Back in June 2020, I was asked by the the Community Liaison Office with the US Embassy Branch Office in Tel Aviv to help with a fitness challenge for their employees and family members. I was asked to help with the nutrition component. I came up with nutrition related challenges for the participants to work on each week throughout the 6 week challenge.
Below is are the challenges that I came up with for each week:
- Keep a food log for 3 straight days using pen and paper, an Excel sheet, or a free fitness app (like MyFitnessPal).
- Make something from scratch that you would normally buy pre-made.
- Calculate water needs. Track consumption throughout the week and then compare with your consumption at the beginning of the week.
- Try a new fruit or vegetable this week or prepare a fruit or vegetable you eat regularly in a different way.
- Go vegetarian for at least 3 meals this week.
- Evaluate your diet now. How has it changed or not changed? Record everything you eat or drink for 3 days.
During the week that I challenged the participants to try a new fruit or vegetable, I made a video on papaya. See the video link below to watch.
