A carb cycling program is an intentional variation of carbohydrate intake each week. Most carb cycling plans consist of high-carb days and low-carb days. The FASTer Way to Fat Loss pairs our carb cycle with the workouts we will be doing to maximize fat burn and energy levels.

Long-term restriction of carbohydrates and calories can lower your metabolic rate and negatively affect your hormone levels. This is a big reason women find themselves at one of those weight loss plateaus. For a short period, a significantly restrictive diet will bring results; however, over time, it will cause your metabolic rate to decrease. Once that happens, you will see your weight loss stop and need to restrict calories even further to lose more weight, thus lowering your metabolic rate again. Not only is this an unhealthy way to live, but it is also incredibly frustrating.

      Carb cycling allows for planned high-carb days that increase your thyroid output and help you control hunger. Because you are cycling your carbs, you will also have low-carb days that offset your high-carb days. With this type of cycle, you will continue to see fat loss, increased energy levels, and improvements to your overall body composition. Carb cycling improves insulin levels, helping your body store less fat. Carb cycling can help you break through those dreaded plateaus to truly look and feel your very best when paired with intermittent fasting and effective workouts.

      Intermittent fasting is not a type of diet but an eating schedule. Your body is always in one of two states—fed or fasted. In the fed state (anytime your body is digesting food), your body’s elevated insulin levels make burning fat a challenge. However, in the fasted state (8-12 hours after your body finishes digesting), your insulin levels are lower and better able to reach your fat stores. People rarely go into a fasted state throughout the day. The traditional theory of several small daily meals keeps us from ever reaching the fasted state. In addition, that type of eating schedule regularly spikes our insulin levels, hindering fat loss. So, while eating several small meals daily can lead to weight loss (calorie deficits always do), you will likely lose both muscle and fat. When you lose calorie-burning muscle, you lower your metabolic rate and make it harder for your body to burn fat. You also might become frustrated because you never feel toned and fit, even though you work out and eat clean.

Yes. This program is called the Faster Way To Fat Loss because we focus on implementing cutting-edge nutrition strategies like intermittent fasting.

We suggest you avoid alcohol as your body will prioritize metabolizing alcohol over any other process (such as fat burning) for up to 24 hours. If it's a treat you need, limit it to one serving on leg day (as your treat).

We provide a weekly meal plan for our clients. We have both a regular meal plan and a vegan meal plan. This is simply a guide for our client’s convenience and does not require the client to follow the program.

No! The program will discuss the importance of probiotics, protein, collagen, and other supplements like BCAAs. While we are happy to share the products we use and love, none of them are required to participate. At the FASTer Way, we are huge proponents of fueling the body with real food, and this program is based on that premise. Nothing is required but hard work, commitment, and positivity.

All of the workouts may be done when they fit your schedule the best. They do not have to be done fasted, but you may do them fasted.

Yes, you can still do the FASTer way with some modifications! We will listen to your body throughout the program and continually monitor your milk supply. However, when you eat the foods God intended for you to eat (an adequate amount of whole foods and water), you won’t see a decrease in milk supply. He’s designed our bodies intentionally, so fueling them well will not affect that. However, we will be sure to check on your caloric intake because when you live in a calorie deficit and do crazy, intense workouts, your milk supply can be affected. The FASTer Way is designed to fuel your body in a perfectly safe way for nursing moms. However, I always suggest consulting with your physician as well.

Yes, the Faster Way to Fat Loss is a great keto transition plan to bust through plateaus.
