It's exhausting, isn't it?
Trying one diet after another, only to find yourself hungry and miserable and unable to stick with it, then guilty and full of shame because you've failed yet again.
There has to be a better way.
Because ultimately what you really want is NOT just another diet, but a life.
You want your health back. You want your energy back. You want to sleep better and be rid of all that pain and inflammation that keeps you up at night. And you want to be able to eat delicious food (and lots of it) without ever feeling deprived.
Sound too good to be true? It's not. Keep reading to find out exactly what's possible.
I'm a wife, a mom, CEO, a New York Times bestselling author of 7 books and the creator of multiple brands, including Living Well Spending Less®, Elite Blog Academy®, Do It Scared® and now Thinlicious™.
And I know exactly how frustrating it is to feel like you just can't get a handle on your weight and to fail at every diet you've tried.
Because believe me, friend, I have tried them all.
And inevitably, I’d lose a few pounds, but then I’d get busy and struggle to stay on track. Or worse yet, I’d get hungry and I’d just give up.
...until I got serious about finding a way of eating that would actually work for the way I live my life.
I took a deep dive into the science, and I learned how to change the way my body burns fuel. Within 6 months, I lost 40 pounds and completely transformed my body.
Not only that, I was never hungry. I ate out all the time. I continued to socialize every weekend. I got to eat delicious food. My kids never saw me dieting. And I never felt deprived.
And that's exactly what the Thin Adapted System™ is all about. It's a way of eating—and living—that just works. And I invite you to try it and see just how delicious getting healthy can be!
The Thin Adapted System is our groundbreaking signature program, designed to help you lose weight and get healthy for life, so that you can have more energy and finally stop dieting for good. If you are a woman over 40 who has been struggling to lose weight, or if you're just ready to get healthy, this program will change your life.

TAS works because we're different. We know that when it comes to losing weight and getting healthy, the only way to create sustainable success is to not just change the way you eat, but to understand the why behind those changes, while also improving your mindset and correcting harmful thought patterns.
That's why our groundbreaking coaching program takes a multi-faceted, holistic approach, providing you the ideal combination of physician-led and science-based education paired with ongoing support & accountability, along with the practical tools and resources you need to actually implement our plan in order to permanently transform both your mind and your body.
During your time in our program, your weight loss progress will happen in three distinct phases:
During Phase 1—the ACCLIMATE phase—your primary goal is to reset your metabolism and switch your body from burning carbs to burning fat as its default source of fuel, which we call becoming Thin Adapted.
Phase 1 typically lasts between 4-6 weeks, during which time you can expect to lose between 1-2 pounds a week.
Phase 2—the IGNITE phase—begins once you're fully Thin Adapted. At this point, you'll experience a significant increase in energy, as well as a marked decrease in hunger, and you will continue to lose weight at a steady pace.
How long you stay in this phase will depend on how much weight you have to lose.
Phase 3—the MAINTAIN phase—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.
“This program is life-changing! I have been overweight for most of my life and in less than three months I have lost 22.5 lbs and gotten rid of two big bags of clothes from my closet. But even better, I feel great and am the smallest I ever remember being! My doctor was thrilled too. I feel like this is the beginning of my new life! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
To respect the privacy of all our customers, we have chosen not to publicly share their photos or videos on this page, but we encourage you to listen in as they share their experience with TAS in their own words.

THE THIN ADAPTED SYSTEM CORE CURRICULUM
Our core curriculum includes 12 engaging, enlightening and meticulously researched in-depth lessons taught by Thinlicious founder Ruth Soukup together with our physician advisor, Dr. Edie Wadsworth, as well as our in-house Fitness Expert, Marc Bifano. The lessons are designed to help you deepen your knowledge and understanding of how to be successful in our program as you transform your body and your health, while also addressing the core mindset issues that can inhibit our progress.
PROGRAM OUTLINE:
LIVE COACHING & ACCOUNTABILITY
Countless studies have shown that when it comes to making big changes in your life, there's nothing more powerful than regular accountability. That's why all of our students, no matter which subscription option you choose, have access to weekly group coaching calls where you can ask questions, share and celebrate your wins and connect with other like-minded women on a similar journey. With at least 4 sessions per week at various times, there is a little bit of something for everyone!
12 WEEKS OF MEAL PLANS
Sometimes the hardest part of getting started is just knowing what to eat! And while our program is intended to be completely flexible and customizable to your own needs and dietary preferences, it's nice to know that most of the work is already done for you, if you want it to be.
Our program provides three separate 4-week meal plans (one for Phase 1 and two for Phase 2) that include shopping lists, weekly prep instructions, substitution guidelines and more than 100 delicious recipes.
PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP
Our private Thin Adapted System Facebook group is exclusively available to TAS members and is the ideal place to ask questions, get support, share ideas and make priceless connections with other members of the TAS community. We promise you won't find a more encouraging community anywhere online!
