    Marion is a Pilates instructor. She first heard of fasting around 2018-2019, but she wasn’t ready and filed the information away. During the early stages of the pandemic in 2020, she heard about it again and was ready to dig in a bit more.

    The discussion shines a light on Marion's battle with disordered eating, a struggle to break free from the dieting cycle, and her extensive research into the fasting lifestyle, with notable references to books by Jason Fung and Gin's book, Fast Feast Repeat. Marion's intermittent fasting journey is as much about self-discovery and health as it is about weight management.

    Marion describes the improved clarity of thought and increased productivity that comes with being in a fasted state. Their conversation underscores the personalization and flexibility of fasting schedules, as Marion adjusts her patterns to suit her professional teaching duties and rigorous exercise regimen.

    Marion has enjoyed improved skin, more muscle tone, an energy surge that fuels her passion for running, and a younger biological age, all while maintaining a naturally intuitive approach to her fasting regimen—a cornerstone of Marion's fasting experience. Gin's message about the importance of not comparing one's fasting experience to another's resonates throughout the episode, endorsing a journey tailored to individual needs and responses.

    As the episode draws to a close, Marion offers heartfelt advice to newcomers in the fasting community. Her key takeaway encourages individuals to trust their instincts, eschew rigid adherence to fasting schedules, and focus less on the numbers on a scale and more on the transformative journey that lies ahead. Marion's story is a beacon of hope for listeners, evidencing the profound capability of intermittent fasting to revolutionize one's lifestyle when approached with patience and self-compassion.

    Susanne is a retired medical writer. Susanne shares her past struggles with weight gain following college, her numerous attempts at different diets leading to a cycle of loss and regain, and her discovery of IF which introduced a new chapter of health and wellness into her life.

    Susanne describes her earlier days trying various diets like Weight Watchers and low-carb, each providing temporary success but ultimately failing due to constant cravings and an unenjoyable restriction. It wasn't until 2018, upon reading The Obesity Code by Jason Fung, that Susanne decided to try IF, quickly finding her stride with the Delay, Don't Deny approach and the clean fast.

    Susanne has settled into a hybrid approach, with one down day each week. Her down day routine includes black coffee in the morning and water for the day, while her up days are more relaxed. She prefers the full fast down day option because she doesn’t want to count calories, something she admits she is triggered by.

    Gin points out the essential nature of personalizing IF to suit individual preferences and lifestyles, affirming that there isn't one universally superior fasting method. We each get to tweak it till it’s easy!

    Susanne has returned to her college clothing size and has managed to maintain her weight through a combination of discipline and a joyful approach to IF, highlighting the importance of enjoyment over willpower. 

    Susanne‘s advice: Susanne emphasizes the power of mindset and self-talk in achieving success as an intermittent faster. She underscores how important it is to enjoy the process and make the lifestyle both sustainable and pleasurable. Her parting advice is for others to be patient, stay positive, and find joy in the journey, advocating for a gentle approach when sharing IF with the curious, reinforcing that it's all about helping those who are ready to embrace the change.

    Liz is a director of sales and marketing for a lifeplan retirement community. She opens up about her long-standing battle with her weight, including a history of trying a variety of diets. Despite initial weight loss success with each, she found herself in a cycle of weight regain over the years. However, in 2021, Liz discovered intermittent fasting and experienced significant change, losing 30 pounds in 10 months. Her journey evolved into learning to listen closely to her body's appetite cues and focusing on how to meet her body’s nutritional needs.

    Gin and Liz engage in a discussion about the mental shift away from "diet brain," focusing instead on listening to your body. Liz shares her experiences with intermittent fasting, at times feeling the challenge of restrictions and weight fluctuation, while gravitating toward clean eating. Emphasizing the importance of food quality, Liz tells listeners about her most recent lifestyle switch that includes healthier eating experiences within her window.

    Liz leaves us with valuable advice: it is important to honor your unique journey, maintain trust in the intermittent fasting process, and focus on nourishing your body with quality foods. She reminds us that the commitment to a healthier lifestyle will unfold with patience and dedication. The real takeaway is to find satisfaction in the balance and to keep moving forward, despite the inevitable challenges along the way.

  • In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Anne Scherliess from Germany.

    In this episode, Anne and Gin delve into the complexities of intermittent fasting for anyone with a history of eating disorders, the importance of professional guidance, and the profound emotional healing they've both experienced through this lifestyle change. Anne is an actress. Her story begins with a mystery illness that led to severe water retention in 2021, which had the potential to significantly impact her acting career. Despite visits to multiple doctors, her medical issue remained undiagnosed until she finally met with a nephrologist who helped her solve the issue.

