Fat Loss Success Stories
I'm your host, Veronica Hugger, who at the age of 53 was ready to give up. I was living an unsustainable lifestyle of deprivation diets and endless exercise and not seeing the results I wanted or deserved. The strategy of "eat less" move more" was not working! By learning the FASTer Way of nutrition and fitness, I now live a 'healthstyle' which encourages me to eat right and motivates me to exercise efficiently. I eat more food now than ever! My FASTer Way coach continues to work with me so I have access to a personal trainer who manages my progress, answers my questions, and inspires me.
I was persuaded to try the FASTer Way after listening to stories from others who continue to succeed on the program. Over 440,000 people have gone through the FASTer Way starter program, so there are lots of success stories! On this podcast, you’ll hear conversational interviews with people with various relatable stories of struggle and success. And FASTer Way to Fat Loss Head Trainer, Le Bergin, helps explain the strategies of the program and offer helpful tips.
Just like someone else’s success story inspired me, sharing more success stories has the potential to encourage others to embrace and experience a healthier lifestyle…a “healthstyle”. And their shared stories will educate you, inspire you, and encourage you to accomplish your goals and to write your own Fat Loss Success Story!
If you're on the FASTer Way and ready to share your story, contact me to be on the show!

03: Intermittent Fasting: Not Just a Fad
Here’s your free introductory guide to intermittent fasting!
Intermittent fasting is one of the biggest weight-loss trends to arise in recent years. Yet it’s not a fad. New research is showing the profound benefits of eating only during limited hours. In this episode, I chat with FASTer Way to Fat Loss certified coach... Le Bergin …about a proven strategy to fat loss called intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting is restricting the amount of time you eat into a compressed window of time to allow your digestive system to rest when you are not eating. Basically, you eat the same amount of food every day, just in a shorter time.
Intermittent fasting encourages the body to burn fat while maintaining lean muscle mass, but because you’re mixing higher calorie consumption with lower calorie consumption periods, you don’t get as hungry as when you’re not eating. Unlike restricting calories, intermittent fasting does NOT lower the body’s basal metabolic rate long-term; in fact, it increases it! This makes intermittent fasting an incredibly effective weight loss strategy, even for obese people. Studies show IF to be more effective for weight loss than calorie restriction. Not only that, intermittent fasting is better at helping people maintain lean muscle mass than diets that simply restrict calories.
