How to cancel DoFasting and stop unwanted charges

Why you might want to cancel DoFasting

DoFasting is a subscription-based intermittent fasting app that delivers personalized fasting timers, meal plans, workout routines and coaching to help you manage weight and fasting schedules. The app uses adaptive quizzes to customize your experience, but the real cost comes from its auto-renewing subscription model, which can charge your payment method automatically on your renewal date. Understanding your subscription terms is the first step toward canceling cleanly, and Yafee is here to guide you through the process with precision and clarity.

Common reasons users cancel

Your reasons for canceling are valid regardless of their nature. Nevertheless, understanding the most common complaints helps you decide if cancellation is right for you. Users frequently report unexpected renewal charges appearing on their credit card or bank statement after they believed they had canceled. Others cite promotional trial pricing that converted to significantly higher renewal amounts without clear advance notice. Some users find that the app no longer fits their lifestyle or weight-loss goals, while others simply experience subscription fatigue or need to tighten their discretionary spending. Still others discover a competing fasting app or offline method that serves their needs more effectively.

Unexpected charges and billing surprises

The most frequent complaint across consumer complaint databases involves charges posting after a cancellation request. This occurs because DoFasting processes auto-renewals on a specific date tied to your original purchase, not your cancellation date. If you cancel on day 25 of a 30-day cycle, your renewal may still process on day 30 before your cancellation takes effect. Yafee emphasizes acting before your renewal date to prevent this friction entirely. Canceling after a charge has posted requires a separate refund request, which adds delays and complexity to your experience.

How DoFasting billing works and renewal cycles

DoFasting operates on an auto-renewal model, meaning your subscription renews automatically on a set schedule unless you cancel before the renewal date arrives.

DoFasting subscription plans and US pricing

DoFasting offers four main billing options in the United States, each with different upfront costs and renewal intervals. Your choice of plan directly affects the amount you pay upfront and how frequently you encounter renewal charges.

Why renewal timing affects your cancellation strategy

Annual plans lock you into a full year of charges upfront, which can range from $66 to $264 depending on promotions running at the time you purchased. Monthly plans renew every 30 days, meaning you encounter more frequent renewal windows to catch and cancel before the next charge posts. The longer your plan duration, the more urgent it becomes to cancel before the next renewal date to avoid another large charge. Yafee recommends mapping out your renewal date immediately after you decide to cancel, then setting a calendar reminder 3-5 days before that date to ensure your cancellation processes on time.

Your legal rights and consumer protections

Your cancellation rights are grounded in federal consumer protection law, which gives you strong leverage with DoFasting if they fail to honor your request.

Federal trade commission standards for negative-option billing

The Negative Option Rule (part of the Federal Trade Commission Act) requires that any company operating a subscription or auto-renewal service must obtain clear, express informed consent before the first charge and obtain affirmative consent (active agreement from you) before each subsequent charge. Furthermore, the company must provide simple and reliable mechanisms for you to cancel. In accordance with this rule, DoFasting must honor your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe-typically one business day-and must not attempt to charge your payment method again after you have canceled.

Your legal position

You have the right to cancel your DoFasting subscription at any time without penalty. DoFasting cannot require you to provide a reason for cancellation or lock you into a contract against your will. If DoFasting charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov and request a chargeback with your credit card company or bank. Yafee recommends saving all confirmation emails and screenshots proving your cancellation request, as these serve as evidence if you need to escalate.

How to cancel DoFasting based on where you purchased

Your cancellation method depends on whether you purchased your subscription directly from DoFasting's website or through a third-party app store. Following the correct process for your purchase method is essential to ensure your cancellation takes effect immediately.

Step 1: cancel a subscription purchased directly from DoFasting.com

If you created your DoFasting account directly on their website and provided your payment information there, you must cancel through your online account dashboard.

1. Visit dofasting.com/clients/login in your web browser.
2. Enter your email address and password to log into your account.
   • If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the email recovery steps.
   • If you no longer have access to the email address you registered with, contact DoFasting support at [email protected] before proceeding.
3. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section (typically labeled "My Subscription," "Billing," or "Account Settings").
   • The exact location varies based on recent website updates, so look for the settings icon or account menu.
4. Locate your active subscription and select the option to cancel, pause, or manage your plan.
   • DoFasting may present you with a discount or retention offer at this step. Decline it if you are certain you want to cancel.
5. Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final "Cancel Subscription" button.
   • You should receive an on-screen confirmation message and a confirmation email within 24 hours.
6. Save or screenshot the confirmation page and email for your records.
   • These documents prove cancellation if you later dispute a charge with your bank.

