She tried diet pills and various ways of eating, but the weight she lost would come right back on. After her second pregnancy, Ashlee reached her highest weight and wanted to give up. Ashlee found an accountability group of women who followed Gin’s book Delay, Don’t Deny. This helped her to stay consistent with her IF lifestyle, but with all of the stress in her life, Ashlee stopped fasting. Then in May of 2021, Ashlee found the book, Breaking Free from Compulsive Eating and this changed her life. She switched to OMAD (One Meal a Day) and lost 30 pounds. Ashlee has learned that mindset is a powerful part of the IF lifestyle, and is thankful she has struggled with finding her way with IF so that she can help others. Ashlee’s advice: “Be consistent with IF and don’t overcomplicate it!” Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including Cleanish and New York Times Bestseller, Fast.

She became obese after college and stayed that way well after having her children. Michelle began her IF journey in 2020 when her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her sister heard that IF would help with chemotherapy, and Michelle began IF to support her sister in her journey.

She has gone from 248 pounds to 140 pounds! Michelle’s advice: “Take measurements in the beginning. Give yourself time to get used to IF. Read Delay Don’t Deny.

He tried many diets, and each time he would lose weight, then gain the weight back. In 2017, a friend shared a Dr. Fung video on IF with him, and it resonated with him. He immediately began his IF journey. Once reaching his goal weight, Loc became inconsistent with IF. But a gout diagnosis sent him back to IF with a renewed sense of purpose. For the last two years, Loc has been healing his body, his relationship with food, and the diet mindset that controlled him. He has not only lost weight, but his painful gout symptoms have disappeared. Loc feels he is now his ‘best self” and will always live the IF lifestyle. Loc’s advice: “Begin with your why. What is the life you want to build? This will help you to keep going. Start small. Start with where you feel comfortable and do it consistently for three weeks. IF will get easier! Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including Cleanish and New York Times Bestseller, Fast. Feast.
