In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Ashley Riegle from Raeford, 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. 

Ashley is a stay-at-home mom. In 2019, she found herself realizing gaining weight. Between the stress of a move to a completely new state and fertility meds to conceive, she gained 25 pounds in five months. Panicked, Ashley tried to find a way to lose weight. She stumbled upon IF and Gin’s book Delay, Don’t Deny after an internet search. 

Ashley began her IF journey in August of 2019, but did not lose weight for almost a year. She had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 20, and immediately felt better physically. Ashley knew IF was the answer! 

Ashley was able to conceive and stopped IF, then resumed IF after having her son. The weight came off with ease. 

Ashley feels a quiet calmness with IF. She has gone from 177 pounds to 137 pounds. She no longer needs one of her MS meds, sleeps well, and has loads of energy. Plus, Ashley is expecting her second son! 

Ashley’s advice: “Start slow and be gentle with yourself. Have a goal. Pay attention to how you feel. Let IF fit into your life, not the other way around.”
