    I am obsessed with IntermittentFasting! It’s magic! Clean fast, and the rest is magic!

    o After reading Delay Don’t Deny by Gin Stephens, I began IF January 2019–5 years ago, weighing205 lbs.

    o I am 5’2” tall and currently weigh 134 lbs., maintaining 132-135 for two years.

    o Total weight loss 71 lbs.

    o I wear size Small to Medium, size 8 clothes.

    o I am healthy!

    o I walk andswim in summer for exercise.

    o I have so muchenergy!

    o I drink onlyblack coffee, unsweetened teas and water while fasting.

    o I eat whatever I want during my window, opting for mostly healthy choices. I eat all the things, keeping it simple. No Keto, no calorie counting. I have always hated that in previous diets, and I have tried them all. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Atkins and I have taken diet pills. I lost weight but never stayed with it and would gain all the weight back, plus some.

  • Tracey is 54 years old and lives in Iowa. She is married toher high school sweetheart and the love of her life. They have 3 grown daughters and 3 granddaughters. Family is a huge part of her “why” for finally deciding in 2022 that it was time to focus on her physical health and prioritise her well-being. In her school days, Tracey was fit and athletic. Her daily activities covered the poor eating habits she developed in her teen years. Once college came, the activity decreased, and poor food choices continued; 30 years of yo-yo dieting followed. Tracey was always looking for a quick fix and focused solely on the scale and her appearance. She now reflects and understands the abuse she put her body through for years. Tipping the scales in late 2019 at almost 200 pounds on her 5’4” frame, fatigue, joint pain and pre-diabetes were taking its toll. Tracey and her husband were empty nesters and new grandparents, and she began to realize her lifestyle would keep her from enjoying the best years of her life ahead of them. Her mindset was shifting, and a journey was underway. She had no idea how much healthier and happier her future was about to become. When she reached out to her physician one more time for help, she was told if she couldn’t go more than a couple hours before getting “hangry”, she shouldn’t consider intermittent fasting and maybe try the Mediterranean diet. That conversation planted a seed for intermittent fasting because, after all, if Tracey is told she can’t do something, she tends to think to the contrary. Over the next couple of years, she discovered Gin Stephens and Dr. Fung, read their books and then tucked them away until August 2022, when her mindset was fully on board for finally making a lifestyle change. She got the books outagain and began her true IF journey. Along the way she discovered podcasts and Facebook groups, which led herto The Fasting Highway. To date, Tracey has lost almost 60 pounds, gained numerous NSV’s and turned her health around! She lives an active life with her husband of 32 years and can now keep up with her family! She practiced dental hygiene for 15 years and in 2020, made a careerchange to the business side of dental where she became a practice manager at a dental office. She enjoys long walks, landscaping, listening to podcasts and spending as much time with her family. Tracey considers herself one blessed lady!

  • My name is Helen Blicharz. I am a 50-year-old mother of three. I also have a wonderful husband, John, and the cutest little Beagle named Bingo. I work for a Lutheran Church, and I have a member, Shelley Beck, who introduced me to your podcast. She also encourages me to share my story with you and has been doing so for over a year; I've been hesitating as I am still on my weight loss journey. I have been pretty much overweight most of my life or at least after I graduated college. I tried just about every diet out there Weight Watchers, Liquid diets. Nutrisystem's Jenny Craig, you name it. Various things worked throughout the years, but nothing never worked or help me loose weight. In 2018, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and my doctor told me that mostpeople were not successful in losing weight on their own and that I had really good insurance, and she recommended weight loss surgery. I was really offended, but I found out later that she was in her residency and was using a reverse psychology tactic, which worked for me. I told her that I have never truly tried to lose weight on my own, and I think Icould do it with some guidance. So I started out giving up sugar for 21 days, and that led me to a low-carb diet. Which eventually led to keto. And I lost 25 lbs. When I went back to the doctor, she was very happy, and that started my journey to where I am today. I did not stay with Keto, but I was introduced to intermittent fasting. COVID and why everyone else gained weight I was losing because I had more control and I didn't have insulin spikes. The keto diet helped me too. Gain the confidence I needed to find another lifestyle which was intermittent fasting. Three years later I still Fast, Feast & Repeat. Mostly. I have a four-hour window, so I fast for 20 hours, and sometimes, on the weekend, I openmy window up for 8 hours to switch it up. I have lost 110 lbs. total so far, and although I am currently not at my goal weight and still have 50 lbs. to go, I know I will get there.

