I'm Amy, and I found IF right as the world was starting to catch on to the fact that COVID-19 was about to hit us: Hitting Asia (1st), then Europe (2nd) and N. American (Next), I felt I had hit an all-time low in energy levels towards the end of 2019. My weight was creeping up, I was anxious, my skin was dry and red, and my joints hurt - it was a hard

Like many of you, my relationship with diets and eating had been a struggle for a while - with limited results. I knew I needed to try something new. So, in May 2020, I started IF. I read Dr Fung's book (first), then somehow saw some before/after pictures of Graeme Currie on Instagram (as I was doing research)and then joined Gin's FB group (ultimately reading DDD, and FFR) - I am not entirely sure on the full order of events to how I found your story. Frankly,

I fast every day - I am usually 18:6, but I vary. I have lost

Hello, I’m Tara, and I’m from Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada. I will have been fasting for four years on January 17, 2025. 

 I am a 48-year-old mother of four children, ages eleven to twenty-two. Even with university and starting their first jobs, even the older ones are often home, and family life continues to be as busy as ever.

 One of the key elements of my success has been surrounding myself with like-minded people focused on weight loss and health. I have a fantastic group of friends on Facebook who have been together for about 12 years. We all have different nutritional and fitness approaches

As the year winds up for 2024, our last Q and A session comes from questions that our Patreon members have sent in about living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle and related things.

Thank you for being so supportive in 2024. We look forward to seeing you when our guests return next year to share more inspirational stories.

As we take a break due to travel, we go back to Episode 151 with Netta Gorman,, in which she and I discuss issues with sugar and some practical advice and tips for dealing with it. We resume our regular podcast lineup next week when we return.

Show Notes from Episode 151

Netta was desperate to overcome her debilitating health issues. She struggled with chronic constipation, headaches, achy joints, uncomfortable extra pounds, energy slumps, anxiety, mood swings, and more. By 45, she’d tried everything… except for one solution! Cut sugar. But she resisted it – until she realized that “nothing changes if nothing changes”. It started as a temporary 2-week experiment to cut sugar, flour and sweeteners in July 2015. And to her amazement, Netta began to feel so much more energetic and vitalized that she carried on… and it’s been 7 years and counting! Now, Netta shares her voyage of self-discovery that transformed her relationship with sugar and her need for comfort foods. Netta is also the creator of the 12-week Life After Sugar Program, which empowers people who are open-minded and slightly rebellious to let go of sugar for good. She also offers a safe, private community that provides support and accountability in the After Sugar Club membership. Her passion is to guide people who struggle with cravings and mindless eating so that they can learn to let go of sugar, gain energy and confidence, and make their intermittent fasting lifestyle easy and natural. Find Netta here: aftersugarclub.com. Press kit available upon request to contact Netta: [email protected] As featured in Life After Sugar, Netta is inspiring thousands as the host of the Life After Sugar podcast, ranked in the US Top 100 nutrition podcasts with over 200K downloads in its first two years

Episode 250 is hosted by my forever girl, Lou Collins, who has had some severe health challenges over the past two years, as you will hear in the episode. A candid chat about the milestone of 250 episodes, check-in with my journey, and how The Fasting Highway has evolved into a global community that practices Intermittent Fasting. I am super proud of Lou who reaches out in a very public place for help in such a brave way,

Bio by Karen Hobson

It has been nearly 2 years since my first interview with Graeme -Episode 166 March 2023.

I am now 82 and have been on maintenance since then. I initially lost 54 lbs. I was down to 128. During these last 2 years, my weight has gone between 129 and 132. The highest it has been was 134. I have been weighing daily to determine what foods cause water gain. My clothes still fit the same. Doing a 40-42 hr fast is the only way I can lose the water weight. It seems more challenging for me to do the longer fasts now. With my 60 years of diet history, I don’t want to find myself back up in weight again. IF is my way of life
