FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I do the challenge anytime? What are the time restrictions?
A: The challenge starts the first day of summer June 21st and runs for 8 weeks.
Q: Are there customized plans available if I want something more?
A: YES! Our registered dietitian is available for individual add-on services if you would like a consultation or in depth meal planning.
Q: Is the Clean and Lean Challenge based on a low carbohydrate or ketogenic type diet?
A: No, the macronutrient composition of the Clean and Lean Challenge nutrition program if following the plan as provided is based on balanced macronutrients. Protein intake 20-25%, Carbohydrate intake 45-50%, and Fat intake 30% are used as goals for planning Clean Eating sample menus. Of course, it is possible to eat clean (and get lean) using other combinations of macronutrients, but I find this balanced approach works well for athletes.
Q: How much weight can I expect to lose in the Clean and Lean Challenge?
A: Weight loss results or changes in body composition will vary based on individual participant’s body surface area and efforts made with clean eating and exercise. A realistic expectation for the Clean and Lean Challenge is 1 pound per week for the participant who has 8 or more pounds to lose and is consistently following the Clean and Lean nutrition program, eating 500 calories per day less than their energy expenditure. See the weight loss chart below from a client who participated in 8 weeks of Clean eating for immune support and weight loss:
Q: Will the Clean and Lean Challenge nutrition program be time consuming and difficult to follow?
A: Like any lifestyle-based behavior change program, the Clean and Lean Challenge will require a commitment to daily and weekly goals, use of a list of Clean foods to plan menus and prepare meals. The amount of time spent in these tasks will vary by individual depending on their available time and cooking skills. It is possible to follow the Clean and Lean Challenge with only limited time and talent.
Q: Is the Clean and Lean Challenge like the Biggest Loser Challenge?
A: No, the Clean and Lean Challenge is not like Biggest Loser. Our objectives are centered on sustainable lifestyle changes the support clean eating and regular physical activity and movement rather than extremely difficult exercise routines and restrictive diets.
Q: How do I get the miles in and log them?
A: 200 miles over 8 weeks is an average of 25 miles per week. Anytime you do an activity you can upload your activity to our RESULTS SUBMISSION Page to track your miles. You can do more than 200 miles to go above and beyond. Overall results will be listed by the most miles done and you can check the leaderboard on the RESULTS page.
