Episode 244 Bahar Eken -The first six months of an Intermittent Fasting Journey . Losing 17kg -35 Pounds finding new found freedoms


Listen Later

Hi! I'm Bahar (B for short); I am 29 years old, a wife and mum to a 2-year-old and live in the UK. I work a full-time corporate job in London. Being Turkish, food is very important in our culture. I love cooking and experimenting with different recipes. I started fasting in March 2024 and have lost 17kg with intermittent fasting (nearly six months). I have always been conscious of my weight and put on weight over COVID-19 and during my pregnancy with my son. Following the birth of my son, I got up to my highest weight. I tried dieting and exercising, but this lasted for 2

months max. It was not sustainable. My brother mentioned intermittent fasting to me when my son was nearly 1. I didn't start fasting until almost a year later. I have enjoyed fasting and have started vlogging my journey on Instagram (@fastwithB) for accountability and to inspire others to start fasting, which I have been able to do as several family members have begun fasting. I have not yet reached my goal weight, but I hope to reach around 63kg by the end of the year.
