We have 15 different types of meal plans. We don’t encourage you to strictly follow each meal plan as that’s not sustainable but rather use them as a guide. 

Who does? We don’t encourage people to give up what they love. Instead we will teach you to set up your home environment for weight loss success. Then, when you’re out, you can still enjoy those treats you love.

It’s like everything, what you put in, is what you will receive. If you watch the online course, participate in the Facebook group then the side effect will be weight loss.

If over the warm up week from 6 Feb, you decide that this is not for you, we will refund your money 100%. Once the health challenge starts after Monday 15 Feb we cannot offer a refund.

Yes it does. You need to complete a body scan at our clinics in Yeppoon, Rockhampton, Emerald, Mackay, Gladstone or Gold Coast to be eligible for the cash prizes. Body scans need to be exactly 4 weeks apart. 

Yes, the standard health challenge that most people think about are typically run through gyms; the Scood $50K Health Challenge is not your standard health challenge though. We had developed an online course that provided nutrition education in much greater detail, our challenge was to entice people into doing the course, hence the challenge idea developed.

We developed the online weight-loss course because it provides bite sized chunks of information that people could access at their own pace in their own home. This way people did not have to sit opposite a dietitian and try and absorb all the information at once.

Well firstly we have about 20 meal plans to guide people. We also cover the basics of weight loss. Now this may sound boring, however what it does is help people decipher fact from fiction when they hear about the latest fad that comes along. Understanding these basics is crucial to long-term weight loss. We also go through the difference between hunger and appetite and how to control them. We give people an understanding of the best exercise for fat loss and had to match that with the right diet. We educate people around metabolism and what it is. We focus heavily on sleep and the importance of sleep for long term weight loss. We discuss the behaviours proven through the research to achieve long term weight maintenance.

It is in video format people can watch on their mobile device, and most of the videos only go for five minutes so it's really easy to understand information.

This is the marketing side of the challenge. To get people to do our online course we needed a big headline and $50,000 in prize money is just that.

We split it into gender so male and female winners. The top male and female each receive $10,000. 2nd place male and female receive $3000. 3rd place male and female each receive $2000. The remaining top 20 male and females each receive $500. This totals $50,000.

We determine the winner using our in body 570’s. These are body composition analysers. The InBodys can determine not just weight loss, but how much of that weight was fat, muscle, water, and even from which parts of the body these tissue changes are observed. The formula we use to determine the winner is an InBody international formula. It is the most accurate way of determining the winner and puts everyone on an even playing field as best as possible.
