I’ve been looking though my search results and I’ve seen people come to my site looking for a 7 Day Clean Eating Challenge, and a 5 Day Clean Eating Challenge. I have some good news and some bad news, and then some even better news….
Clean Eating Challange
3 In January I started an 8 week clean eating challenge to see what effect it might have on my body. After 8 weeks of careful eating – the results are in!
Clean Eating Challenge – The Conclusion
I’ve only 2 weeks left – I’ve not been updating the blog as often as I was when I started the CEC, but then once you get into the swing of it there’s less to say! This is an update of my progress and thoughts so far, along with some […]
Clean Eating Challenge – End of Week 6
It’s 3 weeks now that I’ve been carefully controlling my eating, avoiding processed foods and what most people consider staple foods such as pasta, rice and bread! Last week I sent myself a couple of goals, so here’s an update on how it’s going.
Clean Eating Challenge – End of Week 3
Two weeks into my Clean Eating Challenge and I’m still learning how best to balance my meals, and about portion control – but this week I also got my best ever beep test score, and set two new personal bests in lifting.
Clean Eating Challenge – End of Week 2
I’ve not felt the need for daily updates in my clean eating challenge for the last few days, I’m getting far better at balancing out my 6 daily meals and hitting my macro goals. I still intend to publish full day breakdowns, but I’ll do it at the bottom of […]
Clean Eating Challenge Day 9 to 14
This is my closest day to hit my macronutrient goals set by the CEC. A little bit of tweaking but it seems to be getting easier. Chicken breast seems to be helping hit protein without causing high fat content.
Clean Eating Challenge – Day 8
One week in! The second rest day of the week – yesterday I did my fitness testing that involved several one rep max lifts (1RM for short) so the muscles ache a bit and I feel I should rest.
Clean Eating Challenge – Day 7
4 A week into my Clean Eating Challenge and I’ve learnt a lot, and also failed in a few places too! I’ve been pretty careful with what I eat (on and off a little, but mostly on) for the last few years anyway, but I’m taking it to a new level as […]
Clean Eating Challenge – End of Week 1
Today I did my fitness testing. I probably should have done this on day 0, however it’s quite hard to find time to fit things in sometimes.
Clean Eating Challenge – Day 6
1 I’m still struggling to get the protein to fat balance right – it seems that almost everything high in protein is also high in fat. I didn’t know eggs had just as much fat in as protein!
Clean Eating Challenge – Day 5
Today I tried to increase my carbs in the morning – and failed. I’m behind on carbs today, it seems I need to find ways of increasing this real soon. I’m also low on protein, despite eating turkey, salmon, and cream cheese today. This is hard hard work! It’s a […]
