Here are the conditions of Food Rehab:

1. Phase 1: We're going sugar-free from April 17th-April 30th.
2. Phase 2: We're going strict Paleo Diet from May 1st-May 30th.
3. You must commit, you must not quit! If you are going to quit, then do not sign up! Rehab'rs will buy in for $20. If you quit or fail, you lose your money. If you succeed, you get your $20 back plus the spoils of the fallen.
4. Food logs are required weekly. No log, no $.
5. Use the blog to post comments, struggles, and motivation. We are CFS community!


There have been some common questions already regarding Food Rehab- so I will try and address some of those right off the bat.

Q: Can I commit to a different diet? (Zone, sugar-free, etc)
A: CFS Food Rehab is doing a strict Paleo diet. With that being said, you are more than welcome to join us in improving your nutrition through partaking in whatever food plan you wish or by simply continuing without sugar for the full 30 days. However, CFS will not hold you accountable for other food plans. We simply don't have the time to look over every food log each week and compare to other customized food plans- so we are keeping it simple and will only check the food logs of those participating in the Food Rehab plan.

We will also be talking a bit about why CFS has chosen the Paleo plan and the benefits of it, so hopefully you will be swayed to try the Paleo with us for the 30 days.

Please do still join us and receive the support and encouragement of your community no matter what though. We will motivate you and push you on the reach your goals no matter what!

Q: There are some differences in different Paleo food lists (some include dairy and other things and some do not)? Which one do we use?
A: You will find that about 95% of the Paleo foods are agreed upon across various articles and blogs. There are very few that people differ on. For Food Rehab, you are welcome to pick a plan that is good for you and meets your goals and beliefs. You must, however, have documentation as to why you are eating what your eating. For instance, if you want to eat green beans that's fine- but you must provide an article or food list talking about the benefits of green beans and why they are Paleo appropriate. We will do our best to provide you with some resources as well. Start thinking and researching for yourselves- increase your fitness IQ!!

If you have any more questions, please post to comments...

    Can people that are not members of CFS join the program?

  1. People outside of CFS can join, but will still need to submit food logs to CFS.

    Doing a good paleo diner tonight. Meatballs in a tomato sauce, covered in cheese (because I think Dairy is fine), with green salad.

    Who gets the money and where are we submitting the log. Are we weighing food or just logging what we have regardless of amount

    Hey Mike and Andy the whole nine is doing a nutrition seminar in Medford in June. Maybe we could get them to come to CFS after that I think there seminar is fairly inexpensive. I think they are only charging like $65 in Medford

  1. You can give your money to me (mike) as well as your logs. I will only be holding you accountable for the foods you eat, not how much. So no need to weigh if you don't want to.
