We created reNEW as a 4-week program for you to renew your healthy habits. Each week, for 4 weeks, consume 1 day of Eat by Alex meals, and the other 6 days of the week you are supported with recipes and guidance to eat healthy with a normal calorie intake. This is called the 6:1 method of intermittent fasting. We also encourage the 14/10 method where you consume your meals only during a 10 hour time window, and fast for 14 hours.
You can start your program on any day after your selected Wednesday delivery. For example, you can wait and start on Monday morning.
How? The meals in reNEW are delivered frozen to maintain maximum freshness. Upon delivery, keep your meals frozen until consuming, by keeping them in your freezer. When you're ready to start - thaw the meals for the upcoming reNEW day in your fridge overnight.
