Casey is the 2nd Place Winner!
Congratulations Casey on a miraculous change! Your discipline has visibly paid off. The picture on the left is from March 25th this year and the one on the right is from June 25th. Check out the Q and A with Casey below to find out the secrets to his success.
What dietary approach did you did you take for the challenge (ie. Zone, Paleo, your own special blend of programs etc.)?
Paleo plus dairy in 18-block Zone proportions. I kept my carb blocks at half of prescribed. I also cut my coffee intake to 1 cup per day (from about 3).
What was your biggest struggle nutritionally?
I didn’t feel like it was a struggle at all.
What do you consider a go-to healthy meal that you used extensively during the challenge?
Breakfast is usually: 3 scrambled eggs and 2 oz of another protein, a tablespoon of sunflower seed butter and maybe a veggie or fruit.
My favorite snack is my evening snack which is usually: 1 oz cheese, half an apple and a small teaspoon of peanut butter.
Was your eating plan difficult to live with? Did you feel deprived?
No, I really enjoy eating like this and do not feel deprived. If I feel like I need something more dessert-like than an cheese/apple/PB, I sometimes make a coconut milk and fruit smoothie.
Did you have any cheat meals? Were they planned or did they just happen when they happened?
Yes, I had cheat meals now and then. I don’t plan them. Sometimes it just works out that I’m at someone’s house or just out and there are no other options. I don’t let it get to me.
How do you feel eating this way has or will help your performance?
YES! Since starting this challenge I’ve set PR’s on almost every single workout and have been feeling awesome.
