The Primal Blueprint Health Challenge
If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, reduce stress, increase energy or just generally look, live and feel healthier you’ve come to the right place! Oh, and you can win lots of cool Primal gear, too.
Watch the following video and read the article below for all the details.
Create Your Own 30-Day Health Challenge
This is your first task. It’s time for you to define and commit to your own 30-day challenge.
I’ve created a special forum for The Primal Blueprint Health Challenge. In it you can state your personal 30-day challenge and start a “Primal Challenge Journal” to track your progress.
Use the Primal Blueprint Health Challenge forum to receive positive feedback, advice and help along the way from myself and the Mark’s Daily Apple community.
The Primal Blueprint 101 Newsletter
I’ve created a special newsletter just for this health challenge – The Primal Blueprint 101 Newsletter. If you’re new to the Primal Blueprint or would just like a comprehensive overview of the Primal Blueprint health philosophy visit this page and begin receiving it today.
Daily Contests
The main challenge itself isn’t competitive but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some friendly contests along they way!
Over the course of the next month Mark’s Daily Apple, Primal Nutrition and sponsors will be giving away over $6,000 in prizes.
Here are some rules and answers to FAQ:
- Contests will run every day for the duration of the 30-day challenge (through Sep. 1), so check back daily!
- All contest prizes relate in some way to the Primal lifestyle.
- Some contests will require a bit of leg work while others will require something as simple as commenting on a blog post.
- There is no limit to how many contests you can participate in.
- The duration of any one contest depends on the nature of the contest. Some will last the full 30 days (to give you time to complete the contest task) while others will be as short as 1 day.
- Contest prizes will be awarded either by a random drawing, by reader voting/polling or by an executive decision (who I think should win!).
- Some prizes will only be available to United States residents.
- You can track the contests and contest results on the Primal Blueprint Health Challenge Contest Page. It will be updated every day.
- I’m not being paid by any company that is sponsoring the contest with a prize.
All you have to do to enter today’s contest is leave a comment on this blog post. For all the details visit Contest: Leave a Comment. Win Some Beef.

Recently slid off the primal wagon. This 30-day challenge and the possibility of steak is all I need to get me back on track!
Can I substitute a big ‘ole slab of Tofu when I win?
I can’t wait to see the rest of the challenges. I’m only a month in on the PB myself and I’ve already seen dramatic improvements in my health and energy! It’s amazing to be able to live again. Thanks Mark!
Holy cow! What a great prize to start the challenge!
This is the kickstart I needed!
Sounds great!
I’ve decided it’s time to go 100% primal.
Hooray beef!!
I’m starting my challenge tomorrow as I just got out of the ER this morning for a ridiculous amount of poison sumac (I got a little too primal in the woods).
I’m stocked full of steroids, antibiotics and all kinds of non-primal crap.
where’s the beef?
I would like some steak!
Yummers! Steaks!!!
Winning some beef sure would be a nice way to begin the challenge. I can barely afford rent right now, let alone grass-fed beef.
I’ve been trolling this blog for about 90 days. A challenge is a great way to get motivated and get primal
mmm..beef. Looking forward to the challenges, Mark.
Thanks for the contest and the always fantastic articles, Mark!
This beef sounds fantatstic! Hope I win and can chow down, and convince my family of the benefits of paying a bit more for good good GOOD meat!
since PRIMAL im a NEW person
thank GOD for PALEO!
I finished the Primal Blueprint a few days ago. Great timing on the challenge!
Thanks Mark! Looking forward to the challenge.
Steak! What a perfect incentive to post
Good luck to all in the Challenge!
Those steaks look tasty! Just one more thing to help me with this challenge. Thanks to both you guys!
I’m in for some red meat
This is one of the best sites on the net. Mark your dedication to keep putting in all these hours to get your message out really speaks about how strongly you believe in your message (I do too, BTW), and that’s refreshing to see. Great idea with the contest(s) too!
Oooh, that beef looks good!
I look forward to checking out the board and seeing what people’s goals for the month are. Mine are nebulous so far: ‘do better’ is as far as I’ve gotten.
yes please!
Mmmmmmm beef.
I want in on this, is there a forum where u can upload pictures and let people track your progress?
This is going to be fun. Nothing like some grass fed beef to start my challenge. After work today, I’m heading out for a hike with the kids — can you say waterfalls and cliffs in Louisiana? Yep, it’s true or as my 15-yr old would say: It’s legit!
I like to pretend that all the steak I eat is from grass-fed cows, but I wouldn’t mind putting the delusion aside and having some actual grass-fed beef.
I love challenges. Hopefully I can learn something new everyday!!
