Rebecca is the Week 1 winner of our Summer Bodies Challenge. She wins a brand new chef's knife and cutting board ($30 value! That's what the entry fee was!). Ooooh.



1) What is your secret to success?


I think it has really helped that I have been really busy with school- I have not been going on social activities or exposing myself to a ton of temptation. That said, I did hang out with friends where a lot of bad food was available, but I came full and nibbled on the fruit. Also I went to the grocery store with a plan. And I boiled a dozen eggs to have on hand in case I had to eat on the run.

2) What is your favorite cure for a sugar, bread and/or alcohol craving?


Perrier is my cure for soda craving (I just like bubbly things) and dates are awesome if you really want a sweet treat. Try putting walnuts inside the dates, and it is like candy.

3) What's your favorite go-to snack or meal?

A hard boiled egg (which I am eating right now) or a Primal Pac. Both are easy to pack and pretty filling (no tupperware)

4) What has been the biggest and/or hardest change for you?


Hanging out w/ people who aren't on the diet. Luckily, a couple of my friends and study partners are doing the challenge, and they have helped me out a lot in not providing temptations or sharing food. If hanging out or eating with people I come full or bring a dish I can eat, so my blood sugar doesn't drop.

5) Do you feel any different? If so, how?

Well... The first half of the week I felt sluggish, but now I am pretty much back to a good energy level. I also don't know if this is possible, but some sweet stuff that looked good to me last week does not seem as tempting now.

Congratulations Rebecca! And to the rest of you challengers keep on keepin' on! There are six weeks left, with a new winner each week.

Are you next?
