Sugar Bust is a 31-day individual nutrition challenge that helps participants build healthier routines through mindful food choices, simple meal planning, and regular physical activity.

Sugar Bust combines nutrition habits with movement-based activities, so participants can earn points for both healthier food choices and staying active. This makes the challenge feel more balanced and flexible than a food-focused challenge alone.

Eligible activities may include cutting out sugary beverages, cooking healthy meals at home, avoiding fast food, making grocery lists, swapping sugary foods, walking, running, hiking, bicycling, and elliptical workouts.

The challenge encourages small, realistic behavior changes like replacing sugary drinks, choosing better snack options, planning meals ahead, and building more awareness around everyday food choices.

Movement-based activities, such as walking, running, hiking, bicycling, and elliptical workouts, can be tracked through synced fitness devices or manual entry.

Sugar Bust is an individual challenge. Participants work toward their own point total, with progress reflected on an individual leaderboard.

Sugar Bust is a strong fit for organizations that want to support healthier eating habits in an approachable way. It works especially well for groups focused on nutrition, reducing sugary drinks, meal planning, home cooking, movement, and gradual behavior change.