  • Jules is a 53 years old woman, married, with three beautifulchildren and living the dream in Western Australia (WA). Her passions, besides her vocation are, yoga, bush walking, going to the beach and reading. Jules is a family therapist for a not-for-profit women’s health organisation and dearly loves her work. Previously, she was a registered nurse; she trained and then worked in Victoria and the UK. She lived there for 15 years, and she met her lovely Englishmen. Jules had two of her children in the UK, and they all moved to her hometown in Victoria, where she had her third child in 2007. Then, they moved from Victoria to WA in 2010 due to hubby's work commitments.

    During Jules’s third pregnancy, in 2006, she developed gestational diabetes, which sparked off an intentional health journey. Having gestational diabetes meant she had to test fasting blood sugar levels all the time, just like a type 1 diabetic. And, since 2007 has needed to have fasting BSL’s annually and Fasting Glucose Tolerance Test every three years. Also, Jules’sgrandmother had type 2 diabetes and unfortunately had to have one of her toes amputated and was on daily oral medication. So, with these two factors in Jule’s medical and family history, Jules was determined to avoid acquiring type 2 diabetes. Disappointingly, Jules was quite discouraged by GP’s saying eachyear, when she would go in to see them for the blood work results, that she would inevitably get it and there was nothing to be done to prevent it. Then, with a few changes in Jules’s health, well-being and significant life events, Jule’s blood results started to deteriorate, and she feared the worst. Then, thankfully, in 2018, Julie discovered a tool called Intermittent fasting; at the time, when she was going down the rabbit hole of YouTubelectures about sugar and insulin from Dr Robet Lustig at the University of California and then later came across the book The Diabetes Code, by Dr Jason Fung. This book, The Diabetes Code, changed her life forever, and not to mention saved her life.

    Before starting IF, Jules BSL’s were 6.8 mmol and rising, andnow, after six years of IF, they average around 4.8 mmol. Jules has had to tweak her IF regime, flipping back and forth from OMAD to ADF over the six years when optimal blood results have begun to waiver. Jules's primary focus is balancing her hormones, even though she weighs daily. For those that like numbers, Jules is 175 cm tall and before IF weighed 86kg and now maintains between 76-78kg. Has gone from a dress size of 16 to 12.

  • Erika Barnhart is a 43-year-old salon consultant who resides in Pennsylvania with her husband and three dogs. She had been struggling with weight issues since childhood and was overweight throughout most of her life. Over many years she has triednumerous diets since the age of 12, but her success was only temporary. Erika has always been fond of eating various foods, but she also enjoys eating in large quantities and feeling full. At the age of 13, she was diagnosed with high cholesterol and triglycerides but was never prescribed any medication. Then inearly 2023, she realized that she was procrastinating on scheduling her annual physical because she knew that the doctor would become more persistent about beginning a series of statin medication due to her high cholesterol. She also suffered from sleep apnea, used a CPAP machine, and had been experiencing plantar fasciitis in her right foot, causing her to limp. She felt unnaturally old, defeated, and unhealthy for her age. Shewas ready to make a change. She began looking for a sustainable and cost-effective plan to become healthier. As well as not wanting to take any medications unless necessary.

    Erika’s work involves a hybrid environment, including working from home, local, and overnight travel. She attends many business luncheons and events, so finding something to fit into her ever-changing routine is essential.

    In March 2023, Erika finally discovered the freedom she had been seeking through fasting, and within about ten months, she lost 87 pounds (39.5kg). Erika achieved this by practising various fasts and focusing on nourishing foods. She appreciates the flexibility of fasting and incorporates it into her routine frequently. She has tried several fasts, such as Intermittent Fasting, Alternate Day Fasting (ADF), and Modified Alternate.Day Fasting (MADF), and One Meal a Day (OMAD). Also, she occasionally includes 48-60-hour fasts. Fasting has helped Erika gain more clarity, perspective, and patience, and the best part is that fasting doesn't cost anything! The flexibility has also made it easy to work into her ever-changing schedule. She's also excited to incorporate some yoga and weight training as soon as she begins working towards achieving her goal body. She’s also looking forward to hiking with her dogs once the weather improves in the spring.

