The Rules
We’re not big on rules, however, commitment and discipline are paramount to you seeing the results that you desire. We’re not promoting quick fixes – we’re challenging you to make sustainable lifestyle choices. During any of our challenges here are the “guidelines”:
- Abstain from ALL alcohol beverages, fried foods, and fast food establishments.
- Drink a lot of water, it’s different for everyone’s body type – a rule of thumb drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water. Ex a woman that way 120 lbs would drink 60 oz of water.
- Commit to planning your meals and eating clean.
100% Commitment
If you want results, you must commit 100% to these 3 things:
- Attempt to complete each day’s workout
- Finish the entire challenge
- Hold yourself accountable to the rules. (which are very few)
Your commitment level will ultimately determine the results you will get so #BeCommitted

Cheat Days
Everything in moderation, even when it comes to eating clean. This is our approach to cheat days during a challenge. Making any lifestyle adjustment takes a lot of effort, so here is how we’ll tackle cheat days. There are no cheat meals during challenges that last less than 21 days. (Sorry, not Sorry)
For 21 Day Challenges, you get 3 cheat meals (see what we did there, meals NOT days) the entire challenge. We recommend you pace yourself and plan your cheat once every 7 days. Remember to stay committed; discipline is also being built during these challenges.
