Who’s up for a challenge? I’ve been following Mark Sisson for the last year now, who wrote the Primal Blueprint. For me, everything I have learned over the last 3 years just came together about nutrition came together. He made everything so simple. If you want to be healthy, live as our ancestors used to live and eat plant based foods (vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grasses etc), animals and fish. Nothing else! It’s really not that hard and you can enjoy delicious, nutritious meals, that are all derived from natural ingredients.
Thank back to before the introduction of the agricultural industry, GMO, and the more recent introduction of processed foods and a whole plethora of poisons we consume like HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup and hydrogenated oils) on a daily basis that are simply killing us – not to mention playing havoc with we men. We know that chemicals such as pesticides, preservatives, herbicides, added hormones in meat to fatten them up, the unnatural GMO-rich diets animals are eating (and us) are all adding to a decrease in testosterone and sperm counts and are feminizing us. If you haven’t watched my video, it’s right here.
In short, grains are one of those hidden evils that culture, society and the media, tells us are healthy – where in actual fact, about two thirds of us can’t actually digest them properly, they contain anti-nutrients which cause inflammation, they’re high glycemic which mean they cause a blood sugar spike, which is swiftly followed by an insulin spike from your pancreas which extracts the extra blood sugar from your blood and stores it as fat. Unless you’ve just done an intensive workout, you really don’t want to have these constant blood sugar and insulin spikes – they seriously harm your health over the long term and mess with your hormones in a big way. Check out Mark Sisson’s 21 day Primal Blue Print Challenge. I dare you:
From there, you’ll have a series of Prep Tasks to complete before the Challenge starts on January 12, including:
- Purge your pantry of all non-Primal foods and restock it with Primal fare. Doing this now allows you to jump headfirst into the Challenge when it begins.
- Do a Primal Essential Movement assessment. Determine your level of physical fitness so you know what you’re working with and can plan fitness goals accordingly.
- Invite friends to join you in the Challenge. The strength of this app lies in the community you build, the accountability it promotes, and the healthy competition it provides. You need people to get those benefits.
You can also review the Primal Blueprint Guides to the aspects of Primal living that are especially important to success this Challenge, like the 10 Laws, Shopping Guide, Primal Essential Meals, and the Carb Curve.
After that, it’s a waiting game. Once the Challenge begins, the daily tasks will be linked to the daily challenges, contests, and content posted right here on Mark’s Daily Apple.
Important note: If you want to participate in the app challenge you have to sign up by January 12. There is no joining mid-Challenge. We will be making the app challenge available later this year and on a regular, revolving basis, but there will be a fee associated with future app challenges. Long story short, get in soon!
