You've seen the ads. Maybe a friend of yours already posted her before-and-after. Maybe you're wondering if this is the one that finally works.
I'm talking about FASTer Way to Fat Loss: the 21-day program built on intermittent fasting, carb cycling, macro tracking, and daily workouts, all wrapped in "clinically proven" marketing.
I'm pulling apart the research behind each piece, digging into who's actually coaching people through hormone and GLP-1 protocols, and asking the question that matters most to me: is this going to help your relationship with food, or wreck it?
If you've ever wondered whether the "science-backed" claims on a diet program actually hold up or you've done a program like this and ended up more exhausted and food-obsessed than when you started, this episode is for you.
JUMP TO: [00:00] What is FASTer Way to Fat Loss? [03:56] The truth about intermittent fasting and the "fat-burning mode" myth [08:08] What the research actually says about carb cycling (spoiler: not much) [12:08] The problem with macro tracking when nobody qualified is behind the numbers [15:18] The workout split (and I'm not totally against it) [17:12] The coaching certifications that raised every red flag for me [21:07] Breaking down the "clinically proven" and "works with your hormones" claims [25:26] Who this program could genuinely hurt [34:14] What actually works instead of the flashy formula
If this episode brought up a lot of feelings about your own history with programs like this, Nourished & Free is where I help women build a relationship with food that doesn't depend on a fasting clock or a color-coded macro plan. The waitlist for the fall cohort is open now.
