How the challenge works:

This 28-Day Challenge is fully online. After the challenge starts, you will receive an email every morning at 07:00 for 28 consecutive days, containing information and a corresponding assignment.

During the challenge, we focus on awareness and health. There will be no sports or movement exercises involved, nor is it a diet, so you won’t receive weekly meal plans to stick to. However, you will receive plenty of inspiration for healthy recipes. This is exactly why this challenge works so well for so many people! The results are truly astonishing 😱.

We all find ourselves in a "diet culture," and I believe that all these rules have created a lot of resistance within us. Moreover, we are all different, with unique lives and varying needs. So how can there be a "one size fits all"? Exactly, there can’t!

This challenge provides you with all the tools you need to achieve a healthy weight. But you will integrate these tools into YOUR life, tailored to what you specifically need to reach your goals.

The story ofĀ Jacqueline Belzer

30 kilos lost thanks to the challenge, and now my weight is stable! šŸ’›

"Since I was young, I’ve struggled with my weight. I’ve tried every diet, and while they helped for a bit, the kilos often came back, sometimes even more than before. My doctor couldn’t help, and visiting a dietitian yielded only temporary or no results.

In 2022/23, I underwent three surgeries in 1.5 years, which negatively impacted my weight as I was less active and spent my time working at the computer.

I found it hard to look at myself, and I couldn’t bear to see myself in photos or videos. I knew I needed to change, but I didn’t know how. I started going to the gym, but it completely exhausted my body.

Then I came across this challenge...

Now, almost a year later, I’ve lost more than 30 kilos and have maintained my weight for quite some time. I remember what it feels like to feel good about myself, to look in the mirror without shame.

I’m so glad I found this challenge and that I had the determination to keep going..."

Why I (Astrid) Started This Challenge

In the past 10 years, I have fought to regain my health. I was tired, exhausted, and far too heavy.

I tried countless ways to get fit and lose weight, but for a long time, I was unsuccessful. I consulted nutritionists, my doctor, joined gyms, participated in boot camps, tried juice fasting, followed dietary guidelines, consumed meal shakes and bars, and experimented with numerous diets. Unfortunately, none of this yielded significant results, and I continued to grow heavier, reaching over 149 kilos!

But I didn’t give up! I refused to accept that this was the body I would have for the rest of my life.

My greatest sorrow? Not being able to ride horses because I was too heavy. It was devastating! Until two years ago, when I gradually discovered the ā€˜Magical Formula’—a combination of various themes in my lifestyle and dietary choices.

As a result, I lost over 80 kilos in two years. This transformation was lasting and achieved without great effort, but it did require adjustments in my lifestyle and making different choices.

As someone with firsthand experience, I understand how frustrating it can be when you can’t get a handle on your weight. I also know how incredible it feels to understand why you gain weight and to have the tools at your disposal to lose it until you reach your target weight and learn how to maintain it, ensuring you never become overweight again.

I wish everyone the happiness of a fit and slim body. It is my mission to help you achieve the same!

"Did you know that many people who had been stuck in their weight loss journey for years have started making progress again thanks to this challenge?"

"I'M GOING FOR IT TOO!"

Does this sound familiar to you as well?

  • Gaining weight and not being able to lose it
    'Every little pound adds up' is an old saying, and there's some truth to it. But... what if you feel that your weight gain can't be explained by this? Could there be something else going on? In my case, there was!

  • Dips in energy, especially after eating
    If I waited too long between meals, I would feel light-headed. But... once I had eaten, fatigue would set in afterward. Do you recognize fluctuations in your energy levels and dips after eating? It can be different!

  • Various physical complaints
    I had a lot of different physical issues. From muscle tremors, joint pain, hair loss, chronic fatigue, wounds that healed poorly, and the list went on.

    I had a subscription with the doctor and the emergency room. They could never find anything, and I was sent home with a pill or a cream. Do you notice that you're not feeling great and have various fluctuating complaints for which there doesn't seem to be a clear cause? Please don't just accept it!

  • Always hungry or craving snacks soon after eating
    Do you find yourself feeling hungry again just 1 or 2 hours after a meal? Or do you have the tendency to snack throughout the day? It can be frustrating, right? And it definitely doesn't help you stick to your resolutions. Good news! You don't have weak willpower, and you're not insatiable. The type of food you eat and the timing of your meals have a significant impact on this. You can easily and effortlessly make your cravings disappear. I'll teach you all about it in my challenge.

It's time to take control of YOUR health and weight again!