CUSTOM MACRO CALCULATOR
As we teach in our program, everyone's body is a little different, which means your own journey to lose weight and get healthy will be unique to you. It also means that ultimately your macronutrient requirements will be specific to your body, and as you lose weight, your macronutrient requirements will likely change over time. Our custom Thinlicious macro calculator, which is exclusively available to TAS members, will help you determine the right macros for your body at every phase of our program.
FAT BURNING WORKOUT PLAN
While the biggest, most significant changes to your health will come from changing the way you eat, there is a point in your journey where the right exercise can help you dramatically accelerate your results. Our exclusive strength training plan was developed by our own Thinlicious Fitness Expert, Marc Bifano, and is designed to specifically boost your body's fat-burning power in less than 30 minutes a day.
POCKET DINING OUT GUIDE
Think eating the Thinlicious way means you can never eat out again? Think again! Our program is designed to work for the way you live your life, even if that means frequent meals on the go. Our Pocket Dining Out Guide is designed to make healthy, low-carb choices easy by providing you with delicious menu options at all your favorite chain and fast food restaurants, as well as tips for what to choose in any dining situation you may encounter.
CONFIDENCE IN THE KITCHEN
Do you struggle in the kitchen with either the desire to cook or even the motivation to make healthy meals? This fun and interactive low-carb cooking class is all about learning how to prepare our most popular low-carb recipes with confidence. You'll laugh along with Ruth when things don't always go exactly as planned and ultimately walk away more empowered to try new things and make living the Thinlicious way work for you.
QUARTERLY RESET CHALLENGES
We all need a little reset from time to time and that is just what our quarterly challenges are intended for. Each quarter we host a 4-week challenge loosely based on the principles of the 28 Day Metabolism Reset but with a new and specific focus. Challenges of the past have focused on setting goals and instilling simple but life-changing habits that stick, and our next challenge focuses on boosting your energy and igniting your health results. Our challenges are widely sought after by new and existing customers and as an active TAS member, you get access at the VIP level for FREE!

GET READY! ENROLLMENT OPENS IN....
"This program has felt so different from all the other diets I've tried. I had to learn so many misconceptions about nutrition, but the combination of the classes, meal plans, and shopping lists have both helped me understand the WHY of the program and stick with it. It's exciting to be part of a group of women with a common purpose. I'm down 20 pounds and on track to hit my goals. My energy is better than it's been in years, and I had my first normal blood pressure reading. Best of all, I look and feel younger (I kid you not!) My eyes are clear and my skin looks great. My weight and health are no longer exhausting me and holding me back. I feel like myself again—confident, ready, and eager for tomorrow."
In short—a lot!
First, you’ll get access to our full 12-lesson, physician-guided curriculum, which covers both the practical how-tos of the program, as well as explains the underlying principles and metabolic science in a way that’s easy to understand. Each lesson includes a useful workbook for taking notes and recording your own thoughts about your weight loss journey.
Because we want to make our program as easy to follow as possible, you’ll also get 12 weeks of meal plans, which include shopping lists, weekly prep guides and more than 50 delicious, brand-new recipes (so far), along with a variety of additional tools and resources to help you along the way.

Our easy-to-follow meal plans include more than 100 delicious, easy-to-make recipes, including:
And that's literally just the beginning!
Not only that, all our recipes are designed to be easy and fast, with minimal time and effort required in the kitchen. Most come together in less than 30 minutes, and our optional (but highly recommended) weekend prep will help make your weekday meals even faster.
There are no prerequisites for joining TAS!
The 28 Day Metabolism Reset is the perfect way to get a taste of our program and prepare for Phase 2. That said, it is not a mandatory prerequisite for joining our full program. You will simply start by following our Level 1 guidelines, while anyone who has done the 28 Day Metabolism Reset will likely start by following the Level 2 guidelines.
Yes! Our Thin Adapted System meal plan and recipes were mostly developed by our founder, Ruth Soukup, but have been reviewed and approved by our physician advisor, Dr. Edie Wadsworth.
The 12 lessons are taught by both Ruth and Dr. Edie, and will cover not only the practical aspects of following the program but the underlying metabolic science and health aspects of the program as well.
To learn more about the health benefits of this way of eating, check out our latest podcast: Metabolism, Hormones, & Mindset with Dr. Edie Wadsworth.
You can listen on Apple or Android podcasts or find it on Spotify.
The Thinlicious way of eating and our Thin Adapted System is based on metabolic science and focuses on cutting out foods with a high glycemic index that will spike your blood sugar, such as refined carbohydrates and sugar.
This is a similar approach as seen in other low-carb or ketogenic diet plans, such as keto, Atkins or the South Beach diet, which means that most of our recipes can be considered keto-friendly.
However, unlike a "traditional" keto diet, which often focuses on eating as much fat as possible without regard to nutritional content, we encourage more protein, along with a variety of low-glycemic, fiber-rich vegetables and fruits.
