CU Well March Challenge
Free From Fried Foods
Show these fried foods who’s boss
Put down those French fries! If you want to lose weight and feel healthier, then it’s time to stop eating fried foods. It’s true that some fats are healthy — like the ones found in avocados, nuts, and fish — but fried foods are loaded with bad fats that can cause serious health issues. We can’t have that. Break those chains and free yourself today.*
Sign-up: 3/23/20—4/6/20 Challenge runs: 3/30/20–4/27/20
How it Works:
Award yourself one challenge point for each day you don’t eat any fried foods.
The goal: reach 20 challenge points to earn 15 wellness program points.
