She was always the tallest and biggest of her friends and became self-conscious of her body once she entered high school. Christine tried her first diet and would spend the next two decades connecting her value to her weight. She went from diet to diet, endured high intensity workouts, and developed bulimia to manage her weight. Christine was both unhealthy and unhappy. Christine discovered IF in June of 2020, and began her IF journey right away. Christina has lost more than 40 pounds, but she feels her biggest victory has been the peace and freedom IF has brought to her life. Christine’s advice: Set a long-term goal but take it slow. Celebrate the non-scale victories more than the weight loss. Share IF with everyone.

As a young girl, Hrönn was the tallest and biggest of her peers which led to decades of emotional eating. By 2016, she was 245 pounds. She discovered IF but didn’t know about the clean fast. As a result, she gave up on fasting because it felt too hard. In July of 2022, Hrönn had a moment of clarity and decided it was time to take control of her health. She found Fast Feast Repeat and learned the science of the clean fast. Hrönn has lost 65 pounds. Her plantar fasciitis is gone, her emotional eating has calmed, and she trusts her body. Hrönn’s advice: Let IF be a journey. Don’t strive for perfection. Accept that IF might take time. Connect with your future self and implement those habits now.

By age thirty, Sheri was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She was put on meds and insulin, tried dieting and lost weight, but would always gain it back. She discovered IF, but because she did not fast clean, IF felt too hard. After a major surgery in 2022, Sheri looked at herself in the mirror and knew she needed to get her weight under control. Sheri’s mother shared Fast Feast Repeat with her and Sheri immediately began her IF journey. She has lost almost 60 pounds, her A1C has lowered, her fasting insulin has come down, and she feels young and healthy. Sheri’s advice: Use fasting apps, learn all you can about what works for you.

She was born with digestive issues, and in her teens, she was diagnosed with IBS and hypothyroidism.  This began a long road of food obsession for Lisa, as she desperately tried everything to help her IBS symptoms. Though she did not struggle with her weight, Lisa felt the pressure to maintain it. She spent years following diet programs, taking diet pills, and counting calories. Lisa was all-consumed and miserable.  In May of 2022, Lisa came across an article on how autophagy could help with hypothyroidism. This ultimately led her to Fast Feast Repeat. Lisa calls her IF journey a mental health journey in healing her distorted thinking. She now enjoys freedom, awareness, and the ability to listen to her body.  Lisa’s advice: Fast clean. IF can do more for you than you expect it to!  Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including her latest bestseller 28-Day Fast Start Day-By-Day, the Ultimate Guide to Starting (or Restarting) Your Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle so it Sticks, New York Times Bestseller, Fast.

When she put on weight in college, Allyson began years of dieting.

With the overwhelming stress of going through a court trial after being wrongly accused, Shannon ate out of emotion. At the same time, the pandemic hit, and by 2021 she reached her highest weight of 182 pounds.  In March of 2021, Shannon’s therapist shared Fast Feast Repeat with her. Shannon has lost almost 20 pounds, takes a lower dose of her thyroid meds, and has experienced incredible freedom. The mental clarity of IF helped Shannon get through a very difficult trial in which she was exonerated.  Shannon’s advice: Be consistent with IF. Figure out how to center your window on when you best like to eat. Weight is not the only goal and IF is not a marathon.  Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including her latest bestseller 28-Day Fast Start Day-By-Day, the Ultimate Guide to Starting (or Restarting) Your Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle so it Sticks, New York Times Bestseller, Fast.

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Lori Blantin from Franklin, NC.  Are you ready to take your intermittent fasting lifestyle to the next level? There’s nothing better than community to help with that. In the Delay, Don’t Deny community we all embrace the clean fast, and there’s just the right support for you as you live your intermittent fasting lifestyle.  You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she will answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group. After your fast start, join us for support in The 1st Year group. Need tips for long term maintenance? We have a place for that! There are many more useful spaces beyond these, and you can interact in as many as you like.  Visit ginstephens.com/community to join us. An annual membership costs just over a dollar a week when you do the math. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.   IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community.  Lori works in vacation rental management. She was heavy as a child and began to diet in her teens, which led to countless years of gaining and losing the same 30 pounds.  After a family vacation in July of 2021, Lori found herself at her highest weight of 220 pounds. In an internet search to find another diet, Lori came across Gin’s book, Delay, Don’t Deny. She has lost more than 50 pounds. Lori is no longer obsessed with food, feels empowered, has confidence, and she no longer self-soothes with food.  Lori’s advice: Don’t be afraid of giving up cream in your coffee!  Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including her latest bestseller 28-Day Fast Start Day-By-Day, the Ultimate Guide to Starting (or Restarting) Your Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle so it Sticks, New York Times Bestseller, Fast.
