Frequently Asked Questions

For the average client who is here primarily to lose non-essential body fat, I will have you on an aggressive plan. If you follow what we instruct through our education program, you can plan to lose one pound of fat a week. Does one pound of fat a week not sound aggressive enough?

Let me explain: It takes 3500 calories to burn one pound of fat.

3500 (calories in a pound of fat) / 7 (days in a week) = 500 calories per day.

I have to take into consideration several factors to get you into a calorie cut that works for you. A 500 calorie deficit is quite aggressive!

Nope! In fact, You will find that the goal here it MANNA is to help people heal and get healthy. Weight loss is an avenue to begin that journey for many but ends up being a byproduct of being healthy.

I have had several clients over the years who would like to boost their energy levels, create healthy rhythms, get better sleep, and get rid of migraines. None of those have anything to do with fat loss. Every Nutrient ID is tailored to your specific needs. I do each one by hand myself!

I do not require you to purchase any of the following, but I highly recommend it!

• A scale that will read your biometrics.
• Protein supplements (I recommend several brands but you are not required to use any of them).
• MANNA does not sell its own products or require you to use specific brands, ever.

The best time to start week one of MANNA, also known as Clean Up, is when you have space in your schedule to be home. You will have the weekend before your Monday start date to grocery shop and meal prep. MANNA can be done at any time! Traveling is not a disqualification during your 12 week MANNA course.

It varies, but generally once a month I will open a new group. Check out our Services page to find out which classes are available!

Exercise is encouraged! The first week I will advise you to do light activity.

There is a separate product that can be purchased in month 3 of Phase I which will be outlined in one of your videos, but it is not required. You are welcome to do any physical activity you prefer.

At MANNA we believe sustainable change happens when the client takes responsibility for their food choices. You will receive a variety of recipes and ideas through our recipe eBook and our dining out recommendations, but no meal plan will be prepared for you.