Step 2: cancel a subscription purchased through apple app store

If you downloaded the DoFasting app on an iPhone or iPad and purchased your subscription through the App Store, you must cancel through Apple's billing interface, not through the app itself.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • On newer devices running iOS 16 and later, tap your name at the top of the Settings menu.
   • On older devices, scroll to the top and tap your Apple ID.
2. Tap "Subscriptions" (or "Media & Purchases" on older iOS versions, followed by "Subscriptions").
   • If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you may be prompted to verify your identity.
3. Find DoFasting in the list of active subscriptions and tap it.
   • If you see multiple subscriptions from DoFasting (for example, if you own multiple user accounts), identify the one you want to cancel.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Apple will present you with a final step asking you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a discount to stay.
5. Tap "Confirm" or "Cancel Subscription" again to finalize the cancellation.
   • Apple will display a cancellation confirmation on screen.
6. You will receive a confirmation email from Apple at the email address associated with your Apple ID.
   • Retain this email as proof of cancellation.

Step 3: cancel a subscription purchased through google play store

If you downloaded the DoFasting app on an Android device and purchased your subscription through Google Play, you must cancel through Google's billing system.

1. Open Google Play on your Android device.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Tap "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
   • You will see a list of all your active subscriptions across all Android apps.
3. Find DoFasting in the list and tap it.
   • If you are subscribed to multiple DoFasting plans, verify you are canceling the correct one.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription."
   • Google may present you with a survey asking why you are canceling; you may skip this step.
5. Tap "Yes, cancel" to confirm.
   • Google will display a final cancellation notice and send you a confirmation email.
6. Save the confirmation email from Google as proof of cancellation.
   • Your access to DoFasting will end on your next renewal date, not immediately.

Important note: deleting the app does not cancel your subscription

Simply deleting the DoFasting app from your device will not cancel your subscription or stop renewal charges. DoFasting's app will continue to renew and charge your payment method even after you have deleted the app, because the subscription is tied to your account and billing method, not to the app's presence on your device. You must follow the cancellation steps above for your specific platform-website, App Store, or Google Play-to actually halt the charges. Yafee emphasizes this distinction because many users mistakenly believe that deleting the app ends their subscription, only to discover unwanted charges weeks later.

What happens after you cancel and when access ends

Canceling your subscription does not grant you an immediate refund for future months you have already paid for in advance.

Your access timeline after cancellation

After you submit a valid cancellation request, DoFasting will honor the cancellation within one business day. Consequently, your account will be marked as canceled in their system, and no renewal charge will post on your next billing date. However, you will retain access to the app and its content until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on day 10 of a 30-day monthly cycle, you keep full access until day 30, at which point your account access will be revoked. If you have a 6-month or annual plan, your access continues through the remainder of that paid period. This structure means you do not lose the service immediately, but you also do not receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of your current billing cycle.

Confirmation and record-keeping

Yafee recommends saving all cancellation confirmation emails and screenshots for at least six months after your access ends. In the unlikely event that DoFasting charges your payment method again after your access has ended, these records prove that you submitted a valid cancellation request. You will then have clear evidence for a chargeback dispute with your credit card company or bank. Check your credit card or bank statement on your next scheduled renewal date to verify that no charge appears. If a charge does post after your cancellation, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute.

How to request a refund for unwanted or erroneous charges

If DoFasting has already charged you after your cancellation request or if you discover unexpected renewal charges, you have recourse through both DoFasting directly and your financial institution.

Request a refund directly from DoFasting

Your first step is to contact DoFasting's customer support team and request a refund for the erroneous charge.

1. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request for Subscription Charged After Cancellation."
   • Include your full name, email address associated with your DoFasting account, and the date of the unwanted charge.
   • Attach or reference your cancellation confirmation email and a screenshot of your bank or credit card statement showing the charge.
   • Clearly state that you submitted a valid cancellation request before the charge posted.
2. Expect a response within 5-7 business days (typically faster).
   • DoFasting support staff will review your evidence and either approve a refund or ask for additional documentation.
3. If DoFasting approves your refund, they will process it to your original payment method within 3-5 business days.
   • Your bank or credit card company may take an additional 1-3 business days to post the credit to your account.

