Snackless FAQs
How does snackless work?
The snackless programme teaches DISTRACTION to help you overcome urges to eat. Distraction is a proven method for anyone experiencing an urge to eat something they don't really want or need.
All you need to do to avoid over-eating is recognise your first thought about food as it’s happening, and then distract yourself with an alternative activity so that the urge to eat subsides. Clearly, knowing this isn't enough to actually make you eat less - you have to practice. This is where the snackless programme comes in. The snackless programme guides you at a specific pace so that you can practice (1) recognising your urges to eat (2) finding different distracting activities that suit your lifestyle (3) implementing the ones that work for you, so you get real, long lasting results.
Will you tell me what to eat?
No. What you eat on the programme is up to you and nobody sees what you log in your food journal. The programme teaches you how to stop yourself from eating when you don't want to, so it doesn't matter what that food actually is.
How much does snackless cost?
The snackless programme costs £187.
To put that in perspective, that's roughly the same as 4 personal training sessions, or 3 months worth of snacks if you're spending £2 per day currently on snacks that you want to cut out.
If you don't snack less as a result of the programme, you can have your money back. It's that simple.
Can I expect to reduce snacking immediately?
No, because the programme is deliberately designed to help you snack less forever, not just for the 30 days. Research shows that people who achieve long term success do not do so overnight.
The first 9 days are dedicated to understanding your current habits and excuses to snack. From day 10 onwards you'll make snacking plans each day to see when you're most likely to impulse-snack. Then with a solid understanding of where you're starting from and enhanced motivation, from Day 15 onwards you will start to actively practice snacking less. There are opportunities to make the programme more challenging or easier for yourself as you go along.

What is the snackless guarantee?

· You start and finish the programme within a total of 33 calendar days
· You claim the refund within 3 months of signing up
· You provide evidence that you have fully taken part (we will tell you what we need)
What do I need to do on the programme?
The 30 day snackless programme has three key features:
-
Keep a basic food log (nobody sees or judges what you eat)
-
Listen to a daily coaching session (up to 7 minutes per day, these are pre-recorded so are available on demand by logging into the website)
-
Attend one 15-20 minute group coaching session on Zoom each week (you'll get 3 time/day options to choose from and if none of these work for you, I'll send you the recording)
You'll also receive tailored coaching content via email throughout the programme based on your unique snacking challenges.
What is a daily coaching session?
You will be guided through simple activities as you listen to the audio, this is your daily coaching session. These typically involve writing down your answers to specific questions. You are given time to answer within each session, but can pause the session if you need longer.
There are other coaching techniques such as visualisations and affirmations, all carefully designed to help you change your snacking habits for good.
Can I do the daily coaching session at any time of day?
Yes. You can listen to the coaching session at any time that's convenient to you. If you choose to listen at the same time each day you're more likely to maintain momentum with the programme, but this is not essential. You will need to write answers to questions and take part in activities, so you can't listen when say.. walking the dog!
When are the group coaching sessions?
15- 20 minute group coaching sessions are broadcast each week online.
There are 3 slots to choose from, you only need to attend 1 per week. There is no need to book in advance, just drop in to the one that suits you best.

What happens if I can't make a group coaching session?
Send me an email or WhatsApp message if you can't attend any of the group coaching session times and I'll send you a link to the recording.
Can I use my phone as a food log?
You can use your phone to keep your food journal. However it's recommended that you use a physical notepad because it's easier to follow the format of the programme.
When you pay full price for the snackless programme you'll be provided with the snackless workbook. This gives you the format you need for the food journal and space to take part in the daily coaching sessions. It's also small enough to carry around with you.
What happens if I miss a day?
If you miss a day recording your food or you miss a daily coaching session, it’s important to get back on track as soon as possible. You have to fill in the food journal and listen to a daily coaching session for it to count as a completed day on the programme. Here's an example:
