Go vegan

Cut out all animal proteins

That's it. That's the challenge. Simple. Go seven days without consuming any meat, fish, eggs or dairy.

You could even go one step further and take on Veganuary, meaning cutting out all animal proteins for the rest of January.

Who knows, maybe you'll stick with your new plant-based diet in the long-run. If you do, you'll be in good company. The growing list of elite athletes who have made the switch include Unity co-founder Mathieu Flamini, F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, NFL superstar Tom Brady, and tennis legends; the Williams sisters.
