Wow. Just wow.

I started the Fasting Method in October and have already lost 55 lbs. But it is less about the weight and more about how I feel and that I have a true guide to what my body is supposed to eat, when it's supposed to eat, and how. I am truly grateful I found the Fasting Method and would recommend it to everyone.

It was difficult for me to move around the website after I’d taken all the courses. I haven’t listened to any live webcasts so I’m debating whether or not to continue. I totally believe in fasting, 24 hour and longer.

There's just not enough community here

There's just not enough community here. No rich conversation, a general lack of community. Appreciate the experts but really not that helpful in support beyond answering specific questions. No magic.

I love the fasting method but I do have a few problems navigating their website.
My favorite thing is to go and listen to some videos or do training. I wish they had more training.

I love The Fasting Method

I love The Fasting Method. I joined because I needed help understanding how to implement it into my life confidently. I tried fasting on my own before, but I didn't know how to manage my eating windows and food choices, and I didn't know how to build my fasting muscle safely and effectively. The first thing I did was blitz through the lessons and read through as much of the resource material as I could. Then, I started with the online classes. THIS is really the goldmine of the whole program - coaches who are experts in the field and are qualified to navigate large-group discussions among members with a huge range of experience and success stories. If you aren't brave enough to join the conversation yourself, just listen long enough because someone is gonna talk about it eventually. But, if you are brave enough to join in, you will receive help and information that is specific to YOU! My only complaint so far is that I can never join some of the sessions because they happen during my work hours.

I don’t find the site as useful as I thought I would. I find the webinars occur at inconvenient times so I haven’t participated. That being said, there is an amazing amount of information on the site and I have benefitted greatly.

TFM- no one else comes close

I am the worlds biggest fan of TFM. (Actually, I’m sure they have tons of fans) But their first book, The Obesity Code, pulled me back from the brink of diabetes in 2016 and TFM, in the year I’ve been a member, has given me everything I never knew I always needed. Megan’s wealth of practical knowledge is unmatched in this space. The community is incredibly supportive and vital to member success. The coaches, each valuable for their individual experience/perspective round out this amazing offering. Honestly, no one else can do this as well. TFM has so much clinical experience with actually saving lives and limbs with therapeutic fasting that they are *the ones* to work with, for their target demographic, hands down.

I LOVE Using The Fasting Method to Take Control of My Health

The support and expert guidance from The Fasting Method helps me to stay metabolically and mentally healthy, especially necessary during this past year.

One of my favorite features of TFM is the ability to track my health, my waking glucose, my ketones, my GKI, weight, blood test results (ex. CRP, HbA1C, fasting insulin) via their built-in tracker powered by Heads Up, which I loved and used prior to joining TFM. My husband had been using the tracking system to monitor his health during his battle with cancer, now over five years in remission using keto and fasting as an adjunct to conventional treatment. I'm really excited to be able to historically graph my health, and even when I slip up and regress, I'm able to remember where I've been before to find my way back.

Megan Ramos and Dr. Jason Fung's educational videos, talks with other health experts (ex. Dr. Nasha Winters, Mark Sisson, Darryl Edwards), and fasting challenges -- all make it easy for me to feel like I have (or can easily regain) control of my health!
