I’ve been fasting for 32 hours now… and honestly, I feel surprisingly good! 🙌

The first 24 hours were tough — lots of mental battles and cravings — but now I feel clearer, lighter, and more focused.

It’s crazy how fasting reminds you that your body is capable of so much more than you think. 💪

🔥 FREE Sauna Sessions Giveaway! 🔥

I just went to Perspire Sauna Studio this morning — 40 minutes inside at 170 degrees, and oh my goodness… it feels soooo good! 🧖‍♀️✨

We actually have one here at our house, but sometimes it’s just fun to go out — new energy, new people, and a whole different vibe. There’s something about stepping out of your routine that makes it feel like a total reset. 💛

Did you know just 30 minutes in here can flush out more toxins than most workouts? Pair that with a 3-day fast, and it’s magical for your body, mind, and spirit. 🙌

This is your reminder: sweat it out, detox, fast, and refocus. 🌿
Start with a 24-hour fast or hop in a sauna — your body will thank you!

💥 Plus, I’ve got a few FREE session coupons for Perspire Sauna Studio!
I’m telling you… you need to try this. You’ll feel lighter, clearer, and completely recharged.

🌞 Motivation Monday

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 🌾
It’s Monday… and I’ll be honest, some weeks it’s harder to stay consistent. But this verse reminded me that every fast, every small decision to stay disciplined, every “no” to temptation — it’s all planting seeds. 🌱

Even when you don’t see results yet, your body and spirit are being renewed. Keep showing up. Keep trusting the process. God’s timing is always perfect. 🙏

💬 Question for you: What’s one small “seed” you’re planting this week in your fasting journey?

Good Morning, Non-toxic Fam!

This morning I reread a passage from one of the chapters in my book Fasting to Freedom, and it hit me all over again…

“When you’re hungry, you’re ready.
Hunger is the posture of pursuit.
Fasting takes that natural instinct and redirects it toward God.
You stop feasting on comfort and start craving communion.”

Every time I fast, I’m reminded that it’s not just about denying food — it’s about awakening my spirit. Hunger sharpens my focus. It quiets the noise. It reminds me that real satisfaction doesn’t come from a plate, but from His presence. 🙏

In those moments of weakness, that’s where my faith gets stronger. That’s where I learn to trust that God will sustain me — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

If this spoke to you, you can read the rest of this chapter (and so many more just like it) in my book Fasting to Freedom. It’s part of the Chantel Ray Way Book Bundle available now at chantelrayway.com 💛

✨ These books were written for anyone who wants to experience fasting not just as a diet — but as a doorway to deeper faith and lasting freedom.

💬 Question for you: When you’re fasting and hunger hits, what helps you shift your focus from food to faith?

10/22/2025

Oh my gosh, you guys — I’m so excited!

I’ve written another book!! 🙌
This one’s all about how to hear God — learning to recognize His voice in your everyday life. 💛

It’s about 95% done, but before I finish it… I need your help.
I’m looking for a few beta readers who want to get a sneak peek, give honest feedback, and help me make it even better.

Here’s what I need:
👉 First, tell me — which cover do you like best: #1 or #2?
👉 Then, if you’re willing to read the book and give feedback on what to move around or take out, I’ll pay you $15 for your time.

If you’d like to join the beta team, comment ME below and I’ll send you all the details! 🙏

Let’s make this book the best it can be together. 💛

10/21/2025

I woke up reading this verse and it hit me hard:

“But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” — Matthew 6:17-18

It reminded me that our fasting journey isn’t really about showing the world how disciplined we are—it’s about the quiet work God is doing inside of us. The cravings, the discipline, the hunger—they’re all tools to help us turn inward, listen more closely, and grow stronger.

✨ So here’s my reminder for today:
You don’t have to shout your efforts. You don’t have to perfect everything. God sees the hidden progress, the quiet wins, the decisions you make when nobody’s watching—and He rewards that.

💬 Question for you: What’s one “hidden” win you’ve had this week in your fasting journey—something maybe only you and God know?

