This can be made a day ahead! For the topping if desired: This Will cover half of the fudge- Over medium to low heat stir in: *1/4 C heavy whipping cream *1/4 C coconut sugar *1 tablespoon butter

Say No to the Ice Cream Demon with the Whole90

By: 0

Is the Ice Cream Demon tempting you during the holidays? Don't worry. We've got your back. Our 2017 Whole90 nutrition challenge will give you all the tools you need to say no to cravings.
There are only 5 days left to get a discount on our 2017 Whole90 nutrition challenge!
Looking for a last minute Christmas gift? You can buy this as a last minute gift for friends and family members.
Even if you're not a CFSB member you can participate in the 2017 Whole90 nutrition challenge.
The last day to get a discount is Christmas! Here are all  details:
2017 Whole90 Early Bird Discount
  • If you sign up for the 2017 Whole90 Nutrition Challenge before Christmas you’ll get $10 off per month, and $30 off the entire cost of your Whole90 2017 membership.
What is the CFSB Whole90 Nutrition Challenge?
It’s CrossFit South Bend’s yearly gym nutrition program where we challenge you to eat real whole food for 90 days. We only do this ONCE a year and it’s over 50% off our one-on-one nutrition coaching prices.
Why should I do the CFSB Whole90 Nutrition Challenge?
Have you ever thought to yourself "I know what I should be eating, but I just can't bring myself to do it?" We can help. We can make it so that this year you finally achieve your health, fitness, and weight goals by eating healthy. How?
  • Guidance: We'll teach you exactly what you need to eat to be healthy
  • Support: No one has infinite willpower. We'll keep you going when you want to quit.
  • Accountability: We'll hold you accountable to your goals with weekly food journals.
How much weight can I expect to lose if my goal is weight loss? 
  • We think a healthy, sustainable amount of weight to lose is 8-12lbs a month, so you could lose up to 24-36lbs over the entire course of the Whole90 (assuming that you have that much weight to lose). Remember, the goal is not to lose as much weight as possible. It’s 1) to be healthy and 2) keep the weight off long-term.
What if I don't have any weight to lose and I want to build size and strength instead? 
  • We have a specific program called the Swole90 that teaches you how to gain healthy size and muscle with a foundation of real whole food instead of a bunch of junk food that will make you fat, sick, and tired.
Why 90 days? 
  • We want you to make healthy eating a life-long habit, and science has pretty conclusively shown that it takes 67 days (at a minimum) to establish a new habit. This is not meant to be a fad diet, detox, cleanse, etc.
Can I just sign up for one-month of the challenge?
  • No, mainly for the reasons stated directly above. We want to you to make healthy eating a habit and it requires more than 30 days to do that.
When will the challenge take place?
  • Sunday January 15th 2017 to Saturday April 15th 2017
Can friends and family who are not CrossFit South Bend members participate in the 90-day nutrition challenge?
  • Yes! You can send this webpage directly to your friends and family. This page includes a link, located just below, for people who are not CrossFit South Bend members to sign up.
Can I purchase the Whole90 Nutrition challenge for a friend or family member as a gift for the holidays?
