Enjoy Brunch AND Burn Fat: 4 Core Strategies for Results
Let’s break it down. At the FASTer Way, we’re not about obsessively counting calories or skipping the fun stuff. Instead, we focus on science-backed strategies that help you feel amazing, burn fat, and fuel your body—without deprivation. When you fuel your body with the good stuff the majority of the time, you can strategically fit in special treats without the guilt.
1. Intermittent Fasting: Not a Diet–It’s an Eating Schedule
Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet–it’s simply an eating schedule. By eating within a certain timeframe, you not only give your gut digestive rest, but you allow your body to switch into fat burning mode during your fasting window. This allows for flexibility in enjoying an occasional treat when paired with fueling our body well the majority of the time.
With our signature 16:8 intermittent fasting protocol, you fast for 16 hours and eat during an 8-hour window. That means if you stop eating after dinner around 6-7pm, you’ll break your fast at 10-11am.
Perfect for Easter Brunch: Break your fast around 10-11am and enjoy a high-protein, nutrient-dense meal that fuels your body and keeps you burning fat all day.
Why Intermittent Fasting works:
- Boosts insulin sensitivity
- Promotes fat utilization (aka burns fat for fuel!)
- Reduces inflammation
- Helps optimize hormones
- Increases energy and focus
- Allows for digestive rest and improved gut health
Some clients prefer to start with a 12 hour overnight fast for digestive rest. This is a great place to start as you work toward a 16:8 fasting protocol for those additional fat-burning, autophagy and health benefits.
2. Carb Cycling: Create Metabolic Flexibility & Train Your Body to Burn Fat as Fuel
We don’t fear carbs—we just know how to use them. Carb cycling allows you to strategically alternate between low-carb and regular-carb days to keep your body guessing, optimize hormone health, and crush plateaus.
Why Carb Cycling Works:
- Fires up your metabolism
- Supports thyroid health (key for midlife women!)
- Gives you energy for workouts
- Reduces cravings without restriction
- Creates metabolic flexibility and provides the fat-burning benefits of a low-carb diet without the hormone disruption that comes from following a low-carb long term.
Yes, you can enjoy our French Toast Casserole and Cranberry Orange Muffins at your Easter meal—just pair them with lean protein and healthy fats to keep blood sugar steady and cravings in check.
3. Strategically Pairing Nutrition + Workouts for Maximum Fat Burn
One of the most powerful aspects of the FASTer Way is how we strategically pair your nutrition with your workouts—so meals like Easter brunch actually work for your goals. When you consume the right balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats after a strength training session or on a regular-carb day, your body uses that fuel to build lean muscle instead of storing it as fat.
Lean muscle is metabolically active, which means it burns more calories—even at rest. So instead of worrying about what’s on your plate, you’ll know exactly how to time and fuel your meals to build strength, boost your metabolism, and support long-term fat loss.
Why Pairing Workouts with Nutrition Works:
- Maximizes fat burning: Pairing low-carb days with HIIT workouts forces your body to tap into fat stores for energy.
- Builds lean muscle: Fueling strength training with carbs supports muscle growth, which boosts your resting metabolic rate.
- Improves workout performance: Eating the right foods at the right time gives you the energy to train harder and recover faster.
- Reduces fat storage: Timing carbs around workouts ensures they’re used for fuel or muscle repair—not stored as fat.
- Supports hormone balance: Strategic nutrition helps stabilize blood sugar and cortisol, keeping hormones in check.
- Enhances body composition: You’ll lose fat, maintain (or build) muscle, and reveal a stronger, leaner physique.
At the FASTer Way, we pair low-carb days with HIIT workouts to tap into your body’s fat stores for energy. When you reduce carb intake temporarily, your glycogen stores (your body’s quick energy source) get depleted—so your body is forced to burn fat as fuel during those high-intensity sessions.
On the flip side, we pair regular-carb days with strength training to fuel your lifts and build lean muscle, which is the key to a faster metabolism. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest—even while you’re binge-watching Netflix or sleeping. It’s a smart, sustainable approach that trains your body to become a fat-burning machine while still enjoying delicious meals and living your life.
4. Macro-Based Nutrition: No More Guesswork
Forget calorie counting and the “eat less more more” approach that leads to burnout and hormonal imbalances. At FASTer Way, we teach you how to eat the right balance of macronutrients—protein, carbs, and fat— for your body, hormones and goals..
Here’s Why Macro-Based Nutrition Works:
- Protein builds and preserves lean muscle
- Carbs give you energy and support your metabolism
- Healthy fats keep your hormones happy and your belly full
And no worries if you're not a numbers person—our FASTer Way to Fat Loss app does all the tracking for you. Just snap a photo of your meal, speak into your phone or follow our recipes, and you're golden.

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cups all-purpose, gluten-free flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp sea salt
2 eggs
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk yogurt
¼ cup coconut cream
½ cup coconut sugar
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tsps vanilla extract
2 tsps brown sugar (for filling)
1 ½ tsps cinnamon (for filling)
⅓ cup ghee (melted)
¼ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tsps unsweetened almond milk (for glaze)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350℉. Generously mist a 9-inch round springform pan or 9-inch round or square cake pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined into a thick batter.
2. Pour half the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to spread evenly.
3. To make the cinnamon roll filling, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted ghee in a small bowl.
4. Next, spoon a little less than half of the cinnamon roll filling onto the coffee cake batter in the pan, and carefully spread it out evenly over the entire batter surface.
5. Pour the remaining coffee cake batter over the filling layer. Use a spatula to carefully smooth it out. Don’t worry if the batter doesn’t perfectly cover the filling layer.
6. Finally, pour the remainder of the cinnamon roll filling in a circular swirl pattern over the batter. Start at the center and work outward. You may need to re-whisk it quickly first. Use a butter knife or spatula to help shape and spread the filling in a swirl pattern. This should make the unbaked coffee cake look like one large cinnamon roll. It doesn’t need to be perfect as the batter will bake up around the filling swirl.
7. Place the baking pan on the middle rack of the oven. Bake approx. 35 minutes (until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean). Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Then remove from the pan and cut into slices.
8. To make the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly or fully cooled cake, or over individual slices just before serving.
