The 800 Gram Challenge is a tool to guide healthy eating, a way to encourage getting quality nutrients, and, according to the website, "is a simple method to make sure you hit a healthy daily dose of fruits and veggies."
You aim to eat 800 grams of fruits and/or vegetables, by weight, a day. What's great is that no foods are restricted during the challenge. You continue to eat whatever else you want, just making sure you get your 800 grams a day. And yes, it's OK to eat more than 800 grams if you choose.
The challenge lasts as long as you want it to, or as long as it brings value to your life. You can choose to do it for two weeks, one month, or every day for the rest of your life.
