Does Your Diet Need A Makeover?

Its time…

The purpose of the SPARTAFIT 6 Week challenge is to get you into healthy eating habits by encouraging you to cook and consume nutritious yet delicious whole foods. It is also an excellent excuse to remove all the naughty treats such as chocolates, lollies or biscuits which you have sitting in your pantry.

Let’s be honest. Anything processed with a long list of ingredients you can’t even pronounce and a 5+ years ‘use by’ date cannot be too good for you, can it? So get rid of it.

Having a good base in your pantry will make your life much easier as well as prevent you from snacking on unhealthy foods.

Lets join us on your Diet Makeover?
