My name is Chantel Ray, and I run a multi-million-dollar real estate company.  I’m not a medical doctor or a nutritionist; I actually have my degree in mathematics.  I'm a 44-year old mother to a 17-year-old daughter and an eight-year-old son.  I have a loving husband who owns a competing real estate company and has always called me beautiful, even at my highest weight. “Yeah, that’s great Chantel, but what makes you qualified to write a book or develop a weight loss course 

I may not be a doctor, nutritionist, fitness trainer or anything like that, but I am someone who, like you, has spent most of her life obsessing over diets and struggling with her weight.  If I could gather up all the pounds I've gained, lost, and gained again, I could build a whole new person.

I have tried almost every weight loss strategy that’s out there.  I’ve read almost every weight loss book.  The topic of weight loss is something I have always been passionate about even when success escaped me.  I'm the kind of person to walk right up to a thin stranger in the gym and ask, "What did you have for breakfast?"  You can see how direct I am! 

A lot of this is a combination of information I wrung out of my thin friends, personal research, and the "secret sauce" that finally cracked the code for me and my weight loss.  That "secret sauce" is heavily based on the technique known as intermittent fasting.  You see, I was raised to believe that I could do anything I set my mind to, but for some reason I just couldn't seem to lose weight.  This plan that I developed around fasting got rid of all of the complicated dieting rules I struggled with and gave me back control in the one area of my life I didn’t have it. 

If you’re sick of trying to find the perfect diet that fits you, and you’re ready to finally move over and do it God’s way, then this is the plan for you!  On this plan, you’re not going to deprive yourself of the foods that you want.  You’re going to learn how to listen to your body and regain self-control in your life when it comes to food.  When you're finished with this course, you're going to be empowered with the tools to never stress about losing weight again!

In the first edition of my book, Waist Away: The Chantel Ray Way, I presented 10 Chantel Ray Way Rules, 10 Biblical Principles with the practice of intermittent fasting. My readers told me twenty concepts was too much to memorize, and I want to help make this easy for you! So, now everything you’re going to learn in this course is still based on those twenty concepts, but I’ve slimmed everything into five easy-to-remember parts, using the acronym FIRES: Fast on a regular basis; Identify True Hunger; Reduce sugar and white simple carbs; Enjoy real food without deprivation; Stop before you’re full. This course will focus on those 5 concepts as the keys to your weight loss success!
