In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Melissa from San Jose, California.
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.
Melissa she is a mom with four kids. She is from Venezuela, home of the Miss Universe pageant, which means girls grow up under the pressure to be thin and beautiful. Once she moved to the United States and got married in 2002, Melissa began to gain weight. Her cycle of dieting began, but nothing worked. In 2022, defeated and discouraged, Melissa gave up.
In March of that same year, Melissa learned about IF through a podcast and did some research. She read Delay, Don’t Deny and began her IF journey with a 16:8 protocol. Melissa has lost 60 pounds, her skin has improved, she is happy, confident, and best of all, she feels like herself again.
Melissa’s advice: Don’t think you can’t do it. Read Gin’s books, listen to her podcasts, and change the messages you’ve been given.
