Our VIP Membership is going vegan for a month! We’ll be participating in a plant-based challenge for the month of February, and we can’t wait!! We’ve been working with a chef to develop delicious recipes for our meal plan and we have some delicious meals in store!

Our regular meal plans will still be available, so if you’re in our VIP Membership you’ll have access to both!

Perfection is a myth, so we believe in focusing on PROGRESS. This past Friday, our community shared their biggest wins and we are thrilled to hear so many accomplishments and non scale victories!

“My biggest win is booking an appointment with a functional medicine dr in my area that comes highly recommended!!!! Looking forward to moving my health as a top priority in 2020.”

“Completing the 24-hour fast was huge for me yesterday and I made it all 24 hours! Blocked out the noise and did not let myself be tempted. It was mentally and physically what I needed. Feeling strong this week and ready to carry it into the weekend and beyond.

“My biggest win is fitting into that pair of jeans a week earlier than my goal date (my 42nd birthday next week)!

“I started Faster Way in September. Never could I imagine the transformation in my body. I recently went away on cacation. None of my Summer clothes fit me!! Not even a belt could help.”

Our FASTer Way community is absolutely crushing it and we are honored to be a part of the journey!

Reflect on the past week and write down your biggest wins!

All with the help of our science-backed strategies, and you guessed it, carbs!⠀ ⠀ "The old me was tired all the time, doing low carb as much as possible, depriving myself from foods that I enjoyed and some days only eating one meal a day. The new me now has more energy than ever, and is eating ALL the foods that I love (CARBS) and more of it!!!! Y’all, the FASTer Way is the real deal. I’ve never had this much food freedom and grace with any diet that I’ve done. This is no diet - it truly is a lifestyle change." -@stacyjane95 How long will you sit on the sidelines?! Show @thefastingfox some love for her incredible journey living the FASTer Way lifestyle with a 👏 in the comments! We are so proud of you!⠀ ⠀ "After sitting on the sidelines for nearly 2 years seeing Amanda share amazing testimonies about the FASTer Way and changing lives EVERY day, I decided to give it a try. I had never tracked macros before and was a dedicated breakfast eater immediately after waking up but that all changed and for the better! Not only did I lose 30lbs (and have kept it OFF!) I lost a tremendous amount of inches , put on lean muscle mass and most importantly, changed my relationship with food! I’ve been practicing the FASTer Way lifestyle for nearly 1 1/2 years now-it is sustainable, practical, and life changing!" -Amanda All right FASTer Way fam, let’s hear it! What’s your leg day treat going to be today? 🍩 Tell us in the comments what you’ll be enjoying! Who is ready for plant based inspiration? As we head into our February challenge with our VIP community, we will be sharing quick recipes and tips to help you succeed! We love this easy to build #buddhabowl from @ginaa_marie99! “Buddha bowl with crispy baked tofu, #chickpeas, #kale, beetroot, avocado, hummus, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and sweet potato #fries 😋 Would loooove to have this bowl right now. Anyone else?🌱” We’re gearing up for an entire month of plant-based eating in our VIP membership. Will you be joining us? We can’t wait to get rolling! If you’re a little worried about making the transition, then we’re here to help!⠀ ⠀ It’s easy to get your macros from plants when you know what to eat! ⠀ ⠀ PROTEIN⠀ Protein fuels our systems and our muscles! It helps build hair, collagen, nails, and even our internal systems. Most people think of meat when they think of protein, but vegans can get plenty of protein every day, too!⠀ ⠀ Good plant-based sources of protein include:⠀ 🌱Lentils⠀ 🌱Tofu⠀ 🌱Edamame⠀ 🌱Chickpeas⠀ 🌱Quinoa⠀ 🌱Legumes⠀ 🌱Nuts ⠀ ⠀ CARBS⠀ We need carbs for energy, but we need to eat the right kind. Carbs generally get a bad rap because we often think of junk food when we think of carbs (donuts, chips, fries, etc.). Instead, think of high-carb whole foods to meet your macronutrient goals. ⠀ ⠀ Some great choices include:⠀ 🍠Quinoa⠀ 🍠Oats⠀ 🍠Buckwheat⠀ 🍠Bananas⠀ 🍠Sweet potatoes⠀ 🍠Oranges⠀ 🍠Blueberries⠀ 🍠Beans⠀ 🍠Millet ⠀ 🍠Couscous ⠀ ⠀ The list could go on and on because carbs are plentiful in plant foods!⠀ ⠀ FAT⠀ Let’s bust a favorite myth in the fitness industry. Friends, eating fat does NOT make you fat! ⠀ In fact, if you look at the trend of rising obesity rates, everything shot through the roof when we went low fat in the 1980s. Our bodies NEED fat because fat is essential for cell growth, proper absorption of some nutrients, producing hormones, keeping us satiated, and more.⠀ It’s time to stop being afraid of fat—so let’s learn which fats are best for us to consume! At the FASTer Way to Fat Loss, we encourage healthy fats with food choices like:⠀ ⠀ 🥑Avocado⠀ 🥑Coconut oil⠀ 🥑Nut butter⠀ 🥑Olives ⠀ ⠀ The most successful “diet” isn’t low carb, low fat, or any other kind of extreme. It’s balanced macros with a focus on nutrient-dense whole foods. When you join a program like the FASTer Way to Fat Loss, we’ll teach you how to set your macros (because there is no one-size-fits-all answer) and we’ll make sure you build a solid foundation for a truly healthy lifestyle.⠀ ⠀ Tag a friend that will be doing the Plant-Based Challenge with you!! Only accept a donut that can do it all.🤪 Share with a friend who needs to know. Happy Saturday FASTer Way Family!🎉
