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.

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.

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.

I’ve obviously just begun listening- already in love with this podcast. I’ve listened to two others on “i f” so far and this is my favorite ❤️. So thank you!!!! I’ve been doing “I f” for one month and cannot believe the difference in my energy! I’m 53 and only have about 25 pounds to lose but I’m only 4’11” so that looks like more weight on me( at least in my opinion) 😁. I feel better, my face isn’t as puffy- I’m amazed and want to tell everyone to try it and am very sad when they don’t want to listen🥺

Are there any episodes that discuss MS? I can’t seem to search for topics.

Hmmmm? Mr White seems to have a superiority issue. This is the first episode I've stopped before it was over. I love you Gin!
