1. Is this a diet plan?

No, this is not keto or paleo and we don’t cut out any food groups, including alcohol (which I count as a food group!) We don’t even touch counting calories. This is a strategic eating plan, where we’ll put just as much focus on how we eat as what we eat. You’re going to gain a deep understanding of how food and our gut, hormones, and even our mindset, are intimately entwined and how to basically hack these systems for success. 

2. I can’t make it to the live Q&A's, will I be missing out?

All the Q&A's will be recorded, and you are free to watch them on your own time. All the class materials, including the live elements and workouts, will be in your Membership Area, which you will have lifetime access to. 

3.  What’s my grocery bill going to look like, and will I have to purchase special or expensive supplements?

First off, real food, not supplements, is the priority in achieving results and optimizing health. In some cases, supplements can be beneficial and I give you a Supplement Guide that can help you make educated choices, but they are not necessary nor first in line for your success. You’ll also receive my Favorite Foods shopping list, where I give you the Whole Foods option and the Trader Joes option so you can choose what best fits your budget. Otherwise, we are sticking to whole foods which usually are far less expensive than purchasing tons of processed items!

4. Give me the lowdown on the workouts.

Each week you will receive 2 Strength and 2 HIIT (16 in total!) workouts alongside a calendar of what to do on the days outside of those workouts. We build lean muscle and incorporate metabolic conditioning for maximum fat loss benefits. We begin with foundations and progressively build over the month. Every workout is full body, with varying emphasis on different muscle groups.

5. What equipment will I need?

These workouts are built for home and require a very basic setup. You will want to have 3 sets of weights (light, moderate and heavy) anything between 3-15 pounds depending on your fitness level, a couple of mini bands, a mat, and a sturdy chair or bench. Don’t let the simple setup fool you, we get creative as heck with it! 

6. I like food! I live for a Saturday night dinner out, enjoy meals with friends and family, and am in a love affair with cheese. Will this put a total damper on my life?

No, because you will train your body how to handle these situations! You’ll be able to enjoy a piece of cake without having it wreck your goals because your metabolism will understand how to behave, like a polite child. And if you feel like anything is an issue, I am equipping you with so many strategies and tips, you’ll be able to take care of it lickety-split!

7. I haven’t worked out lately. I’m a little scared of the fitness piece. Can I still do this program?

Absolutely! The workouts are designed to be all-levels, but they are not for an absolute beginner who has never had fitness a part of their life. Before the workouts even begin, you will receive a video training that gives an overview of correct form and best practices so you can start the workouts right away, with a refresher on the basics that will ensure you stay injury-free and able to progress throughout the month. These workouts are the bomb BUT, you will get SO MUCH VALUE in this program outside of the workouts that if you choose to skip them, you will still see major change! I only ask that you get some sort of daily movement in for optimal health. 

8.  I’m not a Facebook person, will I be missing out on important information? 

All the important trainings, workouts and class materials will be in the Membership area, where you have lifetime access. We also have weekly Q&A huddles, where you can come ask questions outside of the Facebook group. The Facebook community is available for support, feedback, and accountability - it is always there for you, but you don’t have to join. Alternatively, you can make a fake profile to join just for the 4 weeks. 

9.  I’ve got a lot going on… is the program a big time commitment?

You can absolutely fit this in your life! Each week will consist of an hour-long Live Zoom Training, 4 workouts that average in time of 30-40 minutes, and, depending on the week, 1-3 additional video modules that range from 5-10 minutes. Also, plan for the weekly trip to the grocery store! For a small time commitment, the rewards are HUGE! 

10. I love my glass of wine at night… will I have to quit drinking?

Um, no, can I join you?? Unless you’re going way overboard, alcohol is not holding you back from your fat loss and fitness goals. This program is NOT about being restrictive - we all want to enjoy our lives! If wine is part of your life, it stays part of your life. I’ll give you some of my favorite go-to options for alcohol so you can keep on cheers-ing and reach your goals. 

11. Be real - will this program really get me to my fat loss goals in 4 weeks?

You might knock this out of the park in 4 weeks and you might not. Everyone’s body is different and depending on what your goals are, it might take longer. Here’s the thing - finish lines move because a lot of factors are in play. You might run across your finish line and decide you want to set a new PR! I can promise you this… every day you will progress, get fitter, feel better and be smashing meaningful mini records right and left. Those are going to build upon themselves, and you will reach that finish line. And you might find you want to set the bar even higher - that’s what it’s all about, keep striving!

12. What happens once the program is over?

Since you have lifetime access to the information and the workouts, you can keep on going! Keep doing the workouts, get stronger and fitter! Try incorporating some new strategies you learned into your routine. You have all the tools you need; your body has undergone a transformation. Keep being curious and fine-tuning what works best for you!
