You Know What to Eat. Now Learn How to Make It Work for Your Life.

Finally! A simple, peaceful way of eating the foods you love that fits the life God has given you and…leads to your healthy weight. Genius!

Can you believe you’ve gone your whole life and no one’s ever taught you how to do this?

You’ve been taught what to eat. You’ve been given food rules, diets, meal plans, and plenty of nutrition information.

But no one’s ever taught you (let’s be real…given you permission) to eat the foods YOU love to create a way of eating that actually works for you and your life.

That’s what you’re going to learn in the Meal Plan Challenge.

“I did not expect to get ANY results. But the Lord wins again…
I can more easily plan and then not have to think about food. I actually look forward to the planning because it leaves me more brain space.”

“

The problem isn’t that you don’t know what to eat.

The problem is that no one has ever taught you how to take what you know and make it work for your life.

That’s a skill.
And skills can be taught.

You’ve spent years trying to fit yourself into someone else’s way of eating. Now you’re going to learn how to create a way of eating that fits you.

”

A Note from Denise

The first tool I ever used still works.

Twelve years ago I was stuck in a cycle of overeating: spending my evenings in my pantry with a jar of peanut butter, waiting for my family to go to bed so I could eat again. Surrendering my food and weight struggles to the Lord changed my heart. But I still needed to know what to do with my food.

That's when I started learning how to make food work for my life: eating foods I enjoyed, without diet rules. (period). Just something I could easily stick to.”

Since then, I’ve been at my healthy weight for over twelve years, and I’ve helped over 5,000 Catholic women learn how to do this. Without a doubt, this is the number one skill that is the key to lasting weight loss. I want you to have this freedom too!

“When I do the work, and walk alongside the Lord, it actually IS easy!”

Why this is different

This is a skill.

And skills can be taught.

You aren't born knowing this. Skills have to be learned, and then practiced.

That’s why a medication can’t give you a skill. That’s why following someone else’s food plan won’t give you the skill either. No one else can hand this to you; This is a journey you have to walk through yourself.

This is about finding what works for you, now.

Not what worked five years ago. Not even last year. The old diet rules don’t always apply here.

Skills feel new at first.

But the more you practice this skill, the better you get — and the more natural it becomes.

What you’ll learn

The 3 Elements of an Easy-to-Stick-To Meal Plan

A plan worth sticking to has three things in it. Inside the challenge, you'll learn each one and practice them step by step.

Element One

01

You eat foods you actually enjoy.

We start with unconditional permission. You probably arrive with a big bag of food rules, rules your brain has been clinging to for safety. This is essential work, and the challenge is built to you through learning it. Every woman I’ve ever walked through this with has found immense freedom here.

Because our God is a God of freedom and a God of order. He wouldn’t have given you taste buds if you weren’t meant to eat food you enjoy. You just haven’t learned how to eat it without guilt or the fear of overeating it. I’ll teach you how.

You’ll become a woman who can eat the food she enjoys — without guilt, without the fear of overeating.

Element Two

02

You feel peaceful about your food: before, during, and after eating.

You will become a woman who can identify what feels peaceful and what doesn’t. (This is its own mini-skill within the challenge, and you will learn it.)

Instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” you’ll start asking a different question: does this bring me peace? Because when you feel peace, you are in line with the Holy Spirit. You aren’t judging food, you’re connecting with the Holy Spirit in your own body. You can sense what is of God, and what isn’t.

Element Three

03

It works for your day.

You’ll learn how to become your own best personal assistant: anticipating your own needs, caring for yourself, and making a plan that fits the woman who is actually living your life right now. This is truly how we are like Jesus to ourselves.

You’ll become a woman who anticipates her own needs — and cares for herself the way Jesus cares for her.

diet recovery
Before

I was still attempting to eat by the rules of WW, even though it had quit working for me. I would do pretty well staying within my points throughout the week, then the weekend would hit and I’d get my binge on. I would literally eat my way through the weekend because I had felt deprived all week. I would eat whether I was hungry or not. I just knew I had to eat it all right now because a new week of deprivation was about to begin.

Now

I feel free, I feel that almost all of the food noise has left my brain. I feel I’m part of the family again because we can all eat the same meals together. I feel closer to the Lord because I’m daily consulting with Him now instead of trying to do food point math all day, worrying that a couple extra points were going to ruin my whole day and then I was a failure.

When I use the plan I can stick to, I feel like God is in control and not me, alone, trying to white knuckle my way through.

food noise & autopilot
Before

I used to think about food all the time. I love to cook so I was always planning meals in my head. I ate most of my food standing up because I was always cooking. I would graze all day long because I always felt hungry. When I would rein myself in and try to be “good” I would always feel deprived. Then I would be “bad” and cave, and then the “mean girl” voice would show up. My life was on auto pilot when it came to food.

Now

I started brushing my teeth with my left hand. It seemed to kick start my brain. I started to really be able to think about what I was actually doing. Making the plan has taken all of the food noise away. I don’t have to think about what I am going to eat. The mean girl debate can never start.

I have watched my plan evolve over the last year, and now I want to write down fruit and vegetables because that really is what I want to eat. (It’s a miracle!) I am controlling my mind instead of my mind controlling me.

emotional eating
Before

I used to eat throughout the day. Standing at the counter mindlessly eating snack after snack. Constantly in the kitchen opening a cupboard. I was seeking and searching, but I didn’t know what I needed to be filled with. Even when on a diet, such as keto, I would binge out on whatever approved foods I could have.

Now

It opened my eyes to all of the reasons I eat: I need a break, I’m procrastinating, I’m overwhelmed by my to-do list, I’m tired after work and need downtime, I haven’t allowed myself time to do what I enjoy, I feel guilt because I was at work and my kids were at home. I was using food to soothe, comfort, procrastinate, and take a break.

When I use the plan I can stick to, I feel that I’m doing my part to take care of my daily needs hand in hand with the Holy Spirit. I’m getting to know and love the real me instead of the me drowned out by my expectations.

J

Jen

cooking & family
Before

I used to think when I could eat again. Will I be hungry by the time meal time came? I would white knuckle my way through not eating desserts, cookies or candy. I often times would cook two meals. I would make a special one for me and then one for my family. I would sit at meals eating and upset because I couldn’t have that family favorite meal. I had a lot of food noise. I started to hate cooking.

Now

I feel more at peace with food. I’m not thinking about the next meal while I’m eating the current meal. I now only make one meal for the family and I’m enjoying the favorites. I also started to enjoy cooking again and trying new things.

A few questions

You might be wondering…

When does the challenge start?

Your challenge starts right when you sign up. You will have instant access to course materials!

I’m on a weight loss medication. Is this still for me?

Yes, especially. A medication can’t teach you a skill. Whether you stay on a medication long term or you’re planning to come off it eventually, you’ll need to know how to make a plan you actually want to follow. The skill is yours either way.

Do I need to follow a specific food plan?

No. This isn’t about handing you another diet. The whole point is learning to make a plan that works for you: your tastes, your schedule, your life right now. We’re teaching you the skill, not handing you the food list.

What if I can’t make the live Q&As?

Every live session is recorded so you can watch it back on your own time. You won’t miss anything if you can’t make a session live.

Will I lose weight in this challenge?

This skill is foundational to lasting weight loss because it teaches you how to create a way of eating you can actually live with. Some women lose weight during the six weeks, but we’re not handing you a quick-fix diet. We’re teaching you the skill you’ll use to reach and maintain your healthy weight.
