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!

Even my toddler loves the FDL pizza!

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 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.

So happy I can eat and enjoy good tasting food without the guilt!

Finally no more guilt when I eat something off the diet as a treat for staying consistent

Losing 20 lbs. Was no easy feat but with the recipes in this book, my cravings were always satisfied! Love the high protein ice cream!

I started following these recipes and im consistently losing 1 lb a week while not sacrificing on taste

Your recipes have helped a ton Zach !!! Loved your content from the beginning man ! Would love to meet you and personally shake your hand to thank you for providing this guide on a healthy lifestyle for so many!

I've been living off of protein shakes and deli turkey for about the past 10 months and it had gotten to the point that I hated having to choke it down. It was then that I saw your videos on the pizza and blackened chicken tenders with fry sauce. It completely changed the way I think about fitting in better macros, limited calories and feeling like satiated. Thank you!

I started September 8 the day before my birthday no starting weight no real goal I decided why not try I was turning 30 I walked everyday even if it was only 10 minutes and now as of February 2026 if I was the weight I thought I was I would have lost over 75 pounds I think my starting was 460

I was struggling with what to make and ended up with the most boring meals on earth. Luckily now that I have these recipes, so I don’t feel like I have constant FOMO and makes me feel so good on top of it.

I’m a body builder and sometimes chicken and rice gets old so these recipes are a great way to shake things up and still be within my macros!

I eat more fiber now after having cookie butter.

Following macros has been life changing, I never thought I could lose the weight & be in the best shape of my life! These recipes make it easy 😋

Before, I was very skinny and often felt weak and low on energy. Most of my diet was based on fast food, but I didn’t eat much, which is honestly why I stayed so thin. When I started going to the gym, I wanted to keep eating the same way, but I decided to try some of your recipes instead — especially the healthier fast-food style meals. That change made a huge difference for me. I’ve been able to build muscle, I feel much stronger, and I’ve finally achieved an athletic physique that I genuinely feel good about. And I know as a woman that a lot of them just want to be thin, but it meant something completely different to me. I really like your recipes and sorry if my english is a bit bad , im from Spain :)

Best recipes for weight loss I have ever seen!

This product is truly fascinating and a fantastic addition to have!

Over the past two years of following your recipes and the concept of high protein, low calorie foods, I feel like I have a much better relationship with food and the concept of portion size. By meal prepping, I have been more successful in not feeling bad about the occasional special meal that maybe doesn't fit in the criteria of "healthy", such as the surf and turf dinner I had on valentine's day. But that's okay, because I know I can always fall back on my meal prepping the next day

I was able to get down from 230 to 195 and keep it off! After years of ups and downs I finally realized I could use high volume foods to curb my appetite and keep the weight off.

Zach's recipes helped me go from a 355lbs man to a 165lbs man. Having foods that taste good but are still good for you makes all the difference. If you take the time to pay attention to his videos and to the recipes, you can learn to make easy substitutions to make almost anything you can imagine. I am an old dog that learned a lot of new tricks following Zach's videos.

I’ve struggled with eds my whole life, and regular diets just make eating healthy boring and flavorless. But your recipes help with healing my relationship with food, they’re tasty, healthier than other options and you actually enjoy eating it without feeling guilty. So thank you so much 💜

Great high protein, low calorie recipes

I've used these recipes to meal prep, and they've helped me to drop 15 pounds so far, but more importantly, I get more protein in my diet, so it has been a combination of losing fat and putting on more muscle.

