The 28 Day Challenge
The 28 Day Challenge is a four-week meal program designed by us to help you develop healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime. Each week, we provide you with five days of food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) and instructions for the other two days. Over four weeks, you will actively learn how to make healthy choices during the challenge and beyond.
​
We designed our challenge around three principles: circadian rhythm fasting, restoration of healthy digestion, and mindful eating practices. Every week of the challenge has a different focus to help you achieve lifelong results.
​
It takes 28 days to break a habit. It's time to stop dieting and start eating again!
the 3 principles
of our 28 Day Challenge
Structured eating provides a range of benefits, and we use the 12/12 fasting cycle (also known as circadian rhythm or intermittent fasting). Food can only be consumed within a 12 hour period (ex. 7:00 am to 7:00 pm), followed by a fast for twelve hours.
Intermittent fasting can:
-
Increase metabolism
-
Improve brain function
-
Promote blood sugar control
-
Reduce inflammation
-
May improve heart health and reduce cholesterol
-
Increases HGH; this aids in weight loss and increasing muscle strength
-
Aids in preventing cancer and improving effectiveness of chemotherapy
-
Delays aging and increases longevity

Restoring
Healthy Digestion
We face a daily onslaught of diet information that is often skewed and inaccurate. When it comes to eating, humans are not a one size fits all. It is exceedingly valuable to learn how to listen to your body and how to make healthy choices that work for you. We will teach you how to eat mindfully for a lifetime; we will not tell you how to follow a specific diet. We make choices clear, not confusing.
​
You will learn:
-
Easy to follow guidelines
-
Simple ways of structuring your meals
-
How to develop your palate
-
Eating is not a math equation; calories are not the focus
-
All food is not alike; knowing the source is very important

the 28 day challenge
Week 1: Detox
The first week is a five day controlled fast full of super digestion-friendly food to support the body as it transitions from processed dishes. This will clean out your system and reduced cravings. It's a vacation for your digestion!
Week 2: Reset
With detoxing complete, you're ready to reset your body. This week focuses on the gentle reintroduction of proteins while boosting your digestive system to absorb more nutrients.
Week 3: Balance
This week is delectable: it's all about balance!
We balance out the diet by adding superfoods and increase the flavor profile of our dishes. This stimulates the appetite for a more refined palette, which will decrease the desire for the overly salty and overly sugary flavors of processed foods.
Week 4: Energize
The final week of the challenge is all about moving forward into maintenance. Notice how you feel after eating. These five days of real food dishes provide meals that energize, heal, and satisfy. Now you're ready to make healthy food choices on your own!
​
What is real food? Dishes that are created from fresh whole ingredients, and the story behind those ingredients connects back to the earth — not to factory raised/grown food.
