I love a great recipe book that has pictures of how it should look when done and plated. I’m old school so I printed all 3 books on card stock and placed them in clear protectors in a binder for the kitchen. I have also enjoyed making variations of what is in it to put a twist on the recipe and make it somewhat more mine. The Creami Ice Cream recipes are delicious and really satisfy the sweet tooth I have. I’m down a total of 99 lbs as of today and excited to try to get these last 30-35 lbs off and doing so in a (healthy swap) high protein way.

I’m loving these recipes so far! You’ve inspired me to not only want to cook but to eat healthy and track my macros. My favorite recipes so far have been the surf and turf crunch wraps and the Chick-Fil-A smash burgers. I look forward to continue cooking.

I’m not the best cook. With these recipes I’d be eating the same boring three meals every day, which usually leads to me falling off as soon as my girlfriend or friends want to eat out cause I’m dying for flavor. Now, I can enjoy great tasting meals that fit my goals that I know I would have never been able to come up with if I tried on my own. I did end up getting the app too, which has been really helpful for saving recipes and watching prep videos to help me visualize how the recipe should look. Overall 10/10 recommend.

These books have been a God send. I have been following Zach for a while now, and he has helped me lose over 100 pounds. Definitely recommend.

Zach's books are amazing! The recipes are easy to make with great directions. We've made several of the recipes - think PIZZA and ICE CREAM! WHAT on a diet??? Lower calorie food doesn't have to be boring! I highly recommend!

These recipe books have helped me to stay within my daily macros and still crush my cravings. They're easy to make, most of the ingredients were already in my pantry. Highly recommended for anyone looking to lose weight without sacrificing taste.

Zach’s recipes slap and he is a man of integrity. His personality comes thru his videos and you can taste the authenticity in every bite…hopefully that sounded as weird as it came out. The pizzas are a staple for my wife and I the past couple of years, and recently tried the Spicy McChicken…unREAL. Love FDL. Love Zach. Love this food. Buy the recipes immediately!

These have been an absolutely game changer for me. I started my weight loss journey August 2024. By Feb 2025 I started with some resistance training and it wasn’t until then that I talked to someone about nutrition and how much eating correctly would help with my progress in the gym. These recipes and the flex brands products have made it so I’m enjoying everything I’m eating. Doesn’t even seem like it’s any kind of diet. Love it

I would absolutely recommend these books. I love that there are videos and pictures of all the recipes. I’ve made the pizza several times and love the air fryer recipes. Also love the noodle egg roll in a bowl! Everything I’ve made is quick, convenient and extremely tasty.

I've given up many times. These recipes help me keep going and I lost 10lbs using these!

I just wanted to change how I ate and these have been helpful

Love these recipes! Truly a game changer

Yes YES YES YES YES YES TES YES YES YES TES

N/A - Want to get my macros on track and start eating good food that’s good for me

My weight was getting out if control. I could eat good for a day or too but the food was miserable and then I looked in the mirror, I was only getting bigger. depression sunk in and I would binge for the rest of the week. Being able to eat foods that feel like you're binging without actually binging, being able to eat food I like, I'm down 30 lbs and looking to drop another 30.

Tortillas are the bomb for variety! Pizza and pie crust are some non-traditional faves. Thanks for the foodspiration Zach!

It made cooking more fun. To see how delicious the meals look and not feel guilty for eating something so delicious felt like a cheat code in life.

I have not been on this food transformation long but it has done wonders already! It's great tasting food while eating healthy and the whole family (even the picky eaters) love all the recipes so far. I am excited to keep trying the other recipes we haven't explored yet

Hey Zack. I'm 61 years old. I'm a truck driver now & have put no 40#s n 3 years. I trained hard & constantly for 15 years (1992-2007). Then my dad passed away n 2007. Heartbroken for 12 years. Got obeese 305#s at 1 point. 2021 I decided to start training & dieting again. Followed Rem James & cookbook & by December of 2021 I dropped to 215#s. I followed to as soon as I saw ure channel. I'm looking right now to meal prep b4 I go on the road & cook at the end of my drive on the road with ure downloads sent to me through email! Bro u r changing my eating otr . So ty sir .

