The FASTer Way to Fat Loss has helped countless women balance their hormones and get healthy, lean and fit…but it’s also helped them find freedom.
While I’ve never personally struggled with an eating disorder, being in the fitness industry has certainly tainted my view of diet and exercise. For years, those of us in the industry were told that it’s all about small meals, scattered throughout the day, insane-hour-long workouts, 5-6 days a week and regular weigh-ins to keep people motivated and on track. We not only learned that this was the best approach to getting in shape, but we preached these methods to our clients.
Today, we know better, but it’s still a fight to break past traditionally accepted methods of attaining health and staying fit. However, my clients have found freedom through the FASTer Way process and that freedom is priceless.
Here’s how it’s helped:
Food freedom.
I define food freedom as feeling in control of the food you eat instead of food controlling you. Indulging when it’s worth it, passing when it isn’t, and never feeling guilt or shame regarding your food choices.
- Food freedom is feeling like I can maintain this lifestyle for the rest of my life.
- Food freedom is feeling like food can be fun again.
- Food freedom is not having to worry about mini-meals shoved into containers every. single. day.
- Food freedom is not stressing about what to eat and when to eat on my busiest days.
- Food freedom is having no guilt or shame over my favorite indulgences or treats with my family.
- Food freedom is not having to worry about eating as soon as I get up and then again every two hours thereafter.
- Food freedom is not feeling enslaved to calorie counting.
Freedom from weigh-ins.
For years, I was told to do regular weigh-ins and I preached that to my clients as well. Some coaches did daily weigh-ins and no one did them less than weekly. The Biggest Loser and Weight Watchers are based around weigh-ins. Weigh-ins were the standard in the industry for YEARS. However, the FASTer Way has given me total freedom from having to weigh in. In fact, if I could, I would make everyone all across America throw out their scales. The scale truly can not measure your health, wellness or confidence. How you feel, how you look, and how much space you take up in your pants are far better indicators of overall well being than a number on the scale. The FASTer Way has given my clients freedom to ditch the scale and start focusing on their non-scale victories instead.
Freedom to rest and permission to scale back from workouts.
This is huge! After years of teaching classes at the gym for hour-long-insane workouts, 5-6 days a week (sometimes twice a day!) or training for long-course triathlons and marathons, the FASTer Way has finally given me the freedom to rest and scale back on my workouts. In fact, it is absolutely imperative to take time to rest and listen to our bodies. The type of workouts we’ve been told to do are actually what cause the symptoms of hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue and burnout. I have been there!
Through the FASTer Way, my clients and I have learned to work out smarter in just 30 minutes! We pair our food cycle with the workouts that will give us the most bang for our buck. We eat enough to fuel our more challenging workouts. We have incorporated 2 rest days a week because rest should be a priority!
The FASTer Way will give you energy, food freedom and get you lean, fit and strong, but more importantly, it will give you the same kind of freedom that both my clients and I have found.
My mission is to help you live your purpose and passion in life with ENERGY! Let me help you!!
