Ready to RESET your healthy habits and get back on track for 2022?
Let's start in the kitchen!
Our mission at Salus is to help you make life-long changes.
But, if you’re not sure what to eat, how much to eat or when to eat, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and not even start.
So, what does this challenge look like?
While the specifics will look different for everyone, we will all follow the same theme (kids included):
-Eat good, clean foods in the right amounts
-Move your body often
-Recover your body through stress management and sleep
Pretty simple, right?
But, too often, nutrition is the most overwhelming, confusing, and time-consuming thing on that list. That’s why we make it easy to follow with a food list and daily tasks to accomplish.

What this challenge is NOT...
…A quick fix. You are starting a nutrition and lifestyle make-over. It requires a long-term investment. This is just the beginning to guide you in the right direction so you can make long-term results!
…A meal plan. Specific meal plans are simply not sustainable. You will, however, receive guidance about what kinds of foods to eat and how much to eat to ensure you’re getting enough macro- & micro-nutrients.
…A deep dive into unique needs. This challenge is designed to introduce better eating & lifestyle habits. For more specific individual coaching needs (emotional eating, counting macros, nutrient timing, eating to perform, weight-cuts, etc.), we are offering the option of individual nutrition coaching at a discounted rate for challenge participants.
Take advantage of this incredible value with Coach Angela or Coach Camilla by contacting info@salusnj.com.

What are some healthy swaps?
The key is to read the ingredients list. You’ll be surprised, you might find some healthy alternatives/swaps out there that are “compliant.” Here are some ideas:
- Instead of a seemingly healthy Nature Valley Granola Bars (ingredients: Whole Grain Oats, Sugar, Canola Oil, Rice Flour, Honey, Salt, Brown Sugar Syrup, Baking Soda, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavor), opt for a Larabar (Dates. Almonds. Walnuts. Cocoa Powder. Sea Salt.) or an RX bar (egg whites, nuts, date).
- Instead of regular pasta (ingredient semolina flour- a refined white flour with minimal nutrients) opt for brown rice pasta (brown rice, water).
- Instead of microwave popcorn with hydrogenated oils, pop your own on the stovetop with coconut oil and sea salt.
- Instead of Aunt Jemima pancake mix (ingredients: enriched bleached flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), sugar, leavening (sodium bicarbonate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), salt, calcium carbonate), opt for Birch Benders Paleo pancake mix (cassava flour, organic coconut flour, almond flour, eggs, leavening, salt, monk fruit, spice.)
- Instead of sugar filled breakfast cereals, serve up oatmeal with mashed banana inside!
- Instead of a sandwich for lunch, consider packing a small thermos with last night’s “approved” leftovers.
- Instead of restaurant french fries (will most likely be fried in yuck oils), make your own “fried” potatoes or sweet potatoes with coconut or olive oil and bake!

What about liquid?
Only water, herbal tea, coconut water, coffee, Vitargo or approved pre/post workout supplements are allowed. Wine & spirits are allowed twice a week (one serving per day).
Beer, gatorade, soda (diet or regular), etc. are considered non-compliant.

What happens when I go out to eat?
While we understand events, parties and celebrations will come up. For 6-weeks, we are asking you to plan ahead. If you do eat out, do your best to eat within the portion and food choice guidelines. Unless you know exactly how your meal was prepared, you cannot receive full points for it. This is called a challenge for a reason and we want to maximize your results in this 6-week time span.
What about sweeteners?
The only source of sweetener should come from whole foods (aka: fruit), stevia, monkfruit or coconut sugar, honey & real maple syrup is also allowed in moderation (no more than 1tbsp twice a week). Table sugar, high fructose corn syrup and all other artificial sweeteners are not compliant. READ LABELS!
What condiments are allowed?
Balsamic vinegar (must be the only ingredient), red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, hot sauce (check label for additives/sugar), spices and seasonings are okay (read the ingredients list!), garlic cloves, herbs.
