+ IS THIS A DIET PROGRAM WHERE I NEED TO RELIGIOUSLY COUNT CALORIES?

While this program is geared towards weight management, there’s also a very big component around mindset and relationship to food. While you can choose to keep a food journal using the method of your choice, we will not be using MyFitnessPal exclusively in this program. This program was created so you don’t have to count calories. We WILL be using some numbers but if you’ve been on programs where you’ve had a very rigid calorie goal, this will feel very different. The goal for me is to help you learn what your body needs. For example, how much protein do you need at lunch to help stave off sugar cravings in the afternoon? Are you going TOO light on breakfast and then barely making it to lunch? What time of day does it make sense for you to snack? By having some data, we can then figure out where we need to fix things! In my group program, we go deeper into calorie tracking using MyFitnessPal

+ Where does the program take place?

Online! You will receive all the materials via e-mail. The resources consists of PDFs, emails and videos.

+ HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I EXPECT TO LOSE?

This totally depends on how much weight you have to lose (of course, if you’re looking to lose 50+ lbs, the weight is going to come off faster!). That said, once you get situated and are on track, you can expect to lose 1-2 lbs per week. This program is designed to be sustainable so we keep the calories as high as possible while losing weight.

If weight loss is not a goal, you will also have the option to set your calorie goals to maintenance and use the program to build sustainable habits.

Besides weight loss, though, you’ll walk away with immense benefits. You’ll improve your relationship with food. You’ll stop obsessing over everything you do or don’t eat. You’ll find the balance you deserve to enjoy all your favorite foods while also reaching your goals. And , even if you don’t lose the weight you initially intended to, you’ll walk out feeling 100 pounds lighter.

+ HOW LONG IS THIS PROGRAM?

This program is entirely self-paced but it’s designed to take ~5 weeks to get through all the materials. From there, you can choose to follow the program until you get to your goal or you may decide you want to transition to our group or 1:1 coaching programs. Theoretically, you can use this program for as long as you’d like!

+ WHAT IF THE PROGRAM DOESN’T WORK FOR ME?

The program works if you put in the work.

If you follow along with the materials and really trust the process, you will be more successful than you ever were before. That said, because I can’t guarantee that you’ll put in the work, I can’t guarantee you’ll get results.

+ CAN I DO THIS IF I’M GLUTEN FREE, VEGETARIAN, VEGAN, OR HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES?

Yes! All meals can be made vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten free, or dairy free. We provide a variety of recipes that are naturally vegan and gluten free and we also provide a swap list so that you can change out any ingredient in our recipes.

+ CAN I DINE OUT AND DRINK ALCOHOL ON THIS PLAN?

Absolutely. We cover this in detail in the program. This program is about navigating nutrition in REAL life. You will be given the tools you need to handle any situation.

+ WHAT FOODS WILL I HAVE TO CUT OUT?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We’re going to teach you how ALL foods can fit into your diet, even if your goal is weight loss. We use a “flexible eating” approach and the program is geared towards teaching you how to know how many calories you need to get to your goals. From there, you’ll learn how to break those calories down into macronutrients in a way that will support your goals! Restrictive diets don’t work. It’s time to learn how to eat like a normal person.

+ WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PROGRAM ENDS?

The program is designed for you to feel confident in your nutrition needs after 5 weeks! You’ll be armed with essential knowledge to help you navigate all sorts of “eating scenarios,” plus loads of recipes and cheat sheets. That said, after you work through the program, you might find you’d like some accountability. If that’s the case, we’d love to have you in our group coaching or 1:1 coaching program and because you’ve completed the Flexible Nutrition Starter Kit, you will receive a discount to any of our other programs.

+ CAN’T I GET BETTER RESULTS WITH 1:1 COACHING RIGHT AWAY?

With 1:1 coaching, you certainly get more solo facetime with us, but because of this, it’s also significantly more costly.

This program is designed to give you access to our knowledge and resources without the price tag.

That said, if 1:1 coaching is more your thing because you want that extra accountability or if you have specific health issues that would prevent you from taking this group program, we’d love for you to apply for our 1:1 services!

+ DO YOU HAVE A REFUND POLICY?

Because you receive instant access to the program upon registration, we do not offer any refunds. If you have any uncertainty about the program or would like to ask questions before you sign up, please email us at admin@alixturoffnutrition.com and we’re happy to help guide you in this decision!
