The start-up package for the Cityline Weight Loss Challenge 2015 includes:

A downloadable food journal – Research is very clear that people who food journal lose more weight overall. Please record everything you eat and drink in your food journal. You will also have the opportunity to record your weekly weigh in results and a summary of how you feel at the end of the day.
A 7-day meal plan – The 7-day meal plan is an example of your perfect week. You do not have to stick to this meal plan to lose. We will be posting more recipes and meal plans as we go along. If you have any great recipes or meals you create – let us know at drjoey@drjoey.com.

A few “need to know” tips for starting the program:
- Everyone has a different metabolism, however, on average you will lose 2 pounds per week.
- For every 5 pounds you lose, you will lose an inch and a half around your belly region.
- The program is based on blood sugar balancing (a.k.a hormonal balance) with wholesome, healthy and delicious food.
- Weight loss does not always happen in a straight line. If you hit a plateau after losing 10 or more pounds – I will show you how to break it.
- It does not matter how many diets you have been on in the past or how old you are – you can and will lose and get healthier and I am here to help!
- The structure of the program will create a long-term shift with your food choices that will help you lose the weight and keep it off for life.
