800g Challenge-DeNovo Team Edition
You’ve likely been hearing us talk about the 800 gram challenge that’s coming in January. What you may not know, is that many of the DeNovo team members have been going through this challenge already in 2025. This is important so we can educate ourselves and all of you on the process and value of the challenge, and also practice what we preach 😎
Here is what some of the team going through the challenge right now have to say:
🍎“At first, hitting 800g felt challenging but, once I started meal prepping at the beginning of the week, it became much more manageable. I love that it’s realistic and not all-or-nothing so it doesn’t feel like something you’ll burn out on.” - Coach Rhyan
🥑“The app is very easy to use and makes tracking fruits and veggies simple and quick, with out without a food scale. I am loving the short educational pieces and the visual for my progress each day.” - Coach Jorine
🫐“When I focus on counting my 800g, or 6 cups, it doesn’t feel hard because I’m adding vareity and more yummy foods, rather than taking away from my diet. I’m more satiated, my plate is more colorful, and it’s fun to find new fruits and veggies to cycle into the mix. I like that this method focuses on one doable thing at a time.” - Coach Stef
🥕“I started using the app just after Labor Day and have had the opportunity to go through all three pillars; now I’m back on the first pillar (800g). My experience has been really positive due to the insanely simple approach - not only for what the goals of each pillar are, but how the app is designed. What I love about the app, and specifically the 800g challenge, is how much better I feel; not only my energy levels and workouts, but my overall mood as well. I also love the accountability aspect of the app and doing it with other people. I was doing this on my own for a while but, when all the other coaches joined in, I found myself more motivated. The educational content each day is such an amazing value add, and I learn something from it even when listening to it a second time. I definitely plan to go through these pillars multiple times in 2026!” - Owner/Coach Jenny
🥬“I thought I had been eating enough fruits and veggies throughout the day so it was eye-opening to start tracking again (and the tracking aspect of the app is so simple to use!). I found that I had to work my way up to 800g a day, which is okay. Once I started hitting that goal, I realized that I had learned simple strategies to help with being consistent in getting 800g. Little things like portioning out veggies for easy grab-and-go snacks, and also from the educational content within the app. I’m excited to go through the challenge again with more members of our community; I can see the value of doing this multiple times. I love the flexibility of the 800g challenge as well - eat the fruits and veggies that you like - that’s really it!” - Coach Liz
🍊“Getting 800g each day is challenging but not impossible. It just takes some planning and preparation! I really enjoy the app and how easy it is to use. I also enjoy the vareity of fruits and veggies I’ve been having.” - Owner/Jack of all Trades Drew
The DeNovo team is going through this challenge because we believe in it and have now experienced the benefits first-hand. The team is excited to start the challenge with the DeNovo community on January 5 so we can all get better at life together!
