In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Alexis Cano from Kingsville, TX. 

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. 

Alexis works she works for a local university. She is also the author of the book The What IF? Diet Plan. 

As a teenager, Alexis was morbidly obese at over 250 pounds. One day she skipped breakfast and felt great. She continued this secretly, and lost 40 pounds. But once in college, Alexis returned to eating all day and gained the weight back. It was then that she gave up: "I decided to accept my size," Alexis reflects. 

In February of 2018, Alexis found herself at over 200 pounds again. She stumbled upon the documentary The Science of Fasting and then the Intermittent Fasting Podcast. She had rediscovered IF! Alexis gradually eased into the lifestyle, and kept a journal as she did. Her journal became a blog, which then became her book. 

Alexis is no longer consumed with food. She has lost between 30-40 pounds and feels amazing. 

Alexis’ advice: “Start where you’re at, not where you think you should be. Try to do IF with love. IF is a tool of the mind and the body. Put the scale away for the first month. There is hope!”
