2020 Winter Nutrition Challenge

Fringe Winter 2020 Nutrition Challenge

It’s Nutrition Challenge time again!

Our 2020 Winter Nutrition Challenge is on the calendar, and this year we are rolling out our new nutrition platform with it! We have partnered with Nicole Marchand Aucoin, Registered Dietitian and Owner of Healthy Steps Nutrition (HSN), to provide you with even more resources, more plans, and more finely tuned systems.

Our Nutrition Coaching program is designed to provide you with an easy, science-based approach to nutrition and wellness, using simple behavior modification strategies to create positive change without the stress of “dieting.” There are many programs that will tell you what not to eat and replace food with supplements. Ours is an education and teaching program that will help you understand how and what to eat, and how to achieve your goals, one step at a time!

All-New with New Toys

And what better time to roll out this new program than with our annual Nutrition Challenge starting January 13! We will be using an all-new, awesome app throughout the challenge provided by our partners at HSN. This app is packed with great features and fingertip convenience which will help you track your food, communicate with your nutrition coach and other participants, and so much more!The goal of this year’s challenge is, of course, to mentally reset and lose some of that unwanted body fat, but it’s also so much more! We will help you to prioritize healthy eating and better habits.
