My Fave FASTer Way to Fat Loss Recipes

Sharing my favorite FASTer Way to Fat Loss recipes for low carb and regular macro days. Explore the benefits of the program while still enjoying delicious meals.
I’ve been following the FASTer Way to Fat Loss over a year now! (Read my full FASTer Way review here.)
When I first started the program I felt a bit overwhelmed with how to hit my macros (and eat enough protein). I was always trying to figure out exactly what I needed to eat each day and find recipes that fit with the FWTFL plan, especially during the first six weeks when you’re supposed to avoid dairy and gluten.
If you’re following the program, you’ll know that they provide a weekly meal plan (a regular and vegan version). The meal plan can be found in the mobile app and you can download a pdf with the meals and recipes via the desktop app as well. I’ve been using the meal plan for ideas more recently just because I was getting bored with our weekly rotation. Plus, sometimes it’s nice to have someone else plan your meals and I’ve found that the meals are super easy to make too, which is awesome for me as busy mama! We recently made the air fryer meatballs and my kids loved them!
With that in mind, I thought it would be nice to put a little resource together with my favorite FWTFL recipes! You’re likely familiar but the program emphasizes balanced nutrition focused on whole foods and strategic carb cycling to optimize fat loss and overall health. So for this guide I’m breaking down the recipes into low carb day recipes, regular macro day recipes and low macro day recipes.

Throughout the process I’ve learned so much. As a health coach I thought I was eating healthy, but after tracking macros for a few weeks I realized there’s a big difference between “eating healthy” and eating for my goals (building strength and losing fat). Previous to the program I wasn’t eating nearly enough protein and it’s one of the big reasons I was struggling to build muscle and lose fat and feel confident in my body.
I was excited to find this list, except probably half or more contain dairy which is not allowed on the Faster Way program.
Hi Angela – While the program does recommend eliminating dairy and gluten from your diet as they are inflammatory I personally choose to continue to eat dairy, especially Greek yogurt and cottage cheese, because I really love it and it helps me reach my protein goals. I don’t eat gluten often, but I’ll have every so often. That’s the nice thing about this program, you can customize it to work for you!
I sort of understand that, but it seems to me I’d you are a coach for the program, you should be recommending recipes that fit with the program as it’s written. I signed up for the next round with Loren and came here to get recipe ideas as I know you follow the plan. Just my personal opinion.
Hi Angela – Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally understand where you’re coming from. I actually just became a FASTer Way coach this month, and this particular post was written before that transition. That said, many of my newer recipes do align with FASTer Way principles, dairy-free, gluten-free and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods with plenty of protein and fiber.
I appreciate you being here and sharing your feedback — it means a lot! Hope you enjoy your round with Loren!
Thank you so much! I started FWTFL in Nov 24. I still struggle with meal planning and diet. For the past 2 mos. I’ve been going through some family problems and have fallen away. Diet affects emotions. I’ve got to get back on track! Thank you so much for offering this! It will help me tremendously! You just saved me.
So glad this post came at the right time for you, Cheryl. I’m sorry to hear things have been tough and it’s easy to fall out of routine when life gets heavy. I’ve been there too, and I’m cheering you on as you get back on track. I’m so happy these recipes can support you. Thanks for the kind words!
