Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar." - Greg Glassman
Daily Points
Each Fit February participant will start every day with 7 points. These points represent the 7 aspects of the Paleo Diet. Points will be reported daily online and kept track of in hard copy as well.
Eat real food. Lean Meat, seafood, eggs, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruit, oils (like EVOO or coconut, walnut,avocado). Eat foods with very few ingredients, all pronounceable ingredients, or better yet, no ingredients listed at all because they’re fresh and natural. Be reasonable here!
Do not eat dairy. This includes butter, cheese, yogurt and milk (including cream in your coffee).
Do not eat grains. This includes bread, rice, pasta, corn, oatmeal, and also any gluten-free pseudo-grains (quinoa, etc).
Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds, lentils, and peanuts. No peanut butter! Green beans and snap peas are just fine.
Do not eat sugars of any kind, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, Splenda, Truvia, Stevia, etc.
Do not eat processed foods. This includes protein shakes (other than your daily allowance), processed bars like Zone, Balance, and Pure Protein bars, dairy-free creamers, etc. Please speak with us if you have special needs, or questions.
Do not drink alcohol, in any form.
So, if you follow points 1-6 completely, but have a beer after dinner, you get only 6 points for the day. Subtract a point for the day if you have milk or cream in your coffee. Eat a bagel – subtract a point. Eat a Bagel with Cream Cheese, subtract 2 points. Etcetera. If you have a beer, milk in your coffee and a bagel all in one day, you’re down to 4 points for that day.
If you offend the same rule twice then you subtract another point. So if you had a bagel for breakfast and bread at lunch then you must subtract 2 points. If you really go crazy this could bring you down into the negative points. Don’t do that!
If you have a question about whether something counts as a point or not, ask and we’ll figure out an answer.
