Fitness Tip

  • Beige foods are typically void of much nutritional value: rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, chips/crackers/pretzels, and cakes to name a few. If you must eat something beige, make it 25% of your meal or less. Ideally, the more colorful your plate, the better!

Testimonials

  • I’m new to these weight loss challenges. I am good at starting diets but always lose my motivation. Jenny was great. Always checking in, giving support and posting inspiration. When I struggled she was understanding and encouraged me not to give up even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted.  She is such a great role model – someone who is not only a coach but in the trenches herself fighting to get healthier. I would like to do another challenge with her in the future.
