FAQS

The FAQ's are organized into categories to help you find the answer to your question:


1. CUSTOMER SERVICE

Please note that although I would love to have all the time in the world to help every one of you personally, I receive a very high volume of emails daily. It's not possible for me to respond directly to all emails that are sent to me. Note that high priority is given to paying customers, and depending on the request, the reply to your inquiry may come from a member of my support team.

4. E-Book Downloads and The Fat Loss Fast System

1. What is the Fat Loss Fast System?

The Fat Loss Fast System is a sustainable approach to nutrition. This comprehensive e-Book teaches you the HOW and WHY of intermittent fasting and flexible dieting. It also comes with over 65 recipes. It's a digital product (e-Book). Please click here to learn about the Fat Loss Fast System.


2. Can I download the Fat Loss Fast System e-Book to my Mobile Phone?

All materials are DIGITAL and sent to you INSTANTLY in PDF format. Nothing will be physically mailed to you. Download to any computer or iPad, just NOT a phone. Instant download means you can START TODAY!

It's really easy to lose the link if you download it to a phone. Even though you can download and save the e-Book(s) to iBooks on your iPhone (not android), it's not recommended to do so because of the large file size and because it will be hard to read them on a small screen. Make sure you save a back-up copy somewhere else first.


3. How do I save my Fat Loss Fast System e-Book. What happens if I don’t save my e-Book?

The Fat Loss Fast System e-Book is available to you immediately upon receipt of payment.

Please check the email address you used to purchase the Fat Loss Fast System e-Book because this is the email address to which your e-Book will be sent.

Once your e-Book has been downloaded, it is your responsibility to it them and/or print it. Please do this immediately because the link for the e-Book will expire in 30 days. It is recommended to keep a back up copy. Should you lose your e-Book after the link has expired, you will have to purchase it again, just as you would with paper books bought at any bookstore.

If you do not receive the link upon purchase, please email us immediately at support@drsarasolomon.com and you will receive a reply within 24 hours. Note that no password is required to download or print the e-Book.

Remember: Do NOT download it to a mobile phone, or you will lose the link.

  • If you are NOT using an apple product, it is recommended to download a free Adobe PDF reader to your tablet or computer, as this will allow you to open and view the saved e-Books.
  • It’s also possible to save the e-Books to your Kindle. Kindly contact the Kindle customer service the learn how.
  • For apple products: you can save the e-Books to your iPad, iPhone, MacBook Laptop or iMac Desktop if you download the PDF and then immediately save it in iBooks. For iPads: a little window will show up with a button that says “open in iBooks”. You want to click this, and then wait a second as the file is transferred to iBooks (click here for help). Now, even though you can download and save the e-Book(s) to iBooks on your iPhone (not android), it's not recommended to do so because of the large file size and because it will be hard to read them on a small screen (so make sure you save a back-up copy first).
  • Check your downloads folder if you can’t find the file.

7. I have food sensitivities and/or I follow a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. Does that mean the Fat Loss Fast System won't work for me?

My Fat Loss Fast System is NOT a meal plan. It's FLEXIBLE DIETING. Therefore, you tailor everything to your palate and unique situation on a daily basis. The beauty of my program is that you can substitute foods in all of my recipes (or any recipes, for that matter!). So if you are sensitive to shrimp, you can use chicken or tofu instead (or whatever you prefer). If you don’t like broccoli, you can use green beans instead, et. cetera. Welcome to the freedom! That's why it's maintainable.

 


5. INTERMITTENT FASTING

I recommend you read my Intermittent Fasting FAQs. People who are really serious about taking their results to the next level implement my Fat Loss Fast System. My comprehensive system leaves no stone unturned. It will answer your questions.

DISCLAIMER: intermittent fasting is not for everyone. Consult with your physician before commencing intermittent fasting.

NOTE: Some people complain of headaches and nausea when they first start fasting. For the majority of people, these symptoms go away after 2 weeks. As always, consult with your physician.


6. FLEXIBLE DIETING (CALORIES & MACROS)

1. What is Flexible Dieting?

Flexible Dieting is also referred to as “If It Fits Your Macros” (IIFYM). The IIFYM approach to diet allows for greater flexibility with your food selection because your focus is on the nutrients rather than the food source. In other words, it is NOT a meal plan.


2. I have food sensitivities and/or I follow a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. Does that mean I can't follow your program?

The beauty of flexible dieting is that you can substitute foods in all of my recipes. So if you are sensitive to shrimp, you can use chicken or tofu instead (or whatever you prefer). If you don’t like broccoli, you can use green beans instead, et. cetera. The concept of flexible dieting is that you do not follow a meal plan or a cookie cutter approach to recipes. Rather, you tailor everything to your palate and unique situation.

3. Do I have to "eat back" the calories I burned during my workout IN ADDITION TO my daily caloric requirement?

NO! Don't do that unless you want to gain fat!

If your energy intake (ie. the calories you ingest) is greater than your energy output, then you will gain fat.

When you calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE, which is the same as your maintenance level calories), this takes into consideration your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR, which is your metabolic rate at rest) PLUS all the the calories you burn during the day from TEF (Thermic Effect of Food), volitional activity thermogenesis (ie. your workout) and NEAT(Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis).

Hypothetically speaking, let's say your BMR is 1260 calories and your TDEE (ie. maintenance level calories) is 1730. We already established the TDEE takes into consideration the calories your burn when you exercise, run errands, do chores, work on the job, digest your food, stay alive and subconsciously fidget. Therefore, if you eat your maintenance level of calories PLUS the calories your burn during your exercise session, then you will be eating in caloric surplus and you will store fat.