These recipes are crazy easy to make, high in protein and low calorie, which is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The tase is insanely good too! I never thought I’d be able to enjoy food like this while still meeting my goals!

Using these recipes along with the meal replacment shakes I was using helpmed me to shed 6kg in 4 weeeks..........yes you heard right. Taking the time to prepare and plan meals made all the difference and I feel so much better. I did all that shedding, with no exercise either. clean eating and clean living is what started the loss. I'm now planning to come back to exercise after an injury and I hope to keep losing weight but eating hwat I enjoy. Thanks

Well Mr. Zach this is actually round 2 for me, the beginning of my journey AGAIN.... A little about me I am disabled, morbidly obese, and wheel chair dependant. I need surgery on my spine along with double knee replacements (I'm now bone to bone NO cartilage in either knee) along with a multitude of health conditions. Last year I lost 100lbs with 40 to go for my knee replacement surgery. Ran into some problems starting with my house burning down, being homeless, in and out of the hospital just about an entire year (with kidney problems) and going from one state to another and so on. In the midst of all that I gained all the weight I lost back just to give you some back ground on what's going on and why I'm here. So I am now starting from square one again. Being in this chair, having diabetes, and being insulin resistant makes this journey three times as hard but I refuse to give up. I learn something new everyday and I love your channel, thank you for all the amazing recipes.

I fell all the way down to procrastination after having depression. Took some weight and stopped working out. I was a tennis athlete before so I always felt shame about how I looked. Thankefully, I managed to recover from it step by step. Growing up changed me and I got to a point where my faith and my body simply decided it was enough.

Thank you for sharing all your hard work in this recipe book!

Fantastic recipes!! They've really helped my wife and I stay healthy and lose some unwanted poundage.

I absolutely love these recipes!! As a busy mom who works full time, goes to school full time, and has two little, these save my life! And the whole family enjoys them. They're not boring or repetitive so it's been easy to stay in a calorie deficit. I've started losing weight finally at 8 months postpartum!

The protein pizza was good. All my friends and family liked it

The protein pizza was good and all my friends and family liked it

I’ve decided to switch up my diet completely. After being able to only maintain my weight but not change my physique, i wanted to change the way I look

I love every one of you recipes. So delicious, filing, and are right in line with my daily macros. I would love to see more salads please

Al principio fue dificil y un poco extremo lo de contar calorias y comer muy poco hasta que lentamente descubri que con algo de tiempo y unas cuantas recetas, puedes tener platos saludables y deliciosos.

What I enjoy about the recipes is that not only are they easy to make they are tasty making it a lot easier stay on course with my weight loss goals.

I really like your receipes. It Made me wants to cook more!

I have been losing weight and want to use these recipes to continue on my weight lose journey and learn how to make meals that are filling, delicious and macro friendly. Thank you for giving us this free resource.

I already sent one. Please send ne the link to the book again. Thanks

Zach, I don’t have photos but I have been changed by your recipes. My goals are to continue making healthier, fun foods, to lose fat and gain more muscle this year. I was skinny fat before and tired and sluggish. I have been trying to gain muscle for the last two years with some success. I had a very proud moment when my pizza crust came out perfect and tasted delicious. I also have a ninja creami with which I have been making cookies and cream ice cream on repeat. I always joked that I could only cook to survive, so when I was able to make your recipes I really feel like a chef, 😄. I am learning so many tricks in the kitchen from your recipes. Thank you. Gratefully, Chasity Moore

Food has been amazing! My fianceé look forward to making your recipes every week!

Been eating doing your recipes for about a week and I feel so much better. I still have some ways to go but already seeing a difference. The snacks are great too since I love to snack on stuff.

!

Using your recipes not only helped increase my protein consumption, but they’ve also helped influence my friends and family

These recipes from FDL have meant that we can make lovely pizzas, chicken, burgers etc and not feel guilty. Now the family has an FDL pizza at least once a week and we love it! Thanks for the great recipes!

I remember when I was in 7th grade; I was chubby, and I didn’t like how I looked. So, when summer break started, I decided that I needed a change. I lost 12 kg in one month.