While keto has exploded in popularity over the past few years, there is actually a whole lot of misinformation about how and why low-carb diets actually work and the science behind them.
The ultimate goal of our program is to a.) help women better understand how different foods affect our metabolism in order to avoid making the common mistakes that prevent them from seeing weight loss success and b.) to make adhering to a low-carb lifestyle feel convenient, easy, delicious and sustainable.
There are a lot of reasons why diets don't work, but one of the main reasons is that as humans we don't function well when we are hungry.
Our metabolism slows down to preserve energy, we get cranky and irritable, and we struggle to concentrate. It's not a sustainable way to exist, which is why when we try to deprive ourselves of food for a prolonged period of time, our willpower finally gives out, and we end up overindulging even more.
But a lack of willpower is only the beginning.
Because the REAL problem is not that we are eating too much, it's that we are eating the wrong things. The modern Western diet is packed with high-glycemic foods and refined carbohydrates that tend to spike our blood sugar and keep our insulin levels elevated all the time, which prevents our body from being able to burn fat for fuel.
But if you are able to eat in a way that keeps your blood sugar low, you can eat to satiety and still lose weight. And because you're not constantly hungry, it's easy to maintain this way of eating indefinitely.
And, not to mention the fact that we often go it alone, meaning we have little to no support. But NOT in the Thin Adapted System. We are a community, and we share our wins and our struggles and like ships in a harbor, we all rise together!
At this time our Thin Adapted System is only available in digital format, which includes downloadable resources and a series of lesson videos accessible in our password-protected member's area.
You can print the resources and have them bound or keep them in a 3-ring binder, or you can print just the pages and recipes you need.
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.
You are free to cancel your membership at any time! Just send an email to hello@thinlicious.com and request to cancel, and we will walk you through the process. You must email at least 3 days prior to your billing date to ensure we are able to cancel your membership before it automatically processes. Once your automatic payment is processed, we will not be able to provide any refunds so be sure to reach out to us within that 3-day window.
We currently offer 3 different enrollment options to choose from. The option right for you will depend on how much weight you are hoping to lose, how long you would like to have access to the program and what makes the most sense for your budget. Regardless of how you choose to enroll, all TAS members have the same access to all course materials and bonuses.
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.
We know our program is great—so great that we provide a 30 day happiness guarantee! That's right—If you try our program for 30 days and follow our guidelines and do not see results (at least 1 pound of weight loss per week) you might be eligible for a refund.
To learn more about our refund policy please review our policy page.
If you already have an established workout routine, we recommend sticking with it. If not, we recommend first focusing on changing the way you EAT before worrying about incorporating exercise and fitness into your routine.
Once we get into Phase 2 we will start talking about how and when to begin introducing exercise into your weight loss plan and what types of exercises are recommended to burn fat.
The Thin Adapted System was specifically designed to help busy, high-achieving women over 40 discover a new way of eating that actually works for the way they live their lives. It's 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 12-Week Meal Plan is low carb/keto friendly and almost entirely gluten-free. While some 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!).
All 12 lessons and bonus Q&A sessions 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.
Weekly group coaching will be scheduled in advance and meeting dates and times will be published on the 1st of every month so you can plan ahead. If none of our session times work for you, we will also save all recordings for one month in the member area for anyone who is not able to attend live to catch up.
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 3 phases:
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. This is the phase you’re in during our 28 Day Metabolism Reset.
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. During the Ignite phase, you’ll make some important tweaks to what and when you eat that will help accelerate your fat burn and avoid plateaus.
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 over the course of 12 super-in-depth lessons, 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.
While the 28 Day Metabolism Reset is the perfect way to get started with our program, it really is only the beginning and just a small taste of our full program.
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!
Because this is a new program, we are still in the process of collecting data. However, the program is based on research collected from a number of different studies that have been conducted across the world over the past 75 years.
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 will vary and be largely impacted by a number of factors. That said, our participants so far have typically seen noticable results within 2 weeks of starting the program and have lost anywhere from 15- 40 pounds in the first 3 months.
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!)
Second, we provide complete shopping lists for each week's plan, so that you don't have to waste time figuring out what you'll need. This step alone will save you hours!
Third, we also provide weekly prep tips that will tell you what things you can prepare over the weekend to save time during the workweek.
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, it's 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 30 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 will email out a schedule of all of the weekly group coaching and accountability sessions on the 1st of every month so you can plan ahead and add the events into your calendar.
Our program is specifically tailored to the unique needs of women over 40, who tend to have the biggest struggles with metabolic issues due to the changes in our hormones as we get older (and the hardest time losing weight). That said, our program is also perfectly appropriate for men or for women under 40.
Our Thin Adapted System program includes a comprehensive prep guide with a list of recommended foods and supplies to get before you begin in order to make following our system as easy and painless as possible!