    Anne then dives deep into her history of eating disorders, rooted in her family's fear of gaining weight. Her struggle with self-perception began at a young age, including bouts of anorexia and bulimia and emotional guilt around food which unfortunately affected her younger sister as well.

    In a heart-to-heart dialogue, both Anne and Gin explore the toxicity of diet culture, their personal battles with obesity and different types of disordered eating, and how intermittent fasting offered them freedom from persistent diet thoughts. Anne credits "The End of Cravings" audiobook for her shift away from artificial sweeteners and a deeper understanding of the role of processed foods in hunger.

    Intermittent fasting information from health industry figures like Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Dr. Sachin Panda, and Dr. Jason Fung, along with Fast Feast Repeat, emerged as influential in Anne's fasting journey.

    intermittent fasting helped Anne reclaim her relationship with food and her body, liberating her from the fear that once consumed her.

    Anne’s advice:

    Read Gin’s books—they tell you everything you need to know. Don’t be rigid with your window. Give your body time to repair each day. Learn to trust your body.

    Troy is a professional truck driver and also a musician. He shares his early life experiences growing up in a tavern environment, his battle with alcoholism, and his experience with substance abuse, ending with a recovery process via a twelve-step program and inpatient rehab at the age of 34.

    Gin and Troy talk about the importance of non-scale victories and the remarkable improvements in Troy's physical, mental, and spiritual health since he started intermittent fasting. They touch on the misconceptions about eating windows and the metabolic benefits of finding a balanced approach to fasting.

    Troy’s story is not just about intermittent fasting – it's about personal growth, self-discovery, and the sometimes difficult path to self-improvement. He highlights how his commitment to change has led to his body feeling satisfied and on a path to better health.

    Advice from Troy:

    Initially, early on, I wanted to preach on this to anybody that listened. Now, I have a link on my phone and a picture of Gin’s book just saved in my photos, and I can just show people. If you really want to know what I'm doing and about the changes you see in me, this is it. If you really want to know, get this book, read the book, and then we can talk about it. As for IF, just trust in it. No matter how it works in the first week or the first month or whatever, just trust in it.

  • In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Zoraida from Southern California.

    Zoraida is a director of accounting. She started exploring intermittent fasting as a way to find a sustainable solution after having her children. She had experimented with various diets but nothing seemed to provide lasting results. Everything changed when she picked up Gin's book Delay, Don't Deny, prompting her to start her own IF journey on April 19, 2020.

    Zoraida shares the numerous health benefits she's experienced since starting intermittent fasting. She was pre-diabetic with high insulin levels. Following her IF lifestyle, she's seen improvements in her insulin markers, reduced inflammation, she gained mobility, and even began fitting into her old clothes again. These victories extended beyond the scale, contributing to her overall well-being and confidence.

    Zoraida discusses the impact her intermittent fasting journey has had on her family. Her children have followed suit in adopting healthier eating habits, and though her son was initially skeptical about fasting, he has become more curious about its benefits. Both Zoraida and Gin highlight the importance of having support from their families as they navigated through their dietary changes.

    During the episode, we hear about lifestyle shifts and dietary changes like Zoraida transitioning from adding creamer to her coffee to enjoying it black. We also dive into the struggles Gin and Zoraida faced with food, especially processed foods that are engineered to be irresistible. Zoraida admits her challenges with sweets, while Gin speaks about her weakness for cheesy, crunchy snacks. Both emphasize the importance of finding a balance and the power of self-awareness regarding food choices.

    As the episode concludes, Zoraida offers heartfelt advice for anyone at the beginning of their intermittent fasting path: Give yourself grace and be patient with yourself. Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle, not a quick fix, and it's important to expect and accept changes as part of the process.

For many years, she struggled with emotional eating and used food for comfort. This created both weight gain and shame. By 2019, Kym was over 200 pounds and knew that she needed to do something about her weight. When Kym discovered Delay, Don’t Deny, she felt that IF was the answer to her weight battle.

    Kym has lost 30 pounds, and both her A1C and fasting insulin have lowered. She now focuses on loving herself and has healed the shame that once bound her.

    Kym’s advice: Just start IF and don’t give up. Make yourself a priority. Not every day will be perfect.

    Mari is a retired dance movement therapist and a retired family and child therapist.

