If you already have an established workout routine that you love, we recommend sticking with it as you get started. If not, we recommend first focusing on changing the way you EAT before worrying about incorporating exercise and fitness into your routine, as changing your food will be responsible for approximately 95% of your results.

Once you move into Phase 2, you'll learn how and when to begin introducing exercise into your weight loss plan and what types of exercises are recommended to burn fat and build your lean muscle mass in order to accelerate your results.

The Thin Adapted System was specifically designed to help busy women in their 40's, 50's, and 60's discover a new way of eating that actually works for the way they live their lives.

While ALL our welcome in our program, we also know that women over 40 face some unique challenges when it comes to weight loss in terms of both hormonal changes and demands on your time. We address both.

That's why our program is easy to follow, infinitely flexible and completely satiating (because let's face it—you don't have time to be hungry all the time!).

Our Meal Plans and Zero Deprivation Cookbook feature low carb/keto friendly and almost entirely gluten-free. While many of our recipes do contain meat, fish, dairy and other items that may not fit within your own dietary preferences, an endless number of substitutions are possible (and easy!)

Our program is designed to be flexible, and to work for your schedule. All of our in-depth curriculum lessons, as well as all bonus lessons, have been pre-recorded and added to our course portal for you to watch on your own time, at your own convenience, which makes it super easy to make the program work with any schedule. Many of our members tell us they watch each lesson multiple times, so it's nice to always have access when you need it.

For those who join the Platinum or Diamond levels, we provide a monthly schedule for live group coaching and accountability calls, which are scheduled at a variety of times throughout the week to help accommodate all different time zones and schedules. That said, all our calls are recorded and available to watch later for anyone who cannot attend live.

The Thin Adapted System™ (which we refer to as TAS) is our comprehensive signature program, designed to help you lose weight and dramatically improve your health by fixing the root causes of weight gain and hormonal imbalance.

Our program is split into the following phases:

PHASE 0 | PREPARE

During Phase 0 – the Prepare phase – you’ll get introduced to the program via our 10-day Jumpstart. This phase is designed to help you gain confidence in the kitchen, plan your first week of meals, gather your supplies, and take our Starting Assessment. This phase will fully prepare you for successfully starting Phase 1.

PHASE 1 | ACCLIMATE

During Phase 1—the Acclimate phase—your primary goal is to switch your body from burning carbs to burning fat as its default source of fuel and to become fully Thin Adapted.

During this phase, which typically lasts for 4-6 weeks, you can expect to lose some weight—typically between 7-15 pounds—but in order for your body to continue burning fat you will need to move into Phase 2.

PHASE 2 | IGNITE (Weight Loss Mode!)

Phase 2—the Ignite phase—begins once your body has become fully Thin Adapted. You’ll know you’ve made the switch when you feel a significant increase in energy, as well as a marked decrease in hunger, and you will continue to lose weight at a steady pace.

We split this phase into two sub-phases—Phase 2A, Spark and Phase 2B, Flame. In Phase 2A you will adjust your macros, then begin incorporating new elements such as intermittent fasting and Protein Fast Days into your routine to help accelerate your fat loss.

In Phase 2B, you will begin incorporating Fat Burning workouts, as well as adding in supplements to help build strength and enhance your results. You’ll be ready to move to Phase 2B when you’ve completed your Phase 2A checklist.

PHASE 3 | MAINTAIN

Phase 3 begins once you have reached your weight loss goal. This is where the Thin Adapted System becomes part of your everyday lifestyle—a way of eating that is easy to stick to, even as part of a busy life, and never feels restrictive or cumbersome.

Our TAS Program walks you through each of these three phases in meticulous detail, providing you with both practical instruction and a clear understanding of the underlying metabolic science, so that you can begin to confidently make better choices that lead to long-term, sustainable results.

Our physician-approved TAS program is designed for anyone who is ready to commit to the Thinlicious way of eating for a lifetime. It is a comprehensive program that combines solid, well-researched metabolic science with simple-to-follow guidelines and delicious, easy-to-prepare food, as well as deep mindset shifts and strategic strength training in order to help you create lasting, sustainable changes in your life and your health.

While we encourage all of our Thin Adapted System participants to follow @thinliciouslife and @ruthsoukup on Instagram to get daily tips and a behind-the-scenes look at the Thinlicious lifestyle in action, it is not absolutely necessary to be on social media to participate in this program.

That said, if you are not on Facebook you will potentially miss out on some of the community elements of the program. If this is the case, we encourage you to create a temporary account so that you can participate in our incredible community!

Thinlicious™ and the Thin Adapted System™ are not intended to be a crash diet, because we know that diets don't work. Instead, they are intended to be a new and delicious way of eating that you can easily maintain for life. As with any type of weight loss program, results from TAS will vary and be largely impacted by a number of factors.

That said, our participants typically see noticeable results within 2 weeks of starting the program and have lost anywhere from 15- 40 pounds in the first 3 months, and as much as 60 pounds in 6 months. Please note that these stats are NOT meant to be a guarantee and are for reference only.

We've done our best to make food prep on our plan as simple and painless as possible.

First, all of our recipes are designed to be quick, easy and absolutely delicious. Most can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. Not only that, it's food you'll actually enjoy eating and food the rest of your family will happily eat right alongside you! (We promise they won't even know it's healthy!)

We also provide complete shopping lists for each week's plan, along with weekly "prep ahead" guides, so that you don't have to waste time figuring out what you'll need. This step alone will save you hours!

That said, our program is also easy to follow on the go, whether you're constantly eating out or on the road. We have customers who haven't cooked a single recipe but have still been successful following our plan guidelines. Just check out Anne's story!

With more than 100 recipes to choose from, there is definitely something for (almost) everyone in the Thin Adapted System.

Many of our recipes are already gluten-free, dairy-free, low calorie or low carb, and many others can be easily modified to suit your unique dietary needs.

While we do have vegetarians (and even a few vegans) in our program, you should know this is definitely a program that focuses heavily on eating plenty of nutrient-dense, protein-rich foods, which include a lot of meat. Please take this into consideration before joining the program.

We know you still have to live your life and that your busy schedule won't slow down just because you decided to get healthy! That's why our plan is designed to be super flexible and why you can substitute any of our recipes at any time with either another Thinlicious recipe or with an option from our Wild Card list.

You will receive your enrollment confirmation within 5-10 minutes of purchase, along with your access to the membership portal, which is where your program resources will be hosted.

We encourage you to complete the lessons on the schedule that works for you, but our recommendation is to watch one lesson per week over the course of 12 weeks.

Please note, you will only have access to the Thin Adapted System while you have an active membership. Once you cancel, or if your payment defaults, you will lose access and you will not be eligible to rejoin for 30 days.

We know that if you do the work, you will achieve results in our program. We put a tremendous amount of time and energy into this program, and our customers experience those results when they follow our program guidelines.

Due to the digital nature of our course, we are not able to provide a refund for any reason.

Your Thin Adapted System login will be delivered digitally, via the email address you provide at checkout. It should arrive within 5-10 minutes of your purchase.
