In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Deb Crosby, a nurse who lives near Ottowa, Canada. 

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. 

Deb shares that after having her first child at age twenty, she tried countless diets to lose the weight she gained while pregnant. 

When the pandemic of March 2020 hit, her gym was shut down. She then injured her knee and was unable to work in the ER, which forced her to take a desk job. Her wife was also deployed through the military. Deb felt deep sadness and found herself eating to cope.  

Months later, Deb had reached her highest weight of 236 pounds. She searched the internet for how to lose weight, and Delay ,Don't Deny popped up! Intermittent fasting made total sense to Deb, and she immediately began her IF lifestyle.  

Deb has lost 42 pounds and feels amazing. Her toxic relationship with food has healed, and she has learned to listen to her body. When her wife returned, she joined Deb in IFing, and they enjoy fasting and feasting together. 

Deb's advice: "Relax and let the magic happen. Don't expect anything to happen overnight."