I love these recipes. I can ice cream everyday and my blood sugars stay down. I feel full after eating just a little of it. I have pizza so much that I have a container of "pizza flour" ready.

good very good very good very good

Between May 1 2025 and February 20, 2026, I went from 360 pounds to 332 pounds.

My Transformation Story: At my highest weight of 286 lbs, I knew I was carrying more than just physical weight. I was carrying stress, grief, and years of putting myself last. My journey hasn’t been about perfection it’s been about commitment. I chose to fight for my health, my longevity, and my future. Today, at 215 lbs and still progressing toward 175, I feel stronger, clearer, and more aligned. This transformation isn’t just about the scale it’s about becoming disciplined, confident, and intentional in every area of my life. I decided I was worth the work. I’ve attached my before and current photos to show what consistency looks like over time. The biggest difference isn’t just in my body it’s in my posture, my energy, and the confidence in my eyes. What clicked for me was realizing that no one was coming to save me I had to choose myself. I stopped looking for motivation and built systems instead. I committed to showing up even on the days I didn’t feel like it. I also shifted my mindset from “losing weight” to “gaining discipline.” Once I understood that this was about honoring my body and my future, everything changed. This journey became spiritual, not just physical.

I have two reviews for this. First is personal. I've never struggled with weight, but as I've gotten older, I definitely don't burn it like I used to. The chicken and rice thing isn't sustainable, so finding recipes that replicate the high calorie meals for low cal, and have the volume to fill me up has been a real difference maker. Too many low calorie meals taste good, but would leave a bird still hungry. The second is for my daughter. She is underweight, but plays a lot of athletics. She hates meat, so we have struggled with finding food that are high enough in protein to build muscle for her. We have found ways to get calories into her diet to try to add some weight, but the protein piece has been a problem. Introducing things like your pizzas, garlic bread, etc. have really provided a way to increase the protein in her diet. She loves your recipes and says I should open a pizza restaurant now!

Tu historia de transformación (breve y real) Durante mucho tiempo mi enfoque estuvo en rendir más: entrenar más, exigirme más, empujar siempre un poco más el límite. Venía del alto rendimiento, donde el estándar es vivir en modo “máquina”. Pero con el tiempo me di cuenta de que no todo se trataba de hacer más… sino de hacerlo mejor. Mi transformación no fue solo física, fue mental: pasar de la autoexigencia constante a un enfoque más estratégico y sostenible del rendimiento y la salud. ¿Qué cambió para ti? ¿Qué hizo click? El click fue entender que el progreso no viene del castigo ni del control extremo, sino de la coherencia. Cuando dejé de ver la nutrición y el entrenamiento como herramientas para “forzar resultados”, y empecé a verlos como aliados para sostener rendimiento, energía y bienestar a largo plazo, todo cambió. Pasé de: Entrenar desde la obligación → a entrenar con intención Comer desde la restricción → a alimentarme para rendir y recuperarme Buscar resultados rápidos → a construir consistencia Hoy el foco no es solo estar en forma, sino tener energía, claridad mental y equilibrio para sostener lo que hago — dentro y fuera del deporte.

Following macros has been life changing & these delicious & easy recipes are a big help

Can’t thank you enough! I don’t mind eating same foods but these have my family on board!!!

Food good body good :) Recipes make it that much easier.

I fat now I no fat cuz ur recipes

These are the best recipes I’ve tried while trying to get into shape and still eat the foods I love!!

I'm glad you are asking for testimonials, I don't use social media other than YouTube and otherwise wouldn't be able to share my thoughts on your amazing program. I'd like to start off by saying I am 45 and have had many ups and downs with my weight and health. I've never been able to maintain my success as my diets would usually mean being hungry and unfulfilled. I enjoy cardio exercise and sports but have always learned that you can't out exercise a bad diet. I think it was probably about a year and a half ago I first saw one of your YouTube videos, and it was life changing. Learning about macros and how to make the food you like fit into goals was completely new to me. It is not just a catch phrase, I literally eat ice cream everyday to lose weight thanks to your creami recipes. You say in a few videos that you want your free stuff to be better than others paid stuff and it is. I also appreciate that you share the recipes you do and your emails, I can't afford the FDA app right now but all your amazing free stuff has been able to keep me successful. What I find works with your program is that it is a change in my diet that doesn't feel like a diet. I never had a diet before that consisted of pizza, ice cream, burgers, and fries. I could go on and on about all the recipes that we make at home but I would like to share one more thing that you may not have considered that is a great benefit to your meals. My daughter is a vegetarian and an athlete. We have researched making sure her diet is healthy and I feel better knowing that thanks to your recipes she is getting some extra protein. She joins me in the nightly ice cream, and your Mac Sauce from the chalupa video is perfect on her homemade black bean burgers. Thank you again for everything you do, Mark ps- I'm 5'11" and started your recipes around 205lbs and am about 175lbs now. Great slow and steady attainable progress.

