You don't have a willpower problem.
If you've been dieting most of your life, you know the drill. Count the calories. Choose low-fat. Eat less, move more. Be good all day, then find yourself in the biscuit tin at 9pm.
Most women struggling with weight don't have a willpower problem. They're fighting cravings, habits and the body's natural response to modern, processed food.
And in midlife it gets harder. Some people can moderate sugar, but hormonal, menopausal women are often more carb-sensitive. Even savoury foods made with refined starches act like sugar and keep the cravings going.
It's not you, it's biology.
This isn't a diet. It's food freedom.
When you feed yourself enough, snacking falls away.
The Nu:Way 28-Day Plan isn't about eating less. It's about eating right.
What you get
Every week gives you everything you need to shop, cook and eat:
- A see-at-a-glance weekly meal plan: 3 proper meals a day, with swaps, options and batch-cook hacks
- Recipes: easy, everyday food in the right quantities to keep you full and satisfied
- A done-for-you shopping list
- A mindset and nutrition module
Four weeks, all planned out for you
- Week 1: The Science Behind the Plan: Why this works. What happens in your body when sugars, grains and starches hit a woman who is carb-sensitive, insulin-resistant or living with PCOS, and what GLP-1, insulin and cortisol have to do with cravings.
- Week 2: Habit-Breaker Cheat Codes: Simple ways to change your mindset and your habits around food, so the new way of eating starts to feel normal.
- Week 3: Your Mindfulness Guide: A 7-day walk-through of the best ways to slow down and be present with yourself and your meals.
- Week 4: Your Emotional-Eating SOS: What to do when phantom hunger, driven by emotions, strikes, so you stay on track on the hard days too.
Plus answers to the questions everyone asks: I don't have time to cook, will this work for me? How much butter can I have? What do I eat instead of rice? I don't eat meat, what can I have instead? What if I get hungry by mid-morning?

Who am I, and how can I help you?
Who am I, and how can I help you?
I'm Sarah Spendiff, a recovered food addict. I've spent over 20 years in food recovery circles, looking for what really works long term, and I wrote The Sugar & Carb Escape Key.
Like you, I was brought up on calorie counting and low fat. So many of us believed the calories-in, calories-out mantra that never worked. We were left hungry, failing, and blaming ourselves.
Then I found a new way, through a mix of science and food recovery. In my late 50s I lost 60lbs in total, the first 46lbs in the first 6 months. Today I'm healthier and happier than I was in my 30s.
That's why I founded Nu:Way. The goal is not to be skinny, but to live peacefully with food. Start with the 28-day plan, then adapt it to suit your life, for good. It becomes a way of life, not a diet.
Everyone's body is different, and results vary.
- Find peace with food: stop the obsession and the food noise.
- Master cravings: learn what triggers them and how to eat so they don't take hold.
- Feel good in your clothes: calm, confident and comfortable again.
- Take it anywhere: social events, holidays, eating out.
There is only one kind of diet that actually works, and that's a sustainable one.

Is this for you?
This is for you if:
- You're a midlife woman who's tried everything: Slimming World, WW, keto, the lot
- You're a yo-yo dieter, fed up of starting again every Monday
- You battle cravings, food noise or emotional eating
- You've noticed stubborn weight creeping on around the menopause
- You want better control over sugar and carbs
- You're thinking about weight-loss jabs or surgery, and want to try real food first
- You cook for a family and need meals everyone will eat
This isn't for you if:
This isn't for you if:
- You want a quick fix or a crash diet
- You'd rather count calories, points or syns
- You want shakes, pills or supplements to do the work
- You want live, one-to-one coaching (this is a do-it-yourself plan, with email support)
Eat 3 proper meals a day. Every day. Never feel deprived again.
For 28 days you eat real food: good protein, plenty of vegetables and real fats like butter, oil and mayo, in big, hearty meals that keep you satisfied from one meal to the next. Without processed foods, hidden sugars and refined carbs, your blood sugar can steady, the cravings quieten and the food noise starts to settle.
No calorie counting. No points. No tiny portions or miserable salads. No supplements, teas or positive mantras required.
