Gin Stephens is a New York Times best-selling author, an intermittent fasting expert and is a retired school teacher from Augusta Georgia in the United States. Gin joins my podcast to discuss Fast.Feast.Repeat., her new book. Gin also talks about her own incredible weight loss journey where she lost an amazing 80 pounds living an intermittent fasting lifestyle.

Gin takes us back to the beginning of her wildly successful Facebook groups which have grown to over 400000 members worldwide. She tells us about when she began dabbling with intermittent fasting some 11 years ago in 2009. and how she started, what her protocol was and her eating style and how she learnt to identify certain foods that didn't work for her.

We discuss exercise and weighing Gin tells us about the numberless Shapa scale that she has been using and is perfect for those who battle with reading numbers on a scale that can sometimes be disappointing and confusing. We discuss maintenance, gut microbiome, set points and the whoosh theory.

Gin also gives some advice on fasting during the pandemic. We close the show with some words of wisdom and motivation from Gin about how to start intermittent fasting and things to do along the way.
