Are you ready for the new 15 Day #BodyfitRainbowChallenge?

It’s time to start our 15 day #BodyfitRainbowChallenge. Are you excited? We are opting for a clean eating diet and although this time the challenge is simpler than our #BodyfitBikiniChallenge, it is just as effective. It focuses on cleaning and detoxifying both your body and mind. Taking Bodyfit natural health supplements together with eating the right healthy foods will intensify the effect of your detox and aid weight loss as well as helping you to maintain a balanced diet.

The rules of the #BodyfitRainbowChallenge are very simple and easy to follow whether you are a hard working individual or a busy studying student, and we will do our best to make sure that your journey is creative and fun.

To motivate, inspire and support each other we would like all our challengers to be active in sharing their experiences, struggles and achievements on our Instagram channel, using #BodyfitRainbowChallenge. Let’s create a really big Rainbow Challenge! Let’s work together and after 15 days of the challenge, we will wake up absolutely reborn – full of energy, toned, smiley and happy!

 

The rules of the plan are as follows:

Rule 1: Rainbow diet contains no dairy (eggs, butter and mayonnaise are in this category), meat, bread (although yeast free bread without any additives is allowed 3 times per week), bananas, grapes, coconut yogurt or coconut oil (as it contains a great deal of saturated fats). In other words, it’s almost a vegetarian diet; fish or seafood are allowed 2-3 times per week. You can introduce to your meals – salmon, tuna, sardines, sea bass, prawns (for 2 weeks choose only Organic fish grown without any antibiotics or choose ocean caught fish);

Rule 2: No salt, sugar, coffee or alcohol during the challenge. Try to introduce various herbal teas to your daily routine, or alternatively try white or green teas instead of black;

Rule 3: Always schedule your meals in advance and carry with you healthy snacks – fruit, berries, nuts or seeds.
Start your day with a big glass of water with lemon. Drink 1.5- 2 liters of still water per day. You may add some cucumber, mint, berries or lime to your water;

Rule 4:  Do not eat later than 3 hours before you go to bed;

Rule 5:  Stay active. After taking a glass of water, begin your day with 15-20 minutes of energetic exercises, they will help you to wake up give an energy boost;

Rule 6:  Do think positively and smile more often! It will help you to be more focused and determined. Write and repeat positive affirmations to help your thoughts stayed organised and make your dreams come true.