    Growing up, Mari was a dancer and always felt she needed to be thinner. She followed a variety of diets and lost weight but would gain it back, plus more. After a major illness, Mari put on weight that she could not lose. Looking back, she sees that this began a battle with her body. When Mari reached 154 pounds, she gave up.

    In 2019, Mari came across a post in a Facebook group on Gin’s book, Delay, Don’t Deny. After reading it, Mari immediately began her IF journey. She lost more than 20 pounds and feels her best.

    Mari’s advice: IF is easier than you think. The adaptation phase is the hardest part but you’ll get through it. Fast clean. You’ll learn to listen to your body and trust it. You’ll become aligned and no longer fight against it.

    Melissa is a real estate agent.  Growing up, she was never skinny but wanted to be. She tried many diets, and she tracked calories and measured food, but could never sustain the weight loss.

    In 2022, Melissa was diagnosed with ADHD. Her doctor suggested that she try IF to help with symptoms. After researching IF, Melissa found Fast Feast Repeat and began her journey.

    She has lost 30 pounds. Melissa better understands her ADHD and feels she is no longer working against her body. She enjoys the energy and peace IF has brought to her life.

    Melissa’s advice: Be patient. IF can take time but you will better understand yourself in the process.

    Joanna is a life coach and a weight loss coach. She tried countless diets over the years but could never maintain the weight she lost. When she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, Joanna knew she needed to improve her health.

    Tawnya is a program specialist. She was overweight from the time she was a young girl. She followed countless diets and by the time she reached her highest weight of 265 pounds, she simply gave up.

    At the end of 2021, Tawnya’s health began to suffer. She was prediabetic, she had high blood pressure and sleep apnea, and she suffered from migraines. Feeling miserable, Tawnya decided to take charge of her health. She found Gin, as well as her IF books podcasts through several Google searches.

    Tawnya began her IF journey in July of 2022 and has lost almost 100 pounds. All of her health issues have resolved and Tawnya sees how IF was the answer for which had been searching for so many years.

    Tawnya’s advice: Hunger should not be feared. You will learn so much about your body by living the IF lifestyle. It will change your relationship with food and with yourself.

    Judith is a minister and wedding officiant. She struggled with her weight for many years. She followed numerous diet programs over the years. But by Easter of 2021, Judith found herself at 405 pounds. She knew something must change and in her search for yet another diet, stumbled upon intermittent fasting. Judith immediately began her IF journey and lost 30 pounds of inflammation with ease.

    In August of 2021, Judith’s husband was diagnosed with stomach cancer but through all of the challenges, Judith stayed committed to IF. Looking back, she sees that IF was her lifeline and source of comfort during a very stressful and difficult time.

    Judith has gone from 405 pounds to 268 pounds, and she’s continuing to lose weight. She loves the energy IF brings and loves her body for the first time.

    Judith’s advice: Take “before” pictures. Constantly self-examine along the way. Have determination and stamina!

    Shelly is a retired executive assistant. Though Shelly never truly struggled with her weight, she never felt thin enough. For many years, she followed medical diets and used diet pills, but would always gain back the weight.

    At the end of 2020, Shelly searched for another diet book and stumbled upon Delay, Don’t Deny. Intermittent fasting made sense to her and she began her IF journey. Shelly was determined to work on both her body image and to learn to enjoy food.

    Shelly lost 30 pounds. She has reduced inflammation, has loads of energy, and feels healthy. She also views her body in a new way.

She struggled with bulimia in her teens but was able to heal from it.

    In 2018, Emma was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. In her search to reduce inflammation, Emma stumbled upon one of Gin’s IF podcasts. She began her IF journey and lost weight, but with the pandemic lockdown and the loss of her father, gained what she lost. IF became inconsistent.

    In March of 2023, Emma decided to restart her IF journey. While weight loss has been slow, Emma loves how IF makes her feel.

    Emma’s advice: Don’t compare yourself to others. Prepare yourself to be a study of one!

    Christine is a video producer. 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.

Amanda had struggled with energy, so this intrigued her! She found the IF Stories podcast along with Delay, Don’t Deny, and gradually began her IF journey. Amanda immediately felt better. She also discovered the foods that worked best for her and lost 40 pounds.

    Amanda wrote a book about her journey through ADHD and hopes it will help women struggling with the same. You can find ADHD Chronicles on Amazon or Kindle.

    Hrönn works in hand knitting and design. 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.
