Congratulations for making the decision to join the 21 Day Lower Blood Sugar Challenge™.
You have made a powerful choice that can help change your life for the better!
The key is to challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone – you know, those routine habits we all have ;)
The challenge officially starts on 10th January at 7am (US Eastern Time), or your date/timezone equivalent.
1. Keep an eye on your email inbox
We’ll be sending you an email every single day throughout the challenge (Jan 10 to Jan 30) so keep an eye on your inbox around 7am US Eastern time each day (or your timezone equivalent).
If you don’t see our emails, please check in your ‘other’ and ‘junk mail’ or ‘spam’ folders and when you find our emails, bookmark our address: [email protected] – so we don’t end up there again!
TIP: If the emails are in another folder, you can often drag it into the ‘inbox’ then next time it will come directly there.
2. Track your blood sugar numbers
Throughout the challenge we will be posting daily check ins where you’ll be able to report your numbers, if you take them.
We also recommend you keep a more detailed log during the challenge so at the end of the challenge, you can evaluate your progress and share your results with us from start to finish. Remember, you don’t have to lower your blood sugar levels by lots, any progress is good progress. And the whole purpose of the challenge is for you to build confidence that you know what to eat and you can enjoy what you eat while regulating blood sugar at the same time.
To get started now, download our blood sugar/diet logs.
Print them out and start tracking your numbers and the meals you are eating. Once we start the challenge, these numbers and details will be very useful.
3. Daily check ins
Although we encourage you to monitor your blood sugar levels and report, if you’re not doing that, you can also report:
- your food diary
- a meal
- ask a question
- share a struggle or challenge you’re facing
- or simply say: ‘hi, I’m checking in for the day.’
The idea is, we want you to get involved and participate as much as possible, for the entire 21 days.
Remember, this challenge all about YOU, so the only person who will benefit from the efforts is YOU!!
P.S. You don’t have to check in in the morning, you can do it any time of day that suits you. Our nutritionists will be checking in throughout the challenge. :)
4. Make it count
Don’t let this be “another” thing you signed up for and didn’t complete – get involved and commit to YOU!
Over the 21 days we’ll share valuable information and resources, including:
- How to get started with your diet plan
- Our recommended food list
- Sample meal plan (with recipes)
- Breakfast ideas (with recipes)
- Lunch ideas (with recipes)
- Dinner ideas (with recipes)
- Snacks & sweets (with recipes)
- How to monitor blood sugar levels and why it’s so important
- The perfect diet that brings the best results
- And much more
Your only task is to commit to yourself for 21 days, participate in the activities, and apply what we share.
If you do, you can get lower blood sugar numbers and improve your health.
So, get involved and make YOU count!
We look forward to sharing your progress and results during the challenge.

Testimonials from previous participants
Here’s some results from our participants’ progress reports after 21 days plus their words of praise.
Margaret “At times my fasting levels were as high as 199 (11.1). After just 21 days my morning average is 121 to 140 (6.8 to 7.8) and my after-meal numbers are normal! I had never seen a number much below 120! It does work and I am very thankful for the advice & encouragement.”

I lost over 11 pounds (4.9kg) in 21 days, lowered after-meal blood sugar from 151-160 (8.4-8.9) down to under 140 (7.8), and morning sugars from 121-140 (6.7-7.8) down to 101-120 (5.6-6.7). I look forward to keeping it up.”
