Deep dives
Master of Your Domain Challenge: No Sugar
In the upcoming Master of Your Domain challenge, participants will abstain from consuming added sugar and carb-heavy foods for the entire month. This includes avoiding fruits that contain high levels of natural sugars. Alcohol and any marinated foods are also off-limits during the challenge. Participants will aim for an honor system, with the goal of experiencing physical and mental benefits from cutting out sugar and carbs. The challenge will serve as a tradition, with potential for it to extend beyond a month if participants choose to continue. The focus is on bragging rights and personal accomplishment rather than monetary rewards.
Participants and Rules
The current participants include Dave Chang, Chris Ying, Noel, Kelly Mino, Van Lathan, and Victoria. They have committed to following the no sugar and carb rules for the duration of the challenge. The rules state that no added sugar is allowed, as well as any foods that can be directly converted to sugar, such as carbs. This excludes most fruits, alcohol, and marinated foods. However, some fruits, like tart berries, may be consumed in moderation. Grains such as quinoa, bulgur wheat, farro, and pearl barley are allowed. The challenge relies on an honor system, but filming or preparation for filming situations may constitute exceptions, with participants still practicing moderation in those scenarios.
Dave and Chris kick off the new year by reflecting on 2023’s New Year’s resolutions, setting some new goals for the coming year, and giving some clarifications on the Master of Your Domain challenge.
