Announcement: The 2011 Primal Blueprint 30-Day Challenge Begins September 12
Who’s up for a challenge? I hope all of you are ready to get Primal because it’s that time of year again. Next Monday, September 12, marks the first the day of this year’s annual Primal Blueprint 30-Day Challenge!
If you are a longtime reader you know what to expect: 30 days of contests, prizes, reader-created content, feature articles and motivation to help you get and stay Primal for life. The format may change a little this year, but the results won’t. So start gearing up for the festivities. It’s going to be a fun ride.
Hey, did I mention there will be Primal prizes? Thousands of dollars of Primal food, fitness gear and gadgets will be given away to MDA readers. And since I hate to make you wait, see below for today’s pre-challenge contest courtesy of U.S. Wellness.
But first, some details: You don’t have to sign-up to take part in the challenge. Everyone is welcome. Just like last year here are a few things you can do to prepare…
How to Prepare for the Challenge
1. Commit to change: Make the decision right now to make this 30-Day Challenge your jumping off point for lifelong health and well-being. The MDA community and I will be right there with you – with support and encouragement – as we collectively attempt to do right by our genes and live the healthiest, happiest lives with the least amount of pain, suffering and sacrifice possible.
2. Set an alarm: You won’t want to miss a single day of the action, so set a reminder to visit MDA each day. Some contests will have short deadlines, so if you want to enter show up early and often.
3. Gather equipment: While some contests will be as simple as leaving a comment, others will require a bit of legwork. Have your cameras locked and loaded. Borrow a camcorder. And if you want to win this year’s grand prize, you’ll need to either have or make some friends. Speaking of which…
4. Organize your friends and family: Rally your coworkers, and tell your friends and relatives. Use this event as a way of coaxing stubborn Aunt Bess to finally give up the diet RC Cola and SlimFast bars and start enjoying real food. And for an easy way to spread the word…
5. Grab the 30-Day Challenge flyer and pass it on to friends: Download the 30-Day Challenge flyer here. Keep it handy for a constant reminder of the challenge details. Email it to your entire email address book (people love that). And maybe print out a couple hundred of them and clandestinely lay them around the office at opportune moments.
6. Grab a free copy of Primal Blueprint Fitness: Part of the challenge will involve you moving like Grok all month long. If you haven’t already grabbed a copy of PBF do so now.
7. Grab your own Primal Leap kit: There is no better time than now to take control of your health and start living Primally. While the 30-Day Challenge will provide daily motivation and tips to help kick start your Primal life, The Primal Leap provides step-by-step guidance, one-on-one support, guaranteed success and much, much more. There’s still time to get your Primal Leap kit in time for the Challenge, so order today.
P.S. You have the option to receive either The Primal Blueprint and The Primal Blueprint Cookbook or the Primal Essentials Kit with your Primal Leap package. If you already own the books you can opt for the latter package. Call 888-774-6259 (or 310-317-4414) and we’ll set you all up.

I’m down for this like the food that went down into my belly for lunch: chicken, 2 hard boiled eggs, banana and orange bell pepper, almonds and walnuts, with water!
I have been stuck in a rut for a long time and needed a jump start…I’m ready!!
I’m in! AND I’m stoked!
I’m In…Should be easy enough for me as have been mostly primal for years…Adding sprints once a week will be my challange (and desperately staying out of my husbands cookie jar no matter what)
I started on Tuesday, so it is day three of my primal challenge. I am pretty familiar with this lifestyle, but clearly have lots to learn! A personal challenge for me is to get a whole lot more raw vegetables into my life AND to eat healthy during the day. We just about always have good food choices available at home, but I generally take the easy way out — meaning I reach for something that doesn’t require me to cut up anything or cook. Today I have a gorgeous salad in front of me as I write this. Organic baby lettuce, celery, red bell pepper, tomatoes and a couple of hard boiled eggs. My goal is go create salads with lots of color! Kind of the opposite of a brown chocolate chip cookie.
I’m off to finish my lunch!
I tried subscribing to the newsletter but haven’t recieved a confirmation email. Neither my email, Spam or trash folders have it, either. I’m really looking forward to recieving them.
Wow!This is awesome! Very lifting and needed.Thanks Mark!