Drop it below 👇 and let’s celebrate together!

Good Morning, Fasting Fam!

Omygosh... I was so happy reading this testimony when I woke up this morning!

“I was tired of counting calories and feeling trapped by food. When I read Waist Away, everything changed.
It taught me how to eat with freedom, listen to my body, and finally make fasting feel effortless — not like punishment.
I’m lighter, clearer, and more confident than I’ve ever been.”
— Rachel T., Waist Away Reader 💛

If you’ve been searching for something real — something that helps you enjoy food and still see amazing results — this book is it.

👉 Grab your copy (or the full Chantel Ray Way Book Bundle) today at chantelrayway website.

Each book builds on the next to help you find freedom in your fasting journey — body, mind, and spirit. ✨

This verse hit me today — “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will guide you on the right paths.” 💛

When it comes to fasting, health, or even our relationship with food — it’s so easy to overthink it, to lean on willpower, or to try to “figure it all out.” But sometimes, God just wants us to trust Him in the process.

Some days fasting feels effortless. Other days it’s a struggle. But through it all, He’s teaching us discipline, surrender, and how to listen — not just to our bodies, but to His voice. 🙏

✨ Today’s reminder:
You don’t have to do it perfectly.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
Just take the next right step and let God guide you.

💬 What’s one thing you’re trusting God with in your fasting journey this week?

Happy Monday, Non-Toxic fam!

I loved this reminder from Laura Lewis, one of our amazing guests on the Waist Away Podcast:

💬 “You’re always starting over — and that’s okay. The key is to start gently. Don’t jump straight into 18:6 or 24-hour fasts on day one. Just decide when to close your eating window, drink plain water, and start small.”

Such a good word for a Monday. 🙌
So many of us feel frustrated when we “fall off” our fasting rhythm — but the truth is, you’re never starting from zero. You’re just rebuilding your momentum. Every small, consistent choice adds up.

If you’ve been wanting to get back on track, my book Waist Away is the perfect place to start. It walks you through how I discovered intermittent fasting, what “thin eaters” really do, and how to make fasting a lifestyle instead of a temporary fix. 💕

and let’s start this week strong — one gentle step at a time.

💬 Question for you: What’s one small change you’re committing to this week to get back on track?

Happy Friday, fasting fam!

In this Friday throwback from the Waist Away Podcast, Dr. Steven Gundry dropped one of his classic lines:
🍌 “Give fruit the boot!”

He explained that great apes — like orangutans — only gain weight during fruit season, and that fructose was never meant to be available 365 days a year. Today, fruit is bred for extra sugar content… and for many of us, that constant access can totally derail our fasting goals. 😅

It’s such a good reminder that fasting isn’t just about when you eat — it’s also about what you choose to break your fast with. 🥦

That’s exactly what my book One Meal and a Tasting is all about — learning how to eat intentionally, listen to your body, and make OMAD a lifestyle you can actually enjoy long-term (without the guilt or confusion).

✨ If you’ve been trying to balance fasting with real, satisfying meals — this book will help you make it simple and sustainable.

👉 Grab your copy at chantelrayway.com and let’s keep growing in freedom, not restriction.

💬 Question for you: Do you still include fruit in your OMAD meals — or have you “given fruit the boot”? 🍎🚫

Let’s talk about something we don’t always think about — EMFs. 📱💡
They’re around us all the time… from our phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, even the smart meters on our homes.

One of our podcast guests shared some simple, practical tips that really made me think:
✨ Don’t sleep in the same room with your phone — distance is your best friend!
✨ Turn off your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth at night.
✨ Try grounding — walk barefoot on the grass or even hug a tree 🌳 (yes, really — it helps discharge built-up electricity in your body).
✨ Avoid looking at blue light before bed — your eyes and your sleep will thank you.

It’s crazy how small habits like these can make such a difference in how you feel — calmer, clearer, and more balanced. 🌿

💬 Question for you: Have you ever tried turning off your Wi-Fi at night or grounding barefoot outside?
Did you notice a difference in your energy or sleep?
