10 Day Intermittent Fasting Challenge - Purposeful Nutrition: Healing With Food.

Image Credit: https://traineracademy.org/blog/

Have you ever tried to lose weight without success? Are you tired of feeling bloated and having low energy? Do you have high insulin levels? (Or might you have high insulin levels, but you have no idea about what that is and why it matters?)

I struggled with 50 extra pounds for the past 19 years (since my first pregnancy). With the practice of intermittent fasting and a change to a low carb, high fat diet I have lost 40 lbs in 2016, lost 5 more in 2017, and perhaps more significant, I have kept it off and lowered my insulin resistance.

Next Fasting Challenge

I now host an ongoing challenge, which you can join at any time. Sign up and go through the 10 days. If you want to redo the challenge at any time, you may sign up and go through it again. Join me for 10 days of intermittent fasting to lower your insulin resistance and improve your health.

I will be fasting one 24 hour day each week (supper to supper) and at least two 18 hour day (supper to lunch) each week. If you have never fasted before I recommend starting off with 14-16 hour fasts. But there is not one schedule so you will be able to figure out something that works for you over those 10 days.

This challenge will give you support and information, so you can conduct your fast in a healthy and effective manner. You will learn the following:

how to fast
how to deal with hunger cravings.
the relationship of fat to successful fasting
the relationship of insulin resistance to fasting
the effects of fasting on your metabolism

This is not for everyone. If you are pregnant, nursing a child, 18 or younger, or underweight you should not be in this group. If you take medications and especially if you are on insulin, you need to check with your medical doctor before taking this challenge.

Who should join me:

those who struggle with their weight
those who are experiencing insulin resistance
those who want to lose weight and feel great

As a RN I am aware of some of the possible medical challenges and potential problems that can come up when you fast and will be applying and sharing my knowledge with you. I am not a medical doctor and will not be responsible for your health care.

Sign up here to join the free fasting challenge. You will receive a series of emails over the next 10-14 days with information about fasting and some challenges that may come up with it. Even if you are already a subscriber to my blog, you need to sign up for this special list.

I am also offering the opportunity to any women who do this challenge to join my free private Facebook group for extra and ongoing support. This group support can go as long as you like after the 10 day fasting challenge. To join the Facebook group, you can click on this link and request admission to the group.

Testimonials:

“I’ve tried intermittent fasting in the past and wanted to try again, so when Jennifer posted about her challenge I jumped on board. I was looking for accountability and also guidance from someone who had more experience. Knowing that Jennifer is a registered nurse also was a bonus as she has training to recognize problematic symptoms and I felt more confident trying intermittent fasting again knowing she was an email away. The information she shares has been both helpful and informative. I especially liked the discussion about blood sugar levels. Thank you for offering this free challenge. ~Starlene, GAPS Diet Journey”

“I want to thank you for introducing me and my husband to the
practice of Intermittent Fasting. We are in our late
40’s and would both do well to lose at least 50 lbs. We
have done a Low Carb plan in the past and were both very
successful, however, life moved on and habits slowly reverted back to careless eating.
When you recommended the Intermittent Fast, coupled with a
Low Carb/High Fat diet, you piqued my curiosity. I did as
much reading as I could find and decided we would give it a
shot. I have to say it is just SO EASY! I cannot believe
how easy we each have found it to eat a regular dinner, sleep, wake up and have a cup of coffee and wait until noon to eat. We even go to
the gym first thing in the mornings, and we’re just fine
until lunch.
After the first month, he was down 7 lbs and I was down 5.
What a Wonderful Way to start the new year. I have shared
with several of my friends and they are on board now, as
well. Love that!
I really appreciate your encouragement and your depth of
knowledge.” Carroll Sue

Joining the Facebook group really helped me. Since I had a supportive group I knew I could ask questions to and feel like we were all on the same page. Which I did not feel I had in my daily life. For those early moments where I was still getting over fear of not eating, or the first day I struggled, having the Facebook group really kept me going and kept me on track.” -Valerie

“The fasting challenge was a big help with info and someone to cheer you on.” – Amanda
