Drop the Diet 5 Day Free Challenge

I’ve tried them ALL over the years – and even a few that I created myself.  Then I failed them ALL over the years.

Constantly being on a different diet was how I lived my life from the time I realized that I was overweight as a young teenager, through pharmacy school and through the first seven years of my career.  Always on a diet, always restricting myself, always feeling deprived, always struggling with my weight.

I remember how bad the feelings of being deprived were.  The feelings of not being able to eat this or have that.  Those feelings are awful.  Those feelings bring on more unhealthy habits and more desperate attempts.

Diets.

They don’t work.

They don’t last.

They don’t bring us long term results.

What they do is set us up to fail.

During this Drop the Diet 5 Day Free Challenge, I’m not holding back with the truth about diets, quick fixes and unhelpful fads.

I’m going to share with you why diets do not work.  Then I’m going to share with you exactly what does work to help you see lasting results with your health and fitness. 

After this 5 day challenge, you will have tools to finally begin giving up dieting once and for all.

Here’s what we will be taking about during this Drop the Diet 5 Day Free Challenge:

Day 1 – Why diets do not work. 

    How to stop the rollercoaster.

    How to begin doing what actually does work.

Day 2 – How to eat intentionally.

    How to make clean eating part of your lifestyle by understanding

    exactly what clean eating is.

Day 3 – How to begin clean eating.

              How to begin making nutritional changes that will last a lifetime.

Day 4 – Strategies for eating out and staying healthy.

              How to interpret nutrition labels and exactly what to look for.

Day 5 – How to use exercise to your advantage for maximum results.

Exercise vs. Nutrition

Exercise vs. Nutrition

Which is really most important?
Which will bring us the most results?
Can't we just work off the calories that we eat with a good workout?

Living off 100 calorie packs, sweet tea, candy and coffee drinks was exactly how I started my career as a Pharmacist.  These were the foods that gave me the sugar rush, gave me a short burst of energy and helped me get through long work shifts.

Back then I could eat almost anything that I wanted and exercise enough to burn it off...or so I thought.

Why I'm Not as Healthy as I Should Be and What I'm Doing About It

This video is the hardest video I've ever recorded!  I'm being completely honest and open with you.

I'm a little scared to admit the things I talk about during this video - but it's time to be honest. 

TODAY I'm sharing WHY and exactly WHAT I'm doing about it.

Ditch the Junk 5 Day Challenge

EAT ALL THE CARBS!?!?  

I know, this advice is a little strange!  Follow me for a second here, I’ll connect this to DITCHING THE JUNK CHALLENGE, I promise.

Eating all the carbs is totally against all that I’ve been working towards over the last couple of months.  I’ve been very diligent about eliminating almost all processed foods, including wheat and gluten because of results from a food sensitivities test.  

So, when my doctor told me that I need to eat wheat and foods that contain gluten for 2 weeks, I was literally MAD and frustrated all at the same time.  But, this advice is for a good reason, I’m having some blood work done next week and need to have gluten in my system for accurate results.

HERE’S THE PROBLEM that I have with eating breads and wheat products – it just causes me to CRAVE ALL THE SUGAR!!

Can you relate to the sugar cravings and the carb cravings??  Trust me, I KNOW what you’re feeling!

Next week, I’m creating a game plan for myself to help me when it’s time to stop eating the breads!  

It’s going to be a challenge BUT having a plan in place and SUPPORT around me will make it much easier.

During our Ditch the Junk 5 Day Challenge we will discuss:

1. Why we CRAVE carbs and what we can do about it.

2. The EFFECTS of not-so-healthy carbs on our body and mind.

3. Healthy food swaps to help us ditch the junk food cravings.

4. How exercise impacts sugar cravings.

5. How support and accountability WILL help you DITCH the JUNK once and for all!

This challenge will be happening inside my closed Facebook Community, the Empowered Intentionally Community.  

Here’s what you’ll need to do to join us.
