Completed Mini-Challenges
Week 1
Clean out the cupboards! Go this first week with no "bad" foods.
Guidelines:
Guidelines: Get rid of your nemesis foods. Hide the things your family "must" have in a special cupboard - better yet, give them away. Let them eat that crud at work or a friend's house. :) Cook only approved foods. It won't hurt your family a bit to eat like a caveman, too.

Week 2
Average 25 grams of fiber a day - without eating beans or grains!
Guidelines:
It can be hard to make the shift from whole grains to high fiber vegetables, but you'll be glad you did. I'll post resources to help you identify these foods and get them into your daily food choices. (This might be a good time to start a 1 or 2 week detox session, too!)
