In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Angie Gleason from Belmont, MI.

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. 

Angie is the mother of a special needs daughter. Angie was always "the bigger girl" amongst her friends. But it wasn't until after her pregnancy that she began to diet.  

In 2017, Angie first learned of IF from a walking buddy, but dismissed it entirely. Two years later, Angie realized her weight was affecting her ability to lift her daughter in and out of the wheelchair. In December of 2019, Angie came across the Delay, Don't Deny Facebook group, and joined. Angie's sister and sister-in-law decided they would all IF together!  

By January of 2020, Angie had lost 20 pounds. She has gone from 150 to 130 pounds. She is 4'11” and hopes to lose more weight over time.  

Angie has experienced decreased inflammation, her skin tags have fallen off, and scars have healed. She now has energy to care for her daughter. 

Angie's advice: " Be gentle with yourself. You didn't gain the weight overnight, and it won't fall off tomorrow! But be consistent, and it will happen eventually."