Where do I even begin? (True. I don't even know where to start, because my story is one of those that must sound totally crazy...when you hear it, with so many "individual details.") But - to keep my story short? i cant, i never knew how to do that and put a whole story into just few lines or a short text, so sorry. This may be a longer text here. Okay, I'll try to go "a little bit" chronologically and go back a bit. There was a time (when I was maybe 19 years old) and everything felt great, and I was doing well physically and health-wise (or so I thought). I was even doing fitness and hip-hop dancing twice a week, had just gotten my motorcycle license, and was enjoying everything. Then, in that one year (the year I got my motorcycle license), towards the end of the year, everything suddenly changed, and I started feeling increasingly unwell. (But I didn't know what it was; I couldn't make sense of it.) I didn't even go to the doctor because I thought, what are you even going to say to him? You don't even know how to put it into words yourself. Then I noticed how I was gaining weight, slowly but steadily, and I felt worse and worse, plus a lot of things hurt. It got to the point where I could barely move. So I finally went to the doctor for blood tests because I thought: okay, a blood test can tell you a lot! (Unfortunately, my doctor at the time told me: no, everything's fine, everything's okay!) He lied. (Deliberately.) He concealed the fact that I already had diabetes. (Don't ask me why, maybe he wanted to make more money off me? I don't know – but he never actually mentioned that I needed to be careful, and he never said, even after all those years, that I was really sick. Because diabetes isn't just a scratch, it's a real problem.) I think I owe it to my best friend that I finally went to a doctor who actually cared about me and took everything I said seriously. (My best friend literally dragged me by my hair to her own doctor...so he could check me out.) After that, at least I had the truth and a diagnosis I could work with, even if the truth was thrown in my face so abruptly and suddenly. Diabetes sucks, but at least I now knew the name of my enemy and could fight it. (What was clear to me personally overnight was: Okay, sugar is the worst thing? Get rid of it.) I actually stopped eating everything containing sugar from one day to the next (and without any problems, no joke). Whether it was chocolate, chips, or anything else, I put it all in a bag and later gave it to my best friend +her family, to eat. But: I was consistent and even managed to go 3-4 months completely without sugar. (Then it was over. Haha! My appetite returned for "normal food," which I had been missing. Pasta, potato dishes, etc.) Before that doctor's visit that changed everything and gave me the truth, I had gained about 13 kg slowly in one year, and then more the following year. I think I had gained 20 kg after two years :( That was the point where I said, wait a minute. Stop. Not like this. And that's when the frustrating time began. (Including all my other problems that came with the diabetes, and some even turned into "new" illnesses.) After that, I just felt like I couldn't enjoy anything anymore, and eating was just torture and bad for me. I was fed up with constantly using the scale, weighing everything, and writing down what I ate to try and figure out why I still wasn't losing weight. (I had a plan, after all - the I wanted to, too.) But nothing worked. My new doctor said: "That's also due to the water retention in your body; it's very difficult to lose weight—you really need a lot of patience. It takes time." (But everything was going way too slowly for me.) That was another time when I changed everything again and actually tried to eat more vegetarian food (me, a meat lover, haha). (I only bought those kinds of products to test them and see how my body reacted.) That was also the time when I tried to find something on YouTube (or several channels) that inspired me and that I wanted to try—I needed ideas. (and all this i told here, kinda was happening in or within maybe 3-4yrs btw....) And then... - - i found 1 video. And i started literally drooling haha... - - that's how I found you, Zach! :) Up until then, I had managed to lose 12 kg in a year on my own (without additional medication or exercise). But of course, I wanted to lose more weight and get back to where I used to be. (My weight.) Also because the doctors kept saying, "Yes, please lose weight, every gram counts, and it's better that way with diabetes." So I found videos on YouTube and watched a lot of them – but I only found a few convincing, and I only wanted to try a few of them. (The others sounded disgusting, haha; I didn't want to suffer any more, because I just wanted to finally be able to enjoy food again without feeling guilty.) Funnily enough, I first found you, Zach, through a Ninja Creami video. (It motivated me so much to be able to eat ice cream again that I started saving up for it, haha!) I've had the Ninja Creami for a year now <3 (and I swear, this summer when I bought it, I made, tried, and ate ice cream EVERY DAY. Every single day. haha) xD Because of that, and also because I liked how easy everything sounded when you made it, I watched more of your videos and learned more about you, and that gave me another push—to actually try out your recipes and see if they tasted as good as they did and if they would be helpful for me in my specific health situation. ... (Things went well for a while – but unfortunately, my doctor eventually discovered in one of the blood tests that I shouldn't add any extra protein to my daily food. (That caused other problems in my body, unfortunately.) So I had to rethink things and be careful again. (Because most of your recipes are high in protein.) Nevertheless, I still occasionally cooked something from your recipes, partly because it actually tasted good and partly because, for example, compared to a McDonald's hamburger, I could eat so much healthier and with far less of everything that's harmful to my health. Meanwhile (I also discovered it on your site) I also have a Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer :D which I really enjoy cooking with and can whip up something quickly – and I don't need nearly as much oil as, for example, in a pan. (Or to put it another way: in a pan, I had to steam more, but with the Ninja, I can actually cook something without oil.) (Frying in oil or lots of oil.) with ur ideas and recipes - there came so much fun + calmness again back into my daily life and eating became again enjoyable...at some point even happiness lol (ice cream) i guess - thats what clicked.... And that's why, and for thousands more reasons, I would of course love to receive your recipe book, and I'm so happy that by sharing my story, I have the chance to get it! <3 :) I love to share my "new learnd knowledge" from you with others and share also ur ideas or recipes and links to ur YT etc, bcos these are really "life-changing"/mind-changing" and make at least my own life and being, much more happier again:) (ps:) sorry but i dont like share pix of me.. hope thats no biggie, to still get the book.. sending u a huge hug and wishing you a healthy and happy year! <3 Lili

eating a whole foods diet changed my life for the better. i don’t even crave other foods now and i LOVE exploring new recipes and ways to create and i love Zach’s recipes. so thank you!

