“I figured out that it didn’t matter how much I exercised—my nutrition was always what held me back,” Elsa said.

“I’d tried macro tracking before but didn’t know if my numbers were right. I even got really sick once because they were way too low for my activity level.”

And that’s a common problem. Many people who try to “fix” their nutrition on their own end up setting their calories and macros far too low—especially when using generic calculators or fad diet apps. While it might cause short-term weight loss, it often leads to long-term damage: slowed metabolism, intense cravings, hormonal imbalances, and even illness, like what Elsa experienced.

The truth? You don’t have to go that low or lose weight that fast to make progress. In fact, sustainable fat loss happens when your body feels properly fueled, not starved. That’s what makes the APEX 12-Week Nutrition Challenge different.

With expert guidance from Jennie Carolan and an approach rooted in science, Elsa learned how to eat enough to support her energy levels, maintain muscle, and still lose fat.

“This wasn’t just someone handing me macros. It was a structured experience that taught me how to fuel my body the right way,” she said. “The Facebook group and weekly calls with Jennie kept me motivated, and the DEXA scans showed me that my hard work was paying off.”
