10 most frequently asked questions about our 8-Week Program

Vegetarian? Paleo? Gluten free? Dairy free? You’d be well chuffed to know our Meal Plans are designed with flexibility in mind! You’ll have access to an Allergy Substitution Guide as well as helpful ingredient swapping advice. 

Note: While we support our vegan friends wanting to join the sugar-free movement, we cannot guarantee that the recommended daily levels of dietary fat and protein can be met in our vegetarian Meal Plans.

Our 8WP is all about mastering control of your cravings and treating your body with the respect it deserves, not just weight loss. Keep in mind that your body will be going through lots of changes - and since everybody and every body is different, results will vary. That said, when you quit sugar, you quit processed crap and for many people on the 8WP, the happy side-effect of this is weight loss.

No, we won’t send you out looking for gubinge and chlorella (whatever they are). Most pantry essentials should be available at any well-stocked supermarket or health food store. But if you can’t track down the ingredients you need, or if something is out of season in your part of the world, our Ambassadors are on standby in our live forums, ready to help if you get stuck!

We’ve had people join our Program that travel all the time. A great aspect about our Program is that you get the education you need to navigate and prepare food wherever life takes you. You also have access to everything for two weeks after the Program finishes so you can download what you need for later.

First up, don’t stress or beat yourself up about it! Remember that this is a gentle experiment on yourself. You’ll have support in our community forums from other people going through the same journey as you, as well as our team of experts such as dietitians, GPs, psychologists and life coaches.

We try to keep our menus as seasonal as possible, although they are geared toward the southern hemisphere. As with most things IQS, though, we invite you to experiment with ingredients, and modify the Program to suit your budget. On average, the Meal Plans cost around $100 AUD per week, however this may vary depending on how well stocked your pantry is already.

Yep! You will have access to a forum with IQS Experts, Ambassadors and other participants. Feel free to use those resources however you need!

Our Meal Plans and Shopping Lists are designed for one person, with most mid-week dinners providing two servings (one for dinner and one for lunch on the following day). However, they can be easily tweaked to cater for everyone, and we can always offer guidance with this via our online Forums.