  • Growing up in rural Tennessee, Gretchen Bates was always very active. She spent long summer days in her childhood exploring the woods, swimming in creeks, and playing with friends. As a teenager and young adult, Gretchen was competitive insports and was an avid cyclist, kayaker, open-water swimmer and triathlete. By her early 30s, she had completed her first full-length Ironman competition, logged over 15,000 miles on her bike, and finished three separate, fully independent bicycle tours. At 5’6” tall (167 CM) and 160 pounds (73 kg), she was a healthy, athletically built woman. By her late 30s, Gretchen left her physically active career to return to school for her Masters Degree. She started a new career after graduation, leading tolong hours behind a desk. The new stationary career and her naturally slowing metabolism started to take its toll. By her 40th birthday, Gretchen weighed 185 pounds (84 kg). To control her weight, she spent several years experimenting with low-calorie and fad diets. Nothing seemed to work.

    At 44 years old, Gretchen’s weight ballooned again when her mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Gretchen became her primary caregiver, took on the management of her mother’s small business, and was responsible for her mother’s personal and health affairs, all while juggling her career. The weight of being a full-time caregiver left Gretchen physically and emotionally exhausted. Like many caregivers, she was chronically stressed and started suffering from depression. Simultaneously, the Covid pandemic swept through North America, her mother’s condition worsened, and by 46 years old, Gretchen had reached her all-time highest weight of 220 pounds (100 kg). A sudden health scare forced Gretchen to take a hard look at her lifestyle and to make drastic changes to reclaim her health. After 15 monthsof Intermittent Fasting, Gretchen reached her goal weight range of 140-150 pounds (63-68 kg). She continues to try new fasting protocols and works to strengthen her fasting muscles by practising TRE, mindful eating, and avoiding sugar and processed foods. She fully embraces her new fastinglifestyle and strives for optimal health.

  • By Joe Bernardo RN.

    My wife and I are Registered Nurses by profession. Despite knowing how to “eat healthy” and what the guidelines recommend, I found myself to be in the worst health and shape about a year and three months ago. I was 42 years old, and my BMI breached 30; I had RA, sciatic issues, and undiagnosed sleep apnea. I was also getting short of breath with minimal activity. I also found out, later in my journey, that I had been pre-diabetic and possibly diabetic. This did not surprise me as I was addicted to sodas, often drinking 6-8 glasses with dinner! Unfortunately, I did not have any baseline labs drawn before fasting and keto, and I was already 5-6 months into it when I had my A1C completed.

    Fasting has changed our lives as all of my chronic and acute issues are now gone! I live out a baseline 18:6 protocol with extended water fasts of 36 hours and beyond biweekly!

  • Susanne struggled with her weight for most of her adult life, losing and re-gaining the same 30-odd lbs over and over and over. She tried several diets, including Weight Watchers, calorie counting, and keto. Although she lost weight with all the diets, none of them were sustainable, and the calorie counting, macro tracking, and food restrictions made her miserable. In 2019, she tried intermittent fasting and lost 38 lbs (17kg). Her weight before IF generally ranged from about 220 lbs (100kg) to 180 lbs (81kg). At 5’9” tall (1.75m) this had put her in the overweight to obese range for many years. After a slight adjustment in her maintenance routine, she has successfully kept the weight off and has settled in at 160-165 lbs (72-75kg), a weight she had not seen since her late 20s. Although she started fasting for the weight loss, she has keptdoing it for the many health improvements that fasting brought to her life.These included:

    · a reduction in bloodpressure and resting heart rate,

    · the elimination of plantarfasciitis, which she had since her 20s,

    · the elimination of dry eyes,which she had since her 30s,

    · the elimination of keratosispilaris (red bumps on skin) which she had since her teens,

    · significant reduction injoint pain and foot calluses.

    On most days, Susanne sticks to one meal a day (dinner) and generally eats between 5 and 9 pm. She is thrilled to have ditched the counting and tracking!

    Susanne is a retired scientist and medical writer. She and her husband spent nearly two years as nomads in the US and then New Zealand before moving to New Zealand in 2022. She’sa big fan of travelling, languages, pilates, hiking, gardening, cooking, wine, and dogs.

