The 8020 approach to flexible dieting changed my life. Now it's time for my 28 Day Challenge to change yours. Sign up now to secure a spot!

Expect a huge improvement in diet quality, a reduction in ‘head noise’ around dieting and fat loss, and a non-restrictive approach that works for ALL dietary preferences. It’s time to stop the yo-yo and get results.

Runs for 28 days from 3rd Jun - 30th June.

You’ll be granted access to the challenge document on Saturday 1st June to shop and prep!

The 8020 Challenge:

You will never diet again. We've blamed ourselves for lack of discipline. That didn't help. We've blamed calories, carbs, and fat. That didn't help. Nearly all diets are ineffective because they're based on restriction of your favourite foods. The 8020 Philosophy is here to change all of that. No food is off-limits, merely portion controlled, so you can stop fighting your own brain and biology. 

The brain resists dramatic behavioural shifts. Whilst I give you guidance on which macronutrients are important for optimal health, you have complete freedom to choose your favourite foods (and treats!) so that this approach naturally blends with your normal eating habits. It's simply you, optimised.

Some of the member's creations from March's Challenge are shown here -  shared from the community chat.

Who is it for?

My 28 Day Challenge is made for all women, of all walks of life and career. Everyone can benefit from being surrounded by a like-minded community who are dialling in their nutrition for the next 28 Days. 

All dietary restrictions are catered for, but my plant-based friends may find this trickier to hit their protein targets given whole foods are the focus.

What is the duration of the program?

You'll receive your Day 1 package on Saturday, 1st June (be sure to check your junk!) and the challenge will run for 28 days starting Monday, 3rd June 2024.

Are workouts included?

No. No workouts are included in this challenge as we’re dialling in nutrition, however, getting 8-10k steps a day will only expedite your results!
