our members that nutrition isn’t just about maintaining a healthy weight. There is so much more to uncover and habitualize when it comes to nutrition than calories and macros.
Nutrition is your way to promote long-term health and prevent chronic disease NOT JUST maintain a healthy weight.
Food is the superpower that gives you the energy needed for all of your activities outside of the gym and in, it supports your muscle growth and repair, enhances immune function, and contributes to not only your physical well-being but your mental well-being as well.
Some of the nutrition challenges we will be doing this week may seem “easy” or “unimportant” BUT there is data behind their importance. And if compounded day by day, can make a world of difference in your world.
Interested in knowing what’s on the menu this week for Nutrition Week in our Thrive to Drive Challenge?
Check them out and see if you can implement one or two this week:
- Drink 20oz of water first thing in the morning each day
- Eat breakfast every day
- Don’t eat 2 hours before bed
- Don’t drink your calories – no high-calorie drinks

- Have a minimum of 3-4 hours between each meal all-day
Remember: Nutrition doesn’t always have to be complicated.
