In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Lori Barker, who lives just outside of Eugene, OR. 

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. 

Lori is a payroll administrator. She shares that she was never a dieter, but still struggled with her weight. She learned of intermittent fasting from her eye doctor, and did some research. After reading Delay, Don’t Deny, Lori began her IF journey in August of 2017. 

Lori found IF to be easy. She quickly dropped 10 pounds, and lost all the weight she needed to lose. But suddenly Lori began to struggle, and eventually gained back all the weight. This cycle happened yet again. 

Lori is focusing on her health for now, and knows the weight loss will come. She is no longer pre-diabetic, her cholesterol has come down, and her acid reflux is gone. IF has healed her relationship with food, and helped her to cope with anxiety. 

Lori’s advice: “Make a mental shift. Go into IF with the health aspect, not just the weight loss.”