File a chargeback with your bank or credit card company

If DoFasting denies your refund request or does not respond within 10 business days, you can file a chargeback dispute with your financial institution. In accordance with Federal Trade Commission standards and payment processor rules, your bank or credit card company has a duty to investigate unauthorized charges and charges made after a valid cancellation request. Contact your bank or credit card issuer by phone (the number is on the back of your card) and explain that DoFasting charged you after you submitted a cancellation request. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and bank statement as evidence. Your bank will initiate a dispute process, and DoFasting will have the opportunity to respond. In most cases, your bank will reverse the charge within 30-60 days and credit your account.

Common mistakes people make when canceling DoFasting

Canceling a subscription should be straightforward, and you have every right to expect clarity and honesty from the company. Unfortunately, avoidable mistakes can delay your cancellation or leave you vulnerable to surprise charges.

Mistake 1: canceling through the wrong platform

If you purchased your subscription through the App Store but attempt to cancel through the website (or vice versa), your cancellation request will not affect your active subscription. DoFasting keeps separate billing accounts for each platform, so canceling in one place does not cancel your subscription in another. Verify where you purchased your subscription by checking your email receipts and then follow the corresponding cancellation steps. Yafee advises checking all three platforms-website, App Store, and Google Play-to confirm you do not have an active subscription on any of them.

Mistake 2: deleting the app without canceling the subscription

As noted earlier, deleting the DoFasting app will not cancel your subscription or stop charges. Your account and billing information remain active in DoFasting's system, and your card will continue to be charged on the renewal date. Always complete the formal cancellation process through your account dashboard or app store before deleting the app. Only after you receive a cancellation confirmation should you delete the app from your device.

Mistake 3: assuming a promotional trial ended means the subscription canceled

Many users purchase DoFasting through a promotional trial (for example, "3 days free, then $34.99 per month"). Once the trial period ends, the subscription automatically converts to paid status unless you explicitly cancel before the trial period expires. Simply stopping use of the app does not cancel the subscription. You must submit a formal cancellation request before your trial period ends to prevent the first paid charge. Check your confirmation email for the exact date your trial expires and set a reminder to cancel 3-5 days before that date.

Mistake 4: not saving cancellation confirmations

If a dispute arises and you cannot prove you submitted a cancellation request, your claim becomes much weaker. Always screenshot and save your cancellation confirmation page, and retain the confirmation email DoFasting or the app store sends you. These documents are your primary evidence if DoFasting charges you again or if you need to dispute a charge with your bank. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder in your email or on your computer for all subscription-related confirmations.

Mistake 5: ignoring unauthorized charges out of frustration

If you discover a charge you did not authorize, acting quickly is essential. The longer you wait to dispute a charge, the harder it becomes to prove it was unauthorized and the closer you approach the deadline for filing a formal dispute. Contact your bank or credit card issuer as soon as you notice the unwanted charge, even if you intend to request a refund directly from DoFasting first. Your bank can place a temporary hold on the dispute while you and DoFasting negotiate, and if you reach an agreement, you can withdraw the chargeback. Nevertheless, filing early protects your rights and creates a formal record.

Comparing DoFasting with competing intermittent fasting apps

If you are considering canceling DoFasting, you may be weighing it against other fasting apps or methods. Understanding how DoFasting's pricing and features compare helps you decide if cancellation is the right choice or if you simply need to switch plans.

Checklist for canceling DoFasting successfully

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel DoFasting correctly and protect yourself from surprise charges.

Contacting DoFasting support and escalation

If you encounter problems during cancellation or need to speak with DoFasting directly, use the contact information below.

Official DoFasting contact methods

Email customer support at [email protected] with a clear subject line describing your issue (for example, "Unable to Cancel Subscription" or "Refund Request for Unauthorized Charge"). Include your full name, account email address, and a detailed explanation of the problem. DoFasting typically responds to support emails within 24-48 business hours. If you need to cancel urgently and cannot reach email support, some users report success contacting DoFasting through their official social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter), which may receive faster responses from their social media management team.

Escalating to the federal trade commission if DoFasting refuses to refund

If DoFasting fails to honor your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, you can file a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov. The FTC investigates complaints about deceptive or unfair business practices, including unauthorized charges and failure to honor cancellation requests. Although filing an FTC complaint does not guarantee an immediate refund, it creates an official record and can prompt DoFasting to resolve your issue to avoid regulatory action. Additionally, your credit card company's chargeback process remains your most direct path to recovering unauthorized charges.
