Episode 169-Lisa Berg, losing 30 pounds in three months and maintaining that loss for 15 months, living an intermittent fasting lifestyle.

45 minutes

Back story: Christmas 2019: my sister had lost a bunch of weight and she looked fabulous plus my health insurance premiums were being determined by some biometrics and I could save money by getting them down. I knew what to do after all my years of yo-yo dieting. Eat less, move more, right? I started tracking my calories and exercised like crazy. In 9 months, I had lost 40#. I stayed at my goal weight for 2 whole weeks before I started gaining it back. A year later I had gained back 27#. There had to be a way to keep it off that had eluded me every other time. Two of my best friends on their own weight loss journeys told me about Jason Fung’s book The Diabetes Code and Gin Stephens’ Fast Feast Repeat. I loved the science stuff in Dr.Fung’s book and the easy how-to of Gin’s.

Then they told me about the Fasting Highway. I joined the Facebook group and devoured your book The Fasting Highway. My first fast (a clean one, always) was 16 hours. I’m not a breakfast eater and I love black coffee so I was halfway there already. Every couple of days I said, “that was easy, I’ll add another hour” and fell into OMAD pretty quickly. I lost back 30# in 3 months and have maintained for 14 months.

Stats: age 61, height 5’4”. Highest weight 183# (82kg), starting fasting weight 170# (77kg), current weight

fluctuates between 140-145# (65kg).
