Your New Year Challenge Checklist! [2025]

On Monday, January 6th, we're starting the New Year Challenge together!

To help prepare, scroll down for my official New Year Challenge Checklist!

1. Grab your Meal Plan.

This year, we're focused on burning fat while keeping muscle ~ aka body recomposition. So we'll be using the 6 Week Body Recomposition Meal Plan throughout the challenge!

You can grab it HERE to use for the Challenge.

2. Set a goal.

This doesn't have to be weight loss, but make it something measurable. Even if it's "stick to the protocols throughout the entire 6 weeks of the challenge" or "hit my daily protein needs", then that's a great goal!

If your goal is weight loss, I've found it useful to take a baseline body fat/muscle mass test and photos before the challenge starts. This will help you get more accurate information regarding your progress than a typical scale. You can find recommendations for how to track your progress in the 6 Week Body Recomposition Meal Plan.

3. Grab your protein

Protein is essential to achieve a body recomposition goal (this is where you lose body fat without losing muscle mass).

For a simple, easy and delicious protein powder, stock up on my Pasture-Raised Protein HERE.

You'll be whipping up delish, protein-packed meals with it like my Immunity Booster Smoothie, AEN French Toastie and Tropical Lemon Chia Pudding alllll challenge long 😋

4. Join the AEN Private Facebook Group.

This is an excellent way to keep yourself accountable and share your journey throughout the Challenge with thousands of other AENpeeps. Head over HERE and say hello!

5. Join me LIVE on YouTube every week of the Challenge!

I'll be going LIVE on YouTube each week of the New Year Challenge to share with you additional tips, strategies AND some live Q+A! Make sure you're subscribed to my channel HERE with notifications turned on so you don't miss out!

The first YouTube livestream will be held on Monday, January 6th at 12:30pm PST.