Since I've dialed in my macros and tracked them strictly, I've seen a huge physical transformation. I lost 100 lbs, gained muscle, and my energy levels are through the roof! Zach's recipes make hitting my macros easy and fun so I can share the lifestyle with my whole family!

Goal for this year is to lose 25 lbs by using the recipe books on FDL and exercising more.

I ate this and i became so darn lean, its absolutely insane. LIke I am like prime david laid out here eating whateve r I Want. Sick

Great knowledge, easy to follow and stay on track

hi i liek ur recipea alot and they are helpful

I absolutely love FDL recipes! I have been eating macro friendly for a bit, but wasn't consistent. But that all changed with Zach's recipes, as I eat his recipes on a daily basis. I have dropped weight, about 18lbs so far and love every single recipe that I have tried. I own every single cookbook that Zach has come out with, as his recipes are that good.

I just have always liked eating in volume and these recipes have helped! Plus every one is delicious!

I have seen multiple people via Instagram taking normal everyday foods and making them healthier, but a lot of it was hit or miss. Finding FDL has been great because eating foods I would miss otherwise helps hit my goals without sacrificing taste. I’ve lost 15 lbs but have also put on muscle.

I’ve struggled with weight since being a teenager. Lost weight to join the military and did well until I got out. Then with no reason to stay fit the next 12 years I’d go up and down. This year I finally bought the lifetime access to give myself recipes that give me the food I crave but with the macros that fit. Since the beginning of the year I’ve lost 23 lbs. I use to be yo yo diet and lose a lot of weight quickly but this time I’m focusing on macros and consistency going into my mid 30’s. What clicked was not being able to complete as much due to being winded. Focusing just on diet has helped me and on a “cheat day” I switch to one meal.

Good recipes I appreciate the simplicity

I have had 2 weight loss surgeries, one worked for me for several years but then it didn't due to my lack of sleep control. I had a second surgery and I just couldn't drop the weight. I am currently having to take monjouro but my husband and I have started to change our eating habits to include healthier eating. So we need a variety of recipes to help keep food from getting boring. I was at 196 in late Oct and I am down to 170. I am 55 yrs old and little to no exercise (but working on it).

I have been off and on using a macro-based/IF along with strength training approach to fat loss for years - I was in a great spot about a month ago but a recent vacation has been a little setback for my goals. Back on track now though and ready for a grind until summer! What changed for me was changing my relationship with food and using a macro approach - I realized that certain foods are not off limits and I can enjoy lower calories versions! I use your FDL recipes weekly and they have been a major help for me, thank you! Also starting a high protein diet was a great change for me and no longer thinking I have to starve to lose fat (I was losing muscle before this clicked as well obviously during starvations phases lol).

Losing weight for an ultramarathon

I've lost 7kg in two months all thanks to your recipes. Not gonna lie, the recipes in themselves didn't make me lose weight. But during my weight loss journey, these recipes are what helped me stay on course and made everything else (calorie restrictions, workouts) feel easy. Not just easy but felt like a breeze. And this is what is the most important part of it all.

I’m better able to figure out easy ways to balance my macros.

Needing the link again as filled this in early but forgot to download the file. 😊

Honestly, I didn’t expect much at first, but just by paying attention to your YouTube videos I’ve lost around 15 pounds. Before, I thought the gym was the main thing and I was always kind of battling with food. What really changed for me was realizing nutrition matters way more than I gave it credit for. Once I started being more mindful about what I eat (especially protein and portions), everything started to click. I feel like I’ve finally fixed my relationship with food, and the progress actually feels sustainable now.

