FASTer Way to Fat Loss

This app allows you to track water intake, macronutrient intake, workouts, and intermittent fasting times. It provides you whole food (not processed) recipes for the day to meet your food goals plus a wealth of all kinds of macro-friendly recipes! You can also perform the daily workouts that pair up with the amounts of fats/carbs/protein (macronutrients) you should ingest for the day. For example, you eat lower carbs but higher fat on the days you do HIIT. You receive a Star for each goal you reach each day and can receive free tshirts or other prizes. They rotate the strength workouts monthly so one month you might do super sets and the next month might do 1-2-3 pods or time under tension. It keeps the body guessing and is highly effective! So many great resources and trainings in here to live a healthy and fit lifestyle without starving yourself! Their process/setup is not like any other one I’ve seen. App is very easy to use.

I love this app! It’s easy to use and I can plug in a suggested meal plan for ease, search through a wide variety of recipes, find the ingredients and directions so easily to make the meals, find my workout of the day or pick my own from the digital library, find resources to learn more about core, mindset, hormones, etc. I can track my macros (whether I use the FW meal plans and recipes or my own), water intake, workouts, fasting to balance out my day for better health, my measurements and progress, as well as get support. And the incentives of stars and badges as I track is a fun addition. One suggestion is to make it possible to enter multiple foods for a meal rather than going back and forth. It is not difficult to enter foods by any stretch of the imagination but it could be simpler.

I’m new to the Faster Way program, so am not here to review it, rather I have a couple of comments for the developers about the app. First, for the most part the app is very intuitive. Everything required for tracking food and exercise is on the app, as well as dozens of resources at your fingertips. The app is attractively designed and easy to navigate, except…. PLEASE update the food log. Users should be able to add custom weights and measurements to their food. For example, if I’m weighing chicken, the only options I have for weights are pre-set. The only option to adjust the weight is to adjust how many servings of a specific weight I am logging. If I’m having 5.7 ounces of chicken, there should be an option to manually type “5.7”, rather than figuring out how many of the FW pre-set servings 5.7 is. I’ve used other food logging apps like Noom and My Fitness Pal that have this feature. It is a game changer for the user to be very specific about food weights and measurements, and clearly can be done. Second, please work on the navigability of adding items to meals and snacks. We should be able to add multiple items to a meal or snack without being taken back to the main nutrition menu, scrolling down to that meal or snack, then going through the entire process again for each subsequent food. For a program that costs $199, the app needs to step up its game and be much more user friendly.
