FASTer way to fat loss program

I am just finishing week 5!
This journey has been AMAZING and I LOVE IT. The 16/8 fasting is SO EASY. The Carb cycling sounds crazy, but it works. I didn't start noticing changes until week 3, when a bra I bought had been a bit too small to hook & it fit. Since then, my favorite pairs of "active" wear, mostly PJ pants, have all gotten looser. My energy levels are balancing out. I have recently had a sinus infection and not once did I feel like I needed different foods. I don't get headaches from any of it. Honestly, the hardest is part is all the food I eat. It takes 2 weeks to get used to eating so much. Learning to meal plan effectively has been a huge benefit. Switching from counting stupid calories to counting macros is not only easy but took the stress out of what I am eating. For me, FWTFL has, so far, been everything it was cracked up to be.
Good luck, ladies. I hope you enjoy the program as much as I am. I just signed up for Round #2 because I love how I feel & the progress I am seeing.

Counting Macros is essentially the same as counting "stupid calories" as per gram Protein = 4 calories, Carbs = 4 calories and Fat = 9 calories

Sooooo you're basically paying $199 for someone to tell you eat one less meal and use those calories later in the day so you can eat more at your other 2 meals? (So you can remain in a calorie deficit but eat higher volume)

Their website has all sorts of red flags:

The person who created it is a "Certified Nutrition Coach" anyone can pick up a nutrition coach certificate online unlike a Registered Dietician who has to be degree qualified

Sell merchandise and offers members the chance to "coach their own groups"

Sells Juice Cleanses and Overpriced supplements.

Here's some info on carb cycling from someone who is actually qualified: https://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/0718p10.shtml

While I don’t subscribe to “programs” like this, I DO subscribe to IF/OMAD. I DO NOT count calories/macros or anything else. The magic is in the fasting, NOT the feasting. Down 70+ lbs in 8 months, enjoying my food and my life.

I completed the 6 week round 2 weeks ago. So it's been 2 months since I started. I have lost 15 pounds and didn't do the workouts - not that I recommend skipping excerise, but I got phenomenal results with just the dietary tweaks. Had I worked out, my results would have been even better. This all happened while consuming 2,000 calories a day. Monday and Tuesday are low carb days - 50 net carbs and Wednesday-Sunday my carb goal was over 230g a day! That's a lot of fruit, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, oatmeal, rice, etc. I didn't have to consume any nasty powdered shakes or do any crazy cleanses. The program also gives you a treat on the weekend as long as it fits in your macros. This program is super sustainable and intuitive and is made for the long haul, not a quick fix. If you are on the fence and can swing the cost, I absolutely recommend you try it. Not everyone has the same experience perhaps but it's a total game changer for me.

One more thing - if you think of this as a diet and not a life-style change, you will likely not make the nutritional changes that lead to significant, long-term results. The truth is, this is NOT a diet but rather a scientifically based approach to nutrition. I still eat carbs, I still enjoy treats, I still enjoy cocktails, but I am aware of my macro needs and can use that skill of tracking them to more efficiently fuel myself and do the things.
