You’ve landed at the 7 Day Cereal Challenge hub so you can learn how you can do it yourself! Some may think it’s crazy but some of you are going to accept this challenge. Here is all you need to know about the Cereal Challenge:
Cereal Challenge Info:
What: Only eat cereal and milk for 7 days straight (21 straight meals and unlimited snacking sessions)
When: This first challenge occurs January 23rd – January 30th 2023
Why: Test the body and mind’s ability to survive on just cereal and milk. I always answered “cereal” when asked what food I would choose if I was on a deserted island and could only choose. Lucky Charms was often brand chosen if pressed for more details. The further “why” is also – Can I eat only cereal and milk and still like it? Time will tell.
How: I am operating this challenge with the rules recorded below. I’ve roped out my schedule to have this challenge during a week that didn’t involve traveling, important meals (anniversaries, birthdays, etc), and communicated to those I will associate with that I have committed to this challenge. This is all necessary to not fall into a spot where you compromise the challenge.
Cereal Challenge Rules:
- Cereal and Milk for 7 days (21 straight meals)
- Cereal is defined by boxed or bagged corn, rice, or wheat cereal. This does not include granola, mueslis, or other variations. Protein or other vitamin enriched cereals are acceptable.
- Milk is defined as dairy from a cow. This excludes oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or other variations. Chocolate, protein or other enriched milks are acceptable as long as they are considered true dairy products. Yogurts are not accepted.
- No limit on cereal within the 7 days. The challenger is free to eat more meals than 21 if necessary. Unlimited bowls of cereal and milk accepted. This is not a diet to reduce consumption.
- Snack sessions must consist of cereal and milk. No other foods should be introduced during snack sessions.
- No additives. No adding fruit, protein powder, meats, veggies, or other items not found within the box or bag of cereal.
- Mixing cereals and milks is acceptable as long as it does not involve introducing foreign foods.
- Does not need to be eaten with a bowl and spoon. For example, cereal can be consumed by the handful and milk can be consumed from the glass, carton, or other drinking vessel.
- Any flavor or brand of cereal is possible at each meal time. It is not necessary to eat a different type of cereal for each meal or snack session.
- The required metrics that will tracked include: volume of cereal, volume of milk, daily weight amount (taken in the morning without clothes), glucose levels (before breakfast, before lunch, and before bed).
