While I’m working on my review, I wanted to share a video we shot during week 2 of the FASTer Way To Fat Loss program.
Unlike many other diet programs I have tried, this one does not tell you what to eat but rather gives you macronutrients guidelines. They have a few daily suggestions of what your diet might look like but the program wants you to find recipes you like and will make so that it becomes a lifestyle change! Once the program finished, I wanted to continue doing it. This is the first time that has ever happened with me and a diet program. I think this is also because I didn’t ban any foods and was pretty flexible.
This video follows a regular macro day which consists of 50% carbs, 30% fat and 20% protein. My goal was just under 2000 calories a day since I am nursing. Two days a week are low carb, three days are regular macro and two are low macro. Since I’m nursing, I did not do the low macro days. I followed a mostly gluten and dairy free diet but of course made exceptions along the way because life and birthday cake.
We filmed this video during week 2 of the Faster Way To Fat Loss program. I lost 5 lbs during 6 weeks and loved the program so much that I am going to become a coach. I am currently studying and would love for you to join me starting April 1st.

Here are a few more blog posts from my experience during the FWTFL program

The video ends kind of abrupt because life and I forgot to film the very end of the day. I had a giant bowl of the soup mentioned, which was a Crock Pot Sweet Potato Chili, here is the recipe.
The recipe is bean-less so it’s Whole30 and Paleo approved. I eat beans but I found it to be a good recipe to eat for the program and have on hand for the week! I like easy recipes and this one was for sure.
Hi Sarah!
How old was Connor when you starting FWTFL? I’m considering it post partum but not sure when I should start. Also-- in the beginning were you super hungry in the morning? I’m up around 5 am each day and the thought of not eating for 7 hours sounds impossible!
I started at 6 months. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend doing it sooner than that but you CAN. For nursing moms, you don’t have to do a 16:8 split. You can do a 12:12 and work your way up to a 15:9 and see how you feel. You can also adjust your window. If you’re up at 5 am, maybe eat at like 9 or 10 and be done by 6 pm?
Thank you so much! 12-12 to start sounds way more doable 🙂
Nursing I did 15/9 -- 16:8 was really hard for me to do!
Love this so much! I’m currently doing a round of FWTFL so I love seeing food ideas from other ladies doing the program!
