Not Just Another Health Challenge
To lose weight, you must consume less kilojoules than their body will burn off.
Traditional health challengers focus on the moving more part. Although participants achieve results, it is via levels of exercise not sustainable beyond the end of the challenge.
This challenge will focus on the 100% of kilojoules coming in.


Unique Concept
Dietitian, Chris Hughes (author of The Tweaking Diet), created the format of this challenge based on data from the USA’s National Weight Control Registry. The data collated information from over 10,000 individuals who had lost an average of 33 kilos and kept the weight off for more than five years.
Based on this research, CQ Nutrition has established key recommendations for lasting weight loss results.
The elements are:

What About Exercise?
-
Exercise is critical for achieving optimal health.
-
Percentage change in fat loss is the primary determinate of the overall winner for the CQ Nutrition $20,000 Health Challenge. Muscle loss however, will be penalised and potentially cost you the chance to take home $20,000. For this reason we strongly recommend you partner with a suitably qualified fitness professional to help you throughout the challenge.

Further Motivation – Donation to School Breakfast Programs
We believe strongly in supporting the health and education of future generations. For that reason, CQ Nutrition pledges to donate $1 for every 1kg of body fat lost throughout the duration of the challenge. This money is donated to local schools to help fund school breakfast programs within Central Queensland.
School breakfast programs have proven outcomes of:
• Improved academic results
• Reduced behavioural problems
• Improved child nutrition
To reduce rates of obesity in Central Queensland, we believe preventative action is necessary. Influencing the diet and education of our youth is a positive initiative to begin that process.
