SandiPeiffer (Pie fur) has been happily married to her best friend for 36 yrs. She is a 58yr old mother of 4 (ages 18-31) and grandmother of 2(ages 2 and 1) who

lives on the Atlantic coast of Florida. She is a veteran homeschool mom of 26 years, her youngest is graduating this year. She enjoys walking, reading,
crafting, cooking and spending time with her family. As an adult Sandi has tried most of the diets, we have all heard of… Weight Watchers, Susan Powter Stop the Insanity, TOPS, The Zone Diet, 40-30-30, Shake diets, Suzanne Somers “Somersize”, South Beach, Atkins, The Rosedale Diet, etc.
Her real struggle with weight started when she went on an anti-depressant for anxiety. Then the pounds really started to pack on. 120 lbs by the time it was
all said and done. She found intermittent fasting after a diagnosis of Type 2. Diabetes with an A1C of 8.4, and a fasting glucose of 237. Though weight loss
has been a nice side benefit, she really has had the focus of reversing her diabetes. Starting IF in Dec. 2018, at 5’4” and 300 lbs. Now after 1565 days of
clean fasting, she is currently at 240 lbs, but more importantly to her, her A1C is 6.2 and her fasting glucose stays in the 120’s, without diabetes.
meds. She started IF by dipping her toe in the water, so to speak. With her previous health issues, especially her recent bout with Adrenal Fatigue, she was
determined to be gentle with her body. So she started with 14:10, clean fasting, and didn’t change her way of eating at all. After a couple of weeks, went up to
15:9, then did the same to get to 16:8 and 17:7. She actually lost most of her weight at 17:7, even though she went on to 18:6 and eventually 19:5. Doing
OMAD, “restaurant style” at 18:6 and 19:5. After 3 yrs of 19:5 OMAD, her body apparently said that was too stressful. Her cholesterol jumped very high, as
well as triglycerides and measures of inflammation. So, through working with a functional medicine Dr., she changed her IF schedule to 16:8 and her diet to a
modified Paleo plan. That did the trick and the problems have corrected, and she’s taken off an additional 10 lbs. We are all an experiment of one, and
sometimes we have to “tweak” how we practice IF. Listening to our bodies is so important!

Her husband also practices IF and has lost 65 lbs.
