Not a diet. Eight weeks of real food — no calorie counting, no white-knuckling — that recalibrates your appetite, so sugar stops running the show. Planned and done for you.

It's your blood sugar doing exactly what it should after the breakfast you were sold as "healthy". Sugar is hidden in three of every four packaged foods on the shelf — you are making hundreds of food decisions a day against a system designed to beat you.
Not a diet. Eight weeks is long enough to reset your palate and steady your blood sugar — and short enough to actually finish.
The hidden sugar comes out. Cravings loosen their grip.
The 3pm crash fades. Mornings stop starting with a spike.
Deeper sleep, and a calmer, more even head.
No white-knuckling. The new normal holds on its own.
Sweet is the three-second decoy. What sugar does after you swallow is the part the research keeps getting louder about.
Four of every five teaspoons never came from the sugar bowl. They're built into everyday "healthy" food — added on your behalf, whether you wanted them or not.
Every spike is followed by a dip, on schedule. The dip is the fog, the flatness and the reach for the next hit. Not weakness — chemistry.
Steady the blood sugar for a few weeks and energy, inflammation, hormones, skin and mood tend to walk back the other way.
No forums to keep up with, no calls to make. Just the week, laid out — as much or as little of the "why" as you want.
The week explained simply — what to do and why it works — in about fifteen minutes.
Omnivore or vegetarian, summer or winter, metric or imperial — with gluten-free, dairy-free and Paleo swaps on every recipe. Fuss-free, densely nutritious, built for wherever you live.
Customised to your life, and there to troubleshoot any question the moment it comes up.
The science behind the week, in plain English. Understand it, and it sticks.
Gentle and genuinely sustainable — never punishing, never all-or-nothing.
The small, real-life hacks that make eating this way easy to keep up.
The more you know, the more you know.
Sage learns your life and answers the real questions the moment they land. No forum to search, no waiting — just the nudge that keeps the week on track.
Savoury, protein-forward and family-friendly — 200+ more inside, with a plan and shopping list that write themselves.
The benefits people mentioned most, in their own words, after finishing the eight weeks.
The benefits mentioned most by 192 graduates who completed the 8-Week Program and shared their experience. These are outcomes people reported spontaneously — not a clinical measure, and not a promise. Individual results vary.
Whether it's weight, energy, medication or just feeling like themselves — almost everyone who finishes has a story. The before-and-afters up top are these same graduates, eight weeks apart.
"I've lost 16 kilos, my skin has cleared, my eyes are brighter, and my blood pressure is normal after years of being high."
"It completely transformed my anxiety. Like a whole layer lifted off me."
"My sugar and cholesterol are down — and I no longer take blood-pressure medication, alongside my GP."
"The best part isn't the number on the scale — it's that I don't spend my whole day thinking about food anymore."
"Corny as it sounds — it really is life-changing. It teaches you skills for life."
"The flare-ups are less frequent and less intense. Nothing else has ever done that for me."
"Once you get past the detox you realise your mood is tied to what you eat. I feel so much better."
"I had next to no pain — and I conceived my youngest first try."
"The experts across nutrition and mental health were brilliant. I'd join again in a heartbeat."

Yes — quitting sugar isn't about quitting what you enjoy. Wine (especially red) and dry spirits like gin and vodka are naturally low in fructose; it's the dessert wines, "sparkling" and sugary mixers that spike you. A glass with dinner, in moderation, is fine — though many people find their tolerance drops once the sugar's gone.
Yes. This isn't low-carb or anti-bread — it targets added sugar, not real food. Sourdough is our pick (the fermentation is gentler on your blood sugar); as a rule of thumb, look for a loaf with 4g of sugar per 100g or less.
Yes, in moderation — and go dark. Cacao itself is barely sugar; it's what's added that isn't. Look for 85% or higher and you're mostly eating the good stuff. It's paused during the detox weeks, then a little good dark chocolate comes back.
During the two-week detox we ask you to pause fruit while your palate resets, then bring it back from around Week 6. It's short, it's deliberate, and it's the fastest way to turn the sweet-tooth dial down.
Yes — keep your coffee. Just mind what goes in it: the two sugars and the flavoured syrup are the issue, not the coffee itself.
During the detox we pause all of them — honey, maple, agave, the lot. Sweet is sweet as far as your brain is concerned, and the whole point is to reset how much you need.
No. It's real, protein-forward food and you eat properly. Most people are surprised how full and steady they feel once the sugar rollercoaster stops.
Neither. You'll eat carbs. The program goes after added and hidden sugar — not whole foods, and not a whole food group.
Yes — it's built for anyone. Real food, no calorie counting, no gendered nonsense. Plenty of couples and whole households do it together.
Some graduates do; many don't set out to. We lead with energy, sleep, cravings and mood rather than the scale — that's where the honest, lasting change tends to show up first. Outcomes vary.
Yes — and it can be especially worthwhile then, including if you have gestational diabetes. This isn't about deprivation or calorie counting; it's about steadying your blood sugar, which is good for you and your growing baby. As always, talk it through with your doctor or midwife first.
So had most of our 500,000 graduates. This isn't a diet — it's an eight-week education in how your own body works, so the change holds after week eight instead of unravelling.
That's exactly who it's built for. The plan and shopping list are done for you, and many meals are under 15 minutes.
No. One payment of $130 — the program, every recipe and Sage, your coach. Nothing recurring, ever. Or split it into 4 × $32.50 with Afterpay.
Founded in 2011 by Sarah Wilson, and run today under the IQS team — 15 years, half a million graduates, the same real-food, science-backed approach.
The crash gone. The cravings quiet. Food off your mind and your body working with you again — not a plan you white-knuckle through, but the way you eat from here.