Being overweight is not your fault if you lack the knowledge about why losing weight is difficult.

With this 28-day challenge, I will guide you through the steps I took, so you too can gain lasting control over your weight.

  • No more unexplained weight gain.
  • No more struggling against your body and those extra pounds.
  • Avoid spending the thousands of euros I did on these tools.
  • Shorten the time you need to reach your ideal weight (my 10-year learning journey condensed into 28 days!).

Step into your power and enjoy life again, just like I do!

Before and after

"In the meantime, I have lost 17 kilos thanks to the challenge!"

"RESULTS FROM THE AUGUST CHALLENGE GROUP:"

Here are some impressive results from participants who completed the challenge in August. These results were achieved in just 28 days!

Starting weight 73.5, this morning on the scale 67.8, so that's minus 5.7... in 4 weeks.

This challenge has proven to be a valuable tool for me to finally get back into the right flow regarding my health and weight. - JS

Here's a little message from me after 28 days.
Well, it was definitely a challenge. I really faced myself, and that's a good thing.
Almost 5 kilos lighter and on my way to -10 kilos. It helps to keep your goal in mind. As for nutrition, I already had the necessary knowledge, but the insights really mattered to me this time. They were truly helpful. - WH

Ā I've lost just over 2 kilos so far (partly due to a vacation that turned into more of a caregiving week). I'm back on the scale on Thursday, and I think I might have lost a bit more.

I've also lost 4 cm around my waist, and I can tell that my walking pants, which fit well two weeks ago, are now too loose (they're starting to sag!).

It's great to find support in the group, to be able to ask questions, and to see recipes come up that I can try. - IP

I've lost 5 kilos now, going from 77.8 to 73 kilos. - SB

Thank you, Astrid! I'm happy to say I've lost 5 kg again. I can almost fit back into my riding pants. Just 4 more kilos to go, and I'll be back! - AH

By participating and adjusting my eating habits, I have overcome all the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Due to all the bowel surgeries, my digestive system functions a bit differently. I will keep going; weight loss was not my primary goal—relieving my digestive pain, gaining more energy, and eating healthier were. And I have achieved that! - MD

Currently, I’m fluctuating between losing 4 to 5 kg, which I consider a pretty good result in just a month. It's amazing that you’ve launched such a project. The support from the group really makes it much easier. It's also comforting to know that others stumble too, but you can bounce back much quicker. Just reading that there are still people dealing with the same issues every day gives me more courage to keep going. Thank you all so much! - HD

Thank you so much for this challenge and all the information. I joined because I was struggling to get and stay below 90 kg. Now, I’ve even managed to drop below 85 kg! I currently weigh 83.7 kg, and with small steps, it’s still going down. - A

I’m so happy with this challenge and I’m trying to get everyone around me excited about it! I feel so much better both physically and mentally. There’s more space in my head, and things are easier for me! - JZ

Ā 

Here are my achieved results: -3 kg. - GC

I have lost 10 kg after the 28-day challenge šŸŽ‰. Just 10 kg more to reach my goal weight of 85 kg (I am 182 cm tall). - MS

I am so glad I signed up for the challenge. It was the push in the right direction. After 4 weeks, I have lost 6.1 kg. - OV

What encouraging emails I received over the past 28 days. I have now lost 5 kg and feel much better. - JS

How great that you are so dedicated! Not only for the riders but also for the horses and the discussion about rider weight. I have personally lost 4 kg now. - SA

I started at 67.9 and am now at 63.9 kg! So my goal is getting closer quickly. - DH

Thank you for all the insights over the past 28 days.Ā I feel fitter, calm in my mind, and I'm no longer constantly thinking about what I should eat because now I have three meals a day.
I sleep better, and I've also lost 4.8 kg during this journey!

Thank you very much. - PS

Everything is actually going very well... I'm becoming more aware of my eating habits and how to tackle everything in the best way.
I've already lost 4 kg. - HL

I've lost 6.7 kg. Thank you for this! - MW

What happens if you take no action?

What does the future look like for you if you take no action? When you've lost confidence and resigned yourself to the idea that your health won't improve, how does your body look and how do you feel when your weight stops decreasing? What is your life like when moving and exercising become increasingly difficult? Or when you find it harder to participate actively in life?

What can you still do, and what can you no longer do? How much worse will it get if you can't gain control over it?

It's your health, your weight, your choice. But you don't have to do it alone. And you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

I would love to help you by sharing knowledge that can help you regain control over your health.