Not much to say. Lost more than a hundred pounds just by eating less. I one day just decided I didn’t like how I looked and felt and needed to change it. To be honest I just like to look at your videos and recipes.

Game changing for my health. I’ve been following FDL for over two years, I eat a recipe from his book at least twice a day. Hit my daily macros and calorie goal without even trying now. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been and my BF% has never been lower.

It’s good. Good for the whole family

Hi, I've been using 2 recipes consistently and it keeps me away from high fat lunches and treats: the cookie and the big mac salad. I've been eating this salad for 5 days a week since August (6.5 months)!

Zach's recipes are on fire! Every one that I have tried so far has been so good. I am amazed that I can eat pizza and burgers and they don't wreck my macros for the day. I'm not currently eating in a deficit, but maintaining and loving that I can eat like this.

Lost half my body weight eating real food and focusing on macros. Started testing the water years ago with your protein fluff and have been hooked ever since.

I've been eating well and walking for at least 40 minutes, almost every day now. In the last 4 weeks I've lost 4.5 kilograms and I'm super happy with my results so far as I've managed to fit into a dress I bought last year which I've never been able to wear until now. I've still got a long way to go to get back to a healthy weight but I'm loving the feeling of being in control of what I eat. I'm more aware of the reasons why I use to binge eat which always centred around feeding my feelings. The walking has definitely helped me relieve stress instead of using food to deal with stress. My partner is also on a weight loss journey so it's fantastic having someone to share my struggles and successes with.

I was tired. I felt old. Every day 7am to 7pm or more working on broken down trucks and trailers. It weighed down on me somethin’ heavy let me tell ya. My recliner and comfort food was my nightcap. One day I woke up and barely recognized myself. Like I had jumped into someone else’s body. Well, I’m only down 13 pounds but after gaining 40 that’s huge! Eating comfort looking food and losing weight is a real life changer. I’d rather grab a chicken sandwich than a protein bar. So, short story long, thanks you. Thank you very much. Good luck to anyone else that reads this. Eat healthy. Work out. Rock on!

I really do not have a weight loss story but had found through my life that after eating some foods that I really liked I would end up feeling sluggish or just plain not good. After figuring out it was not the food doing it but what was in it after that change I find now I have more energy and a overall better feeling.

After my annual physical i was told that my blood pressure which I take meds for was still too high, my cholesterol was to high and I was way over weight, he wanted to put me on more meds to try and controll it but I didn't want to take more meds, so I talked him into letting me try to loose weight and controll my cholesterol on my own first. I didn't really know where to start, but I started looking at YouTube and ran across your videos, I've been using these recipes for 2 months now and I have lost 26 pounds, my cholesterol is in normal range and my blood pressure is way below the normal and I might be able to quit those meds. I have learned new ways to cook that are healthy. I didn't know I could still eat these kind of foods and keep it on the Healthier side .

Hello, I've been watching and trying your recipes for the past 3 months and let me just say, the food good enuh(im from the caribbean). I lost 10 pounds since I started and I honestly feel way less picky and confident in my eating habits. You're a God send my g. Bless up

I went from 200lbs to 160lbs with these wonderful recipes. They are easy to make and helped me change my food habits. I want to be a healthy parent and be able to keep up with my son. I want to be a good example for him. Thank you

I always crave comfort food but I know its not good for me. Until I found the macro friendly recipes, making pizzas, ice creams, burgers and fries, and I lost 10 lb!!! Its crazy!!

I have had weight issues all my life. I need two knee replacements and is finally tired of hurting everyday. So I have committed 2026 to get this weight off for good and work on myself and better eating habits. I make myself accountable for the calories I eat daily and exercise everyday with 10,000 or more steps. I was taking injections and lost 100lbs, but gained half back when I got off them. So I learning how to exercise more and eat better to stay in my calorie deficit so I can keep this weight off for good. At my largest I was 345lbs. Now I am 282lbs staying consistent with my goals to be under 200lbs with God, self motivation and determination.
