We dive right into the macronutrient modules that make up our food (protein, fat, and carbs).

Further we will cover the pros and cons of popular diets such as intermittent fasting, keto, and time restricted eating.

Our success stories

"During the eight weeks of Fat Loss Happens I lost 8.2 pounds, body fat decreased by 2.2 % and skeletal muscle increased by 1.2 %. Over the years/decades I have read countless books on diets and nutrition. None of them gave me the level of applicable scientific-based information that Tony and Hailey provided in this program. I feel empowered and confident about my body and the choices I can make to care for myself. Fast approaching 51 and already in menopause, I now feel confident about how I can age strong and healthy without following a diet that restricts food groups or requires “dieting.” Thank you Tony and Hailey!"

"The Fat Loss Happens program was a wonderful experience. The support and education I received gave me the tools and confidence to make lasting changes to my diet and fitness routine. One of my goals was to develop a habit of incorporating consistent strength training into my routine and the assigned and structured workouts made this possible. During the 9 week program I noticed improved strength and fitness and I can’t wait to continue this journey!"

Kristin S.

I have lost 5 kg (11 pounds) over the 8 weeks of this program. It came off slow and steady which is how we learned is best. I was injured for quite some time and was becoming very disappointed with the 10 kg I had gained over time. It almost got to the point where I gave up on myself. Maybe I am too old, maybe it is menopause. My mindset was getting very negative and hormones all over the place due to perimenopause. Your program has been an absolute blessing. I feel invigorated, rejuvenated, and stronger mentally and physically. I want to lose 5 more kg the right was as this program has taught me how to do and be the inspiring coach I once was, especially as I age gracefully. I am so thrilled with the weight I have lost and the muscle I have gained.

I am so thankful to have been a part of Fat Loss Happens! Tony and Hailey nailed this and helped me tremendously! I am 49, post menopausal, and was struggling with all that menopause did to my body. I have always been active and managed my weight easily, until I began going through menopause three years ago. The education Tony and Hailey provided about insulin resistance and the need to strength train to help combat the menopausal weight gain was spot on. Not only do they provide science based information to debunk all of the fad diets/programs out there, they provide great support to help you along your journey. Hailey always responded to my questions and if she was unable to answer them, she’d pass them along to Tony for his expertise. This is a great, solid program for anyone looking for the correct way to gain muscle, lose fat, gain insight, and debunk all of the mixed messages we hear on a daily basis about weight loss. Thank you Hailey and Tony for all the insight and support!

I have muscles in my 40’s that I never had in my 30’s. My strength is more than just physical. My transformation started first, when I decided I wanted change for myself and I was willing to do the work. Second, I learned the valuable information provided in this program. I feel like I have a degree in Exercise Sciences after this course. Like Maya Angalou said, ”when you know better, you do better." I have lost body fat. I have lost weight. More importantly, I’ve gained muscle. Best of all, I’ve gained the power to change the trajectory of the second half of my life.

I have done the fat loss group in the past but wasn’t as consistent as I was thing time around and the results speak for themselves. I was determined to dial in my macros and eliminate any margin of error by weighing all of my food, prioritize protein no matter what and follow the workouts diligently. I wasn’t perfect but I was 90% on target. I did a hydrostatic test before and after to track my results and this time around it really paid off. I did not have a lot of weight to lose but I lost 3.5 pounds of actual fat mass and less than a pound of lean muscle mass. I lost inches and I feel different in my clothes. This was so encouraging as I turn 54 in a month and proved to myself that it is possible to achieve goals …even at this stage of life. Hailey’s programs are expertly written and if you are accurate with your macros and consistent in the workouts…results will come. I can honestly say I am stronger than I was in my twenties and I feel great in my fifties!! Hailey’s programs provide you with all the tools to be successful and make lifestyle changes that will pay you dividends for years to come!!!

Thanks to you, Tony, AJ, Kim and others for all of the work you put into this program. I really enjoyed it and the education supporting the work was icing on the cake. The extra work (diet and strength) helped me see big improvements not only with weights in this program and changes in body composition, but it also transferred so well to my CrossFit work. It also helped my mindset and mood overall - I feel encouraged and much more enthusiastic in general, but especially about my fitness level and overall wellness.