Eating more doesn’t necessarily means getting fat, but actually getting more fit and shaped with the right workouts and macros

U r amazing and best .

My wife said out loud, the body you achieve when you arrive at your thirties is gonna stay with you for the rest of your life. It clicked. She was right. Good habits stayed with me. I also ask myself. Does things I do today, bring me closer to where I wanna be in 5 years? Well. Yes. Good day to you Zach! P.S. @artysticx on IG

Some guy was on TikTok exposing how he ate junk food and lost weight. Showed one of your pizza recipes during the video in the background. I went to your page because I seen the username and was hooked since then. bought cookie butter protein powder and made multiple recipes lost 50+lbs.

A few years ago I have had an operation. My recovery was 3 years. After that I decided to start training again because that was the only way I feel good. After I started my physical and mental health improved

I served in the military until June 2024. During that time, I averaged about 25,000 steps per day. Afterwards, I started a new office job where I became very sedentary. I also finally had access to all the food I had missed while in the military, so I gained 22 lbs of body fat. I started to feel uncomfortable and unhappy. I didn’t want to give up the foods I enjoyed, so I came across your YouTube channel, which began to change my eating behavior. Since making these changes, I have lost the 22 lbs and gained a lot of strength in the gym. Now I feel great again and I’m happy.

Top you helped me lose like 7 kg

I’ve followed Zach and Flexible Dieting Lifestyle for years, but once I realized I didn’t have to eliminate foods I love to see real progress and started using the recipes consistently, everything clicked. The recipes are simple, high-protein, and actually taste good, which makes staying consistent easy instead of exhausting. They take the guesswork out of tracking and make everything feel more structured and realistic. This doesn’t feel like another diet. It feels like something I can actually maintain long term. Down 15 lbs and still enjoying my food. That’s a win.

GREAT! This was absolutely amazing!!!!

I have been using FDL recipes since my post Bariatric surgery and it has really helped me propel my weight loss journey. I’ve even gotten my nutritionist at my surgeons office to get on the FDL recipes.

I started my journey in August 2025. Began with weight watchers, lost 8 lbs initially, decided I needed to do more. Talked it iver with my best friend since childhood and she said she believed in me. Her husband did also and they both encouraged me everytime we met. 72 lbs off as of today, lab work all within normal limits for the first time since my early 50’s. I just now feel like I can do some little bits of exercising. I look for meal plans that taste good, and are normal food with lots of protein and fiber. I am 69 now and took my first cross country plane trip, fit in the seat and the seat belt clicked and needed to be tightened. Cannot remember ever feeling so proud! Little accomplishments over time keep me going.

I absolutely loved them! They were not only easy to follow but also incredibly delicious 😋

My whole outlook on food has changed and I actually enjoy cooking again and knowing the meals I'm making not only taste good but are providing me what my body needs.

I’m having my second child soon and it hit me be day I want to be there for them. So I changed my life style I’m down 30 pounds in about a month

I'm finally able to recreate my favourite foods but with much better macro and micro nutrients.

I've watched thousands of recipe and cooking videos. Zach is the best. Simple, easy and delicious....... and the best part is he gives you free recipe books to print.

Unmatched dedication to sharing the genius concoctions!!!

i couldnt find tasty and macro friendly recipes that felt like cheat codes til I came along these recipes that are fast simple and delicious

I had to start eating better to get healthier. Your posts motivated me to start moving in the right direction.

I’m down 10 lbs in 3 weeks by sticking to calorie deficit. I’ve tried to lose weight before and failed because I thought I had to give up all the foods I loved and eat like a rabbit. I would go way overboard on cheat days and then give up on myself. These recipes have helped me to stay on track and not feel like I’m depriving myself. Some of these recipes are even better than the regular recipes without all the calories. I feel better in my clothes already and my husband sees a difference.

Started back in 2015/2016. I was sick of feeling blah and fluffy and decided it was my turn. Got pregnant not long after but continued lifting heavy the whole time, came right back 7 weeks after (2017) and have been consistent ever since! Fitness and nutrition changed my life and made me realize it’s never too late. I love finding easy, high protein, delicious meals to help make the journey more enjoyable and make meals my whole family will love.

I have been working out since i was young and got stronger during pandemic till know, because building muscles was my biggest priority and i started to see myself getting stronger 🖤🖤✨✨
