How much sugar do you consume? The easy answer: too much! Now's your chance to see just how sugar-packed your diet is, and experience life without it for a while. Well, without most of it anyway.
The Showdown is on! Win Prizes!
Day #1 is orientation: watch a video, plan your strategy, "meet" your fellow Sugar Shakers, all in the ethereal confines of cyberspace.
Day #2-13 and the Showdown is on! Your goal is to limit your sugar intake (and eliminate sugar substitutes), and earn valuable points for your choices. Each day you'll record the following:
- Grams of sugar from whole fruit
- Grams of sugar NOT from whole fruit
- Number of times you consumed a sugar substitute
We'll add your grams of sugar not from fruit and half your grams of sugar from fruit to determine your total Sugar Showdown Grams (SSG). You'll earn (or lose) valuable points as follows:
- SSG < 25: +10 points
- 25 < SSG < 35: +5 ponts
- Sugar substitute servings: -5 per serving
- No entries for the day: -5 points
- Fail to watch an online video module: -5
- Post a (meaningful) comment on the Blitz: +2 (max 4 points per day)
- Post a (relevant) response to a Blitz comment: +1 (max 4 points per day)
We'll tabulate scores at (or after) noon on the following day. If you enter or change your numbers after that, they will not affect your score, so be sure to get your numbers in on time! We'll keep a running score so you can see where you stand every day throughout the Showdown.
Day #14 is when we'll do the final tabulations and announce the Showdown winner! (That would be the participant with the most points. Just in case that wasn't clear.) PLUS: there will be one randomly selected winner of a consolation prize! The showdown winner is not eligible. The runner-up will get three entries, the third-place finisher will get two entries, and everyone else will get one entry. Sensei Hutch of 7 Tigers Martial Arts will draw the winner. (If you have a problem with the result, take it up with him. And good luck with that.)
(Prizes will be revealed soon!)

Registration Closed
You don't need to be a StrongFast Fitness member to enter (although you should be one… you know that, right?). You don't even need to be local: the Showdown takes place entirely online. You will need a blitzometer.com account, since StrongFast uses it for tracking and scheduling pretty much everything. Joining blitzometer is free and easy: you don't need to provide any personal information, just a valid email address. (And since StrongFast operates blitzometer, it's not like you're giving it to a third party.)
Even if you don't think you can win first prize, it's still worth entering just to see how much sugar you're really consuming. The best prize of all will be changing the way you eat (and feel) forever! Plus, you'll still be eligible to win the consolation prize drawing!
