For years, getting into the FASTer Way worked the same way. You found me, you waited for the next 6-week start date, you gave it everything for six weeks, & then you decided whether to keep going. So many of you kept going, & those are the women whose stories I get to share all the time. But I also watched a lot of women finish week six feeling amazing & stop right before the part that makes results last. That part lived in VIP the whole time.

So we changed it. There are no more 6-week start dates, at least for now & probably for good. Everyone comes straight into VIP, whether you’re brand new to me, coming back after time away, or switching over from another coach. You don’t have to wait for a calendar to tell you when you can start taking care of yourself. You start the day you decide to.

This is your 101 on the new FASTer Way: what changed, why we changed it, everything you get, & how to start.

Why we went straight to VIP

Six weeks is a great start & a terrible finish line.

Six weeks gives you enough time to learn the foundation, your macros, your fasting window, carb cycling, & how to train for the body you have right now. It doesn’t give you enough time to learn what comes next, & what comes next is where most women get stuck. Your body is smart. When you stay in a fat loss phase too long, it adapts to protect you. Your energy dips, your hunger gets loud, your sleep gets worse, & your body shifts into survival mode instead of letting go of fat. That’s the moment so many women decide the program stopped working & go looking for the next thing.

The answer isn’t pushing harder. It’s knowing when to pull back. Strategic cuts, maintenance phases, refeeds, & reverse dieting, the full picture of what sustainable looks like. That education has always lived in VIP, & women used to have to finish six weeks before they got it. Now you get it from your very first day.

I wanted every woman who joins to get the full experience right away, the same coaching, education & community my longest clients have.

My client Katy has been with me in VIP for 3.5 years. Part of healing her metabolism meant being willing to gain 30 pounds first, which is about the scariest thing you can ask a woman to do. She trusted the process, & her latest DEXA scan showed 14 pounds of fat gone, more muscle, & her body fat in a healthy range. A TSA agent took one look at her arms & told her not to hurt anybody. Every body moves at its own pace & Katy’s story is hers, but that kind of change was never going to fit inside six weeks.

Meet Lumi

In September I spent a week in Costa Rica with Amanda Tress & a small group of coaches getting the first look at the new FASTer Way app, & y’all, I came home SO excited! Built inside the app is Lumi, an AI assistant that knows your macros, your workouts & your goals, & puts your day in front of you already built.

Here’s what Lumi does for you:

• Logs your food however you want to log it, by typing, by voice, or by snapping a photo of your plate. Your recents & favorites show up automatically, so the meals you eat every week take seconds.
• Answers your questions in real time. You can ask “what should I eat for lunch,” “what should I eat to get 40g of protein at breakfast,” or “can you plan my meals for tomorrow so I can nail my macros,” & you can ask program questions about fasting or carb cycling whenever they come up.
• Checks in with you during the day. Lumi will tell you you’re at 40 of 70 on water & it’s time for a refill, or suggest a walk to chip away at your step goal.
• Remembers your past conversations, so her feedback gets more personal the longer you use her.
• Syncs your steps through Apple Health, with Oura, Apple Watch, Whoop & more.
• Keeps a timeline of everything you’ve tracked, so you can see your progress add up.

You can also post a selfie & a comment in our community right inside the app after you finish your workout, which is my favorite way to cheer you on.

What I want you to hear is that Lumi doesn’t replace your coach. You still have me, my team & this community, because the tech isn’t what makes women follow through. The people are. Lumi takes the guesswork & the mental load off your plate so you can spend your energy on living your life.

If you’re already a member, you’re moving over to the new app this month as your data transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions

I did the 6-week program a few years ago. Where do I start now?
Right in VIP, same as everyone else. A lot has changed since you were last here, including a whole new app, so start with your free custom plan. I’ll build it around where your body is today, not where it was back then.

I’ve never tracked macros or tried fasting. Will VIP be over my head?
You don’t need to know a single thing before you join. From day one you get your macros, your workouts & your weekly meal plans, & my team & the community are there for every question you have. Lumi can also answer your fasting & carb cycling questions inside the app anytime, even at 9pm when you don’t feel like digging through a guide.

I’ve tried so many programs & nothing worked. Why would this be different?
I hear this more than anything else, & I want you to know it’s not a willpower problem. Most programs ask you to eat less & move more until your body pushes back. Your body is not broken. The strategy you were handed is. VIP teaches you when to push & when to pull back, so you’re not starting over every few months. My client Sarah just celebrated a year in VIP, & she’ll tell you it hasn’t been perfect. Some days she misses her step goal & some days her nutrition falls short, & she has still gained strength, energy & confidence she didn’t have when she started.

I’m in perimenopause, or I have PCOS or hypothyroidism. Will this work for my body?
Women in perimenopause, menopause & postmenopause do well in this program, & so do postpartum women, women with PCOS, hypothyroidism & adrenal fatigue, & cancer survivors. Your custom plan takes your situation into account from the start. If you’re pregnant, talk with your doctor before joining, & for questions about medications or a diagnosis, your healthcare provider is always the right first call.

How much time does this take?
Workouts are 30 minutes a day & you don’t need a gym. Logging your food takes a few seconds with Lumi, by typing, by voice, or by snapping a photo of your plate, & your favorites fill in automatically.

I’m working with another FASTer Way coach. Can I switch to you?
Yes, you can switch into my VIP anytime. I would love to be your coach! Email me at info@lorenmattingly.com for next steps!

I’m already a member. What changes for me?
You’re moving over to the new app with Lumi this month while your data transfers. Keep an eye out for updates from FASTer Way as your account moves over.

How much is VIP, & am I locked in?
VIP is $79/month with code VIP2026 at checkout, & that discount applies every month, not just the first. There’s no long-term contract. You can cancel anytime as long as it’s at least 14 days before your next billing date by emailing clientsuccess@fasterwaytofatloss.com.
