CHALLENGE STARTS APRIL 27TH. GET A KITCHEN SCALE.
After quarantine started, I jumped from 14% body fat to 18%.
Eating whatever I wanted. Moving around less. Eating "healthy" but too much... the list goes on.
But it's not just me. From looking at Instagram, talking to friends, talking to family, it seems like a problem that's happening for a lot of people. And here's the wakeup call that I had which a lot of you probably should have: When your country opens back up, it won't be easier to cut fat, it'll be harder. People will be flooding to restaurants, bars, etc. Healthy eating will go out the window. All that time you have now to workout? You won't have that time when you have to sit 40 hours at work, 10 hours in traffic, 30+ hours hanging out with your friends. The time to take control of your health is now. Not later "when things go back to normal". It's now.
So that's why I'm making this thread. An extremely easy 30 day challenge for anyone that wants to be a part of it and more conscious of your health. Here's the super easy challenge that for a lot of you will put you back on the right track.
1. Download a calorie/nutrition counting app.
Here's the one that I use: MyFitnessPal | MyFitnessPal.com. It's free.
Here's what that looks like:
The app allows you to track how much protein, carbs, etc. you're eating.
Most importantly it tracks how many calories you're eating. This is all info that no one ever pays attention to.
2. Buy a kitchen scale to start weighing all your food so you know what you're eating.
Here's a link: Amazon.com : kitchen scale. It costs only like $20. Start weighing everything you're eating and you'll know exactly what you're putting into your body. You need metrics.
Here's the scale I use. It's $16.99.
But buy whichever one works for you.
3. Start counting what you're putting into your body. Weigh everything.

Here's a link to a Youtuber I admire that explains simply why this is important. Skim through the video.
You don't know what you're putting into your body even if you think you do. Start monitoring it. Start taking control of your life.
4. Track your weight or whatever you consider important each week.
... And that's it.
No diet changes. No workout routines. The challenge is simply = become cognizant of what you're shoveling into your face.
Once you become cognizant of your metrics, you'll start making the changes you want to see.
Want less weight? Ok. Look at the metrics. Look at what you eat, and make the adjustments you need.
Not strong enough in the gym? Ok. Start tracking protein, if you're eating enough, if you had enough carbs to make that run, etc.
The second you start knowing what you're eating is the second that you'll be able to make the correct changes to come out of quarantine without regrets.
Best of luck.
P.s. If anyone wants support, we can do that in this thread - but for the most part it's straightforward. Everyone has their own goals. Define them, and then implement the numbers you need to execute on your goals.

Running on a highway with no cars is creepy though.