  • By Chrissy Carter I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager; after school, when I started working, I started dieting. I lost weight and got pregnant with my first; I only put on 2kgs my whole pregnancy, and I was lighter after I had her. I spent my 20s either pregnant or breastfeeding. After four children, I thought I was done, so I returned to the gym and lost weight, eating six small meals daily. I then stopped working at the gym, stopped working out, and then got pregnant again. After I had my last daughter, I struggled again to lose the weight I would lose then gain. Doing all the things I knew. Then, my marriage ended abruptly, and my weight piled on. When I met my now husband, I was at my heaviest, 120kgs, despite my age and weight being against me. At 44, I became pregnant with our son. I lost 10kgs when I was pregnant with him. Towards the end of 2019, I started Keto and, over six months, lost 30kgs.Then, due to lots of stress and not having time to look after me, I put it all back on. Three months before my 50th birthday I decided to start fasting again, I eat whole foods in my eating window. I wanted to lose 10kgs before my birthday, but I lost 20. Over the next six months, I lost another 15 kgs and have kept that off within 3kg on either side. I have lowered my BP and dropped from a size 20 to a size 12. I am blessed to walk along the beach at least 12km daily, sometimes double that. I am so grateful to Graeme Currie and the Fasting Highway family, who keep me on track.

  • Bio By Kathryn Sternfels

    I am 65 yrs. old. 5’1”. HW ever 250lbs. SW 221 lbs. CW 196 lbs. Loss of 25 lbs. since July 2023. I cut my insulin level from a 15 to an 8 in 3 months. On Dec. 13th, I’m having labs drawn, and I look forward to seeing the results and comparing them with last time. Cholesterol panel especially, as well as A1C.

    I am a retired registered nurse, and I was raised in the Northeast USA, in New England, in the State of Rhode Island. I am 5 years old. My dog Buddy and I moved to the coastal area of South Carolina.

    My weight started going up following my divorce, which was in 1991. I did not see that coming, and with two very young daughters, it completely shattered my hopes & dreams. I was suddenly in a life I didn’t recognize and never thought I’d be in. I admit I didn’t handle it well. Eventually, I settled into the 230-235 lbs. and stayed there for decades. I used food to take my emotional pain and to shield myself from the world.

    In 2019, I attended the wedding of my cousin Lisa’s daughter. We don’t get to see each other much in person, and I couldn’t believe how GREAT Lisa looked. Of course, I asked, and she said “intermittent fasting,” to which I was inertly horrified at hearing this and thought “, Oh! No way in hell would I even CONSIDER such a thing like that? Who would DO that???”. I felt that because I realised that I had always thought I knew what I was doing all my life. Ha! THAT joke was on me.

    During the following three years or so, I “dabbled” in IF. I read/internet searched/you, tubed/podcasted Jason Fung, Gin Stephens, you and anyone else whose name I heard mentioned by these people. Anything and everything I get my hands on to learn about IF and all the other health-related rabbit holes leads one down.

    I’ve taken part in the Zoe study, which was enlightening, and now I am entering my 2nd month of a 3-month subscription to Nutri and & am utilizing a CGM for the data. I am not diabetic.

  • Bio By Lisa Evers
    I don’t even know where to begin, But all my life, I have had
    digestive issues, so I have always been aware of what I was eating to notice how I felt. When I was young, it was IBS-d, then moved to constipation. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in my early 20s. After that diagnosis, I was worried that weight gain was going to be a side effect, so I started to do things
    to make sure that didn’t happen. I felt like I was becoming obsessed with staying the way I was. I have never had a weight issue, and I almost became “obsessed” with making sure I didn’t get one!  I did all the things not to gain weight and stay fit while trying to monitor my digestive issues. I was on some
    of the “plan” all the time, which led to a diet brain even though I had no weight to lose. This went on for almost 30 years; I found IF, and the rest of my story is about freedom! All my obsessions are starting to fade, and my mind is clear to think of the things that are important to me.

She has lost more than 50 pounds evenwhile going on vacations, holidays and other life stressors,and has now been maintaining her loss for more than 3 months.She has no plan to go back to a “regular” style of eating! Michelle loves hiking and outdoor activities such as kayaking and cross-country skiing.
