Client FAQ
Contact SupportCan you email me the content and workouts?
If you wish to get email support, we do provide daily emails. You can access all content on the faster way app as well.
Does it matter what time of day I do my workouts?
Nope! Fit them in when you can.
Do I have to make separate meals for myself from what my family eats?
You can certainly share the same meals with your spouse and children, but note that your family may have additional nutritional needs.
Are all workouts done while in a fasted state, or only the cardio workouts?
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.
Will I be fasting every day?
Yes. This program is called the FASTer Way to Fat Loss because we focus on implementing cutting-edge nutrition strategies like intermittent fasting.
What is carb cycling?
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. We base our cycle on the workouts we will be doing to maximize fat burn and energy levels.
What is a macro? Is there such a thing as a micro?
A "macronutrient" (aka macro) is a type of food (e.g. fat, protein, carbohydrate) required in large amounts in the human diet. A micro, or micronutrient, is a chemical element or substance required in trace amounts for the normal growth and development of living organisms (vitamins, minerals, etc.).
Is this program suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Yes! We promote eating all whole foods that fit your lifestyle choices. We have many participants who are vegan and experience great results. We now offer a weekly vegan meal plan, snack guide, and plant-based protein guide.
I'm making a grocery list—what can I eat? What can't I eat?
The faster way is not an "Eat this, not that" lifestyle. We will teach you what foods are whole, healthy, and beneficial to your body and how to incorporate treats in a healthy manner. Our weekly meal plan also offers a full grocery list to assist you in planning and prepping for your week.

I'm going on vacation—can I still do this program? Do I have to do it while on vacation?
You don't have to do the program on vacation but we think you'll find it easy enough that you'll want to! Do go enjoy your time, rest is very important. We hope to equip you with some great techniques to use wherever you are without feeling like you're on a “diet.”
I like to run and be active outdoors. Can I still do this program or will I be too hungry?
Absolutely! If you are hungry while on the program, we change your macros to meet your needs!
I have worked very hard to lose a lot of weight and am scared that your program will make me gain weight back—are you sure I will be okay?
Yes! However, we want you to keep an open mind, stay positive and trust the process of the program. We do not focus on weight gain or weight loss, we focus on non-scale victories, body composition changes, and daily wins, rather than a number on the scale.
I have more than 40 pounds of weight to lose, can I do this program?
Yes, many clients have 40+ pounds to lose and see incredible success.
I have bad knees, how can I modify the program?
While we do have a low-impact version of workouts, they are not necessary to do the program. Make nutrition your focus and add in walks and low-impact workouts that are provided as you deem necessary.
I get dizzy or nauseated if I don't have breakfast, so how can I skip it?
The program offers guidance for you, and your certified coach will check on you—be sure to let him or her know about this medical issue! We also discuss how to adjust for this in the app essentials.
I don't want to lose weight, I only want to learn how to eat healthy—is this program still good for me?
Absolutely! This program is about training our bodies to transition from sugar-burning to fat-burning. Weight loss is coincidental for those with a lot of weight to lose. The goal of this program is to build lean muscle, establish hormonal health and lose any excess fat.
How often will I get to talk with Amanda, the creator of the FASTer Way?
Amanda will be on live video for trainings and workouts on a regular basis, but due to the high volume of clients, she is not available for individual consultations.
Do I need to purchase any shakes or supplements for this program?
No! Throughout the program we will talk about the importance of probiotics, protein, and other supplements like BCAA’s. 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.
Do I need to join a gym? Will having a gym membership help see better results?
We offer gym, at-home, and low impact workouts. They are all effective and you are welcome to do any of them.
Do I have to follow a strict meal plan to do this program?
We provide a weekly meal plan for our clients. We have both a regular meal plan and vegan meal plan. This is simply a guide for our clients’ convenience and not required to follow the program.
Is the men’s program different from the women's?
As a community, we complete the same food cycle and workouts. Men, do have different nutrition directions— specifically on low carb days.
Can I still drink alcohol during this program?
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 really need, limit it to one serving on Leg Day (as your treat)
