The Next Real Food Challenge

I stumbled upon Nourished Kitchen's 28-Day Real Food Challenge at the beginning of February, just as I was making the commitment to myself to change how my family eats. It was an intense 28 days. I survived and learned tons! But as the challenge was wearing down, I started to worry a little about losing the support, information, and accountability I had come to depend upon in my first month of changing my family's approach to food. So I was really excited to discover another Real Food Challenge just getting started over at Not Dabbling In Normal. Where do I sign up? (here, actually) I'll continue my journey with these folks for the month of March. This challenge has each participant working at their own pace and appreciating each step in the right direction. So if you are new to real foods, this might be a good challenge to try as you get your feet wet. Pop on over to NDIN and check it out!

  4. I saw about this challenge but it seemed too intense for the time I would have to put into it. From your notes, I can seen that it truly was intense, but also that you learned a lot. Best of luck on in the March challenge.

  5. Leigh, thanks for this! You know, I did stress my way through parts of the Feb challenge- but I don't regret doing it at all. I've read some criticism that that challenge was more likely to put people off real food than to encourage them. I think it could have better prepared people up front, but that alone might have put people off. In then end, individuals just need to decide for themselves how committed they are. You certainly don't have to join a challenge to commit to eating better. But for me it helps keep me on track.
