What to eat everyday, including recipes and grocery lists. Two months without meat and dairy, and at times fish and oil? We have you covered! The menus will keep you healthy, energized and worry free about what to cook.

This is one of our most loved features! Each day a quote from a Saint will appear, and an opportunity to practice structured and silent prayer will be offered. A daily exercise component via video with former Professional Triathlete, Nataliia Kravchuk is also helpful if you don't have your own exercise routine in place. You'll want to come here each day!

Don't spend 40 days eating "fast friendly" junkfood! It will only lead you toward the Nativity with higher stress, lower energy, and a compromised immune system. Cynthia Damaskos offers a weekly coaching session through interviews with other health coaches, doctors, etc, on a topic related to health of mind and body. These interviews will give you tools that will last a lifetime. Plus, you have an option to have your own personal plan developed based on your individual needs. If you choose the Personalized Plan, Cynthia will call during the program to set up a 1 hour health assessment, and create a plan just for you, based on your unique goals.

Interviews with priests, deacons, authors, etc., who will teach, inspire and support you during the journey. This year we have some wonderful interviews in store for you including, Father Wilbur Ellsworth, Fr. Michael Gillis, Fr. Peter Jon Gillquist, Michael Haldas, Elissa Bjeletich, and Fr. John Oliver. They all have a special message for you!

Do you feel alone during the fast, as many friends and family members focus on the secular trappings of the season? A private Facebook page is set up as an optional place to go to meet with Cynthia, converse with like-minded friends around the world, and share the journey leading up to the birth of Christ. The ability to communicate with each other is also available on the members only portion of the My Beautiful Advent website.
