Paleo Challenge Testimony: Cory Heitz

Paleo Challenge 2010

Fun times indeed.  I ended up shedding 7 pounds which I didn’t even plan on doing.  It has really shredded up my torso and I like the results. 

I have done similar diets before, so this wasn’t too bad.  The first week wasn’t too difficult, especially since you can eat any fruit.  I also did a 2 week detox during the challenge which was welcomed.  You are eating the same foods required on a detox and pushing water, so I thought they went well together.  I would suggest it to others, however one MUST keep their immune system primed, so they don’t get weakened during workouts, and potentially get sick.  (This has happened to me in the past).

My time saver was to make fruit shakes each morning, and grill a lot of chicken each Sunday evening for the week.  Eating out however is not easy to do at all.  Finally I would suggest always having a bag of almonds in the front seat of your car.  Healthy, filling, and keeping the metabolism burning.      Thanks for all your help!

 Notes: This weekend is supposed to be warmer, in the mid 30s with a 20% chance precipitation. Dress appropriately. Hands and ears should still be covered.  Layer accordingly and wear something up top that blocks the wind. Don’t forget your water bottle for after the run.  For after the run, have a change of clothes and plan on refueling with something warm within 30 minutes. (Soup, cocoa, hot food).