What women say about Nu:Way
Many of these women followed the plan when it was called the 28-Day Challenge. Individual results vary.
“I always succumbed to my sweet tooth but since I started the NuWay 28 Day Challenge I’ve completely lost compulsion to gorge on cakes and I don’t snack between meals anymore either. Another BIG THING is I enjoy what I eat because the oil, butter and mayo make meals so delicious. I’m a fan of this plan and I’m carrying on.”
— Diane Culverhouse
“It’s all really good psychologically for me and physically. I've only been following the NuWay 28-Day Challenge for two weeks now but already I feel healthier, I feel more in control, I feel empowered. I feel more disciplined and that really is my goal, to be more disciplined. Thank you for this wonderful way of eating.”
— Marie Black
“I am two weeks into the meal plan on the 28-Day Challenge and can honestly say I am blown away as not only have I lost over half a stone, I feel and look so much better already. I have no cravings for all those foods I used to eat uncontrollably. All cravings and obsession gone! I am excited for the coming months.”
— Fiona Thomas
“I would DEFINITELY recommend the 28-day challenge. The best thing was LOSING THE DESIRE TO EAT SWEET THINGS - I know this will be a long-term change. This challenge pulled together all the things I suspected about the food industry and made it make sense.”
— Amanda Stuart
“I allowed myself to be emotionally and physically yanked around by food. Sometimes lifted, sometimes numbed. Today, thanks to the 28-Day Challenge and the NuWay Program we eat mindfully, food is sourced and crafted and celebrated and shared. Food is no longer a drug, it’s self-love. And taste and freshness is paramount to your/our/my Nu:Way.”
— Debra Horton
“The plan's really easy to follow. I really like the list of foods you provided, and, to be honest, for me, that's more useful than the recipes. Although some of them look amazing. I'm enjoying it more than I expected. I've not got any scales here, so I don't know about weight, but I've lost 2.5 cm off my waist in just over 2 weeks following the meal plans in the 28-Day Challenge.”
— Dawn O'H
Your questions answered
What exactly am I buying?
The Nu:Way 28-Day Plan: four weeks of meal plans, recipes, shopping lists and mindset and nutrition modules, plus your questions answered personally by email. It's a do-it-yourself plan you follow at home. It costs £27, one time. No subscription.
What happens after I pay?
Your plan arrives in your inbox straight away, as an instant download, so you can do your shop and start today.
Will my family eat this?
Yes. It's proper home cooking, not "diet food": meat, fish, eggs, plenty of veg and tasty sauces. The swaps make it easy to put rice, pasta or bread on the side for anyone who wants it, so you cook one meal, not two.
Isn't all that butter and fat bad for me?
Most of us were brought up to fear fat, and low-fat left us hungry and snacking. Real fats like butter, oil and mayo make meals satisfying, so you stay full until your next meal. The science module explains why. If your doctor has asked you to watch your cholesterol or heart health, have a chat with them first and take the plan along.
I'm not a good cook.
You don't need to be. These are easy, everyday meals. If you can chop, fry and roast, you can do this, and you can email me if you get stuck.
I don't have time.
The plan is built for busy lives. Your shopping list is done for you, the weekly plan ends the daily "what's for tea?", and the batch-cook hacks mean you cook once and eat twice.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Most women come to me after years of diets that didn't work, and that was never their fault. This plan works differently, because you eat enough. If you get stuck, email me and we'll work out what's going on together.
I don't eat meat. Can I still do it?
Yes. The swaps show you what to have instead.
I have a health condition or take medication.
If you have diabetes, take medication for blood sugar or blood pressure, are pregnant, or have any medical condition, speak to your GP before changing the way you eat.
Ready to finally understand why nothing else worked?
(Hint: it wasn't your fault.)
In the Nu:Way 28-Day Plan you'll learn:
- Why Slimming World, keto and WW fail so many women
- Why low-fat left you hungry and snacking
- Why calorie counting and carb cutting don't fix sugar and carb sensitivity
- Why other programmes don't give you enough food, and why that backfires
I've packed everything I've learned in 20 years of food recovery, and all the research behind The Sugar & Carb Escape Key, into these 28 days.
