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:

Accountability

You will receive pre and post challenge body scans with our state of the art InBody 570 Body Composition Analysis equipment. This will allow you to track your progress with precise detail. Weekly coaching sessions run by our expert dietitian via exclusive Facebook group for further motivation and inspiration.

Education

You will access our SCOOD Online Weight Loss Course, which you can use to better understand what is needed to maintain good health through diet. You will learn how to: Lose weight without restrictive diets Control hunger Create healthy home and work environments

Motivation

If being healthy is not motivation enough, we are offering a grand prize of $20,000 for the winning participant of the CQ Nutrition Health Challenge. The winner will have the greatest fat loss percentage over the 4 weeks. Grand Prize $20,000 Second Prize $3,000 Third Prize $1,000 Plus the top 5 in each location (Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gladstone, Mackay and Emerald) will receive $500. Prize $500 (Top 5 in each location)

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.
