7 Day Food & Nutrition Reset Challenge – Simple Food & Nutrition Habits

Welcome to Week 3 of the 90 Day New Page Challenge!

But before we jump in, how did Week 2 go for you?

Did you try any of the systems or productivity nudges? Did you block schedule your week? Do a brain dump? Maybe set up a command center or finally unsubscribe from those emails you somehow got signed up for in 2021?

I definitely noticed something this week: when the systems are in place, life just feels… calmer. Not perfect (never perfect), but smoother. Fewer frantic mornings, fewer “what are we even doing tonight?” moments, and fewer things living rent-free in my brain.

And honestly? That mental space is about to come in very handy for this week’s theme. Because Week 3 is all about something that impacts our energy, mood, focus, and patience more than we sometimes realize: food and nutrition. 

Not dieting.

Not restriction.

Not becoming the person who drinks green juice for every meal and judges other people’s snacks.

Just… resetting how we think about food and how we fuel our bodies.

Why a Food Reset Matters

Most of us are busy.

Really busy.

And when life gets busy, food becomes the thing we default on. We grab whatever is quick, convenient, or currently being eaten by a child in the back seat of the car.

Ask me how I know.

Sometimes the day gets away from me, and I realize I’ve had two coffees, half a protein bar, and a handful of Goldfish crackers leftover from my kid’s after-school snack. 

Not exactly peak performance fuel.

The goal of this week isn’t to overhaul your entire diet or become a perfect meal-prepping person overnight.

The goal is awareness and small shifts.

Because when we fuel our bodies better, everything else tends to work better too.

More energy.

Better focus.

Fewer 3 PM crashes.

And maybe, just maybe, fewer moments where we open the pantry and stare blankly inside hoping dinner will magically assemble itself.

What We’re Resetting This Week

Week 3 focuses on simple food habits and nutrition awareness.

Nothing extreme.

Just small tweaks that make your body feel supported instead of constantly running on fumes.

Things like:

• Drinking more water
• Adding more protein
• Getting more vegetables into the day
• Reducing sugar (even temporarily)
• Being a little more mindful about what we eat

Again, not perfect.

Just… 1% better.

Let’s Be Clear: This Is Not a Diet

Quick pause here because this matters.

If your brain immediately went to:

“Okay great, now I have to overhaul everything in my kitchen, buy $300 worth of organic groceries, and start meal prepping.”

No.

That’s not what we’re doing.

This week is about tiny resets that help you feel better without creating more stress. No complicated plans. No shame. No perfection required. Just a few small shifts.

1% better, every day. 

Week 3 Nudges — Pick a Few and Actually Do Them

Same rules as always: you don’t have to do everything. Pick two or three that feel doable and try them this week. Small things done consistently are where the magic lives.

Have a water-only day: Skip the soda, juice, energy drinks, and fancy coffee creations for one day. Just water. It’s amazing how much better your body can feel with simple hydration. I’ll be using my favorite HydroJug every day. Use code “JORDAN” for 10% off! 

Make a meal from ingredients you already have: Before heading to the grocery store, challenge yourself to cook something using what’s already in your pantry, fridge, or freezer. Bonus points for creativity. Check out ShelfCooking.com for inspiration, or even pick up one of my cookbooks full of easy recipes made with ingredients you likely have on hand! 

No sugar for one day: Just try it. Skip the desserts, candy, and added sugar for 24 hours and see how your body feels.

Make a food budget. It’s easy to go into the grocery store and buy whatever looks good, but this week, make a food budget ahead of your shopping trip and stick to it. It will help make you more mindful of what you’re purchasing and you will also eliminate food waste by not buying things you won’t be able to eat before they go bad.

Add protein to every meal: Protein helps keep energy stable and keeps you full longer. Eggs, chicken, yogurt, beans, tofu, nuts — whatever works for you. I personally love this clear protein powder and protein water. Code “JORDAN” gets you 10% off! 

Add one vegetable to your day: That’s it. Just one. Toss spinach into eggs, add cucumbers to lunch, roast broccoli at dinner. Simple.

Make snacks for the kids instead of buying them: This one surprised me. Homemade snack plates, muffins, popcorn, or yogurt bowls can be easier (and cheaper) than constantly buying packaged snacks.

Use AI for meal ideas: If you’re staring at random ingredients wondering what on earth to make, try this: type them into ChatGPT and ask for meal or snack ideas. It’s like having a tiny kitchen assistant.

Ready to Level Up? Here’s Your Bonus Challenge:

If you’re feeling ambitious this week, try the Level Up Challenge:

No sugar all week.

Now before you panic, this doesn’t mean you can never eat dessert again for the rest of your life.

It’s just seven days.

The goal isn’t punishment. The goal is awareness.

Sugar sneaks into way more things than we realize, and taking a short break can help reset cravings and energy levels.

If a whole week feels like too much, start with one or two days.

Remember: progress over perfection.

Always.

A Little Reality Check

Will I eat perfectly this week?

Absolutely not.

There will probably still be nights where dinner is a little chaotic, and someone ends up eating cereal.

But if I drink more water, add more protein, sneak in a few vegetables, and think a little more intentionally about food…

That’s a win.

And if you do the same?

That’s a win too.

Remember, we’re not trying to become new people overnight.

We’re just getting 1% better every day.
