Frequently Asked Questions

It is a 6-week program where we turn your body from a sugar burner into a fat burner. There are 3 main components that we roll out over the 6 weeks: intermittent fasting, counting macros & carb cycling. Don't worry, I teach you all my tips & tricks so that you can be as successful as possible - you will be a PRO in no time! It is a lifestyle change and something that you will be able to sustain indefinitely. You will finally learn how to properly fuel your body and be able to control your hunger. 

Many diets focus on what to eat, but intermittent fasting is all about when you eat.

With intermittent fasting, you only eat during a specific time. Fasting for a certain number of hours each day or eating just one meal a couple days a week, can help your body burn fat. And scientific evidence points to some health benefits, as well. There is a big difference in IF & "properly" IF. We do not skip breakfast; we simply move it over so that your body is able to go into a fat burning state.

Carbohydrates, fat and protein are called macronutrients. They are the nutrients you use in the largest amounts. Your body NEEDS these macros on a daily basis in order to survive. Counting macros may ensure that your macronutrient needs are being met. Macronutrient counting is an excellent tool for those looking to lose weight or build muscle. It can promote healthier eating and improved diet quality.

Carb cycling involves going back and forth between high-carb days and low-carb days. It is commonly used to lose fat, maintain physical performance while dieting, or overcome a weight-loss plateau. In short, carb cycling aims to time carbohydrate intake to when it provides maximum benefit and exclude carbs when they’re not needed.

YESSS! Just keep it under 50 calories, no added sugar or fiber. Unsweetened almond or coconut milk with no added sugars are great alternatives to creamer! Plus, I'll give you an entire list of options that I personally love when you sign up! 

Yes, this wouldn't be a lifestyle change if you couldn't do it indefinitely! However, this program will teach you SO much, and one of those things is how your body reacts to alcohol! Don't worry, you'll get all my macro-friendly cocktails! ;)

No. There are said to be some benefits to working out fasted, but a workout at any time is better than none at all in my opinion. Do what works for your schedule!

We aim to get within 5-10 grams +/- of each macro goal. On low carb days ONLY it's OK to be under your NET carb limit, but be sure to hit protein and fat goals.

It is recommended to try and eliminate them during your 6-week round. Many people do not know they have a sensitivity to these and both can be extremely inflammatory, so I say to eliminate them where you can (AKA "gluten & dairy light"), however you are able to make your own choice about including them.

No! It's a great way to be certain you are tracking accurately, but it is not a must. Be mindful of your portion sizes when guessing. Once you join, I'll be sharing all of my tips on using a scale that you'll always have with you...your hand!

You can have: coffee, tea, water (flavored and carbonated too - no sugar!), bone broth, BCAA's (with no sugar), and powdered collagen peptides (less than 50 calories!) If you can wait to take vitamins until you break your fast, that is best, however, if you must take medicine immediately, egg whites or bone broth (under 50 calories) are good options. 

Yes! I would never want you to give up something you love. We just want to be sure you are set up with your workout schedule and eating cycle properly so that you gain the most benefit! However, there is a reason you are looking into this program, so I would suggest at least trying these workouts out. They are typically 30 minutes or less but hiiiighly effective!  

It's best to stick as close to your fasting/eating window as you can, but there will be days you fast longer or shorter and that is totally OK! That's what I am here for...to help you through these things!

To be honest, I think it's the BEST thing you can do while pregnant. You are truly fueling your body in the best way possible, and your baby is going to directly benefit. However, we will need to make some tweaks, and that's what I am here for. I personally started my journey during my second pregnancy, and my post-partum journey was 10x better than my 1st pregnancy! 

You'll want to keep a close eye on your water intake, whether you are doing the program or not. On low carb days, we will adjust your net carbs & you will not participate in the 24-hour fast or low macro days. I will tweak fasting windows on an individual basis as well. Otherwise, my breastfeeding clients have stated an increase in energy levels, bloating, weight-loss and so much more while doing the program, including myself when I was breastfeeding! 

You are probably right. If you tried to IF without knowing how to properly do it...you would probably be starving. This is because you are currently a sugar-burner. Your body cycles through your glycogen levels extremely quick & you're most likely not giving it enough of the remaining macronutrients to "hold you over". My job is to turn your body into a fat-burner and teach you how to properly fuel your body so that you do not feel hungry during your fasting window & you can take advantage of burning fat during this time. 

Most definitely, YES! This is a LIFESTYLE. You will learn how to choose things on the menu that you love that will fit into your macros! Plus, I'll be giving you all my tips on eating out + on-the-go options! 

Listen, you have to eat...even when you're OTG. Right? You may as well learn how to fuel your body with the right foods in order to get to where you want to be. I will be giving you so many OTG options your head will be spinning!! 

Typically every 4-6 weeks. I depends on what I have going on. You can find my next round date here: https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/#sweatlikeamom
