In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Sarah Samuel from Asheville, NC. 

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. 

Sarah is a podcaster and artist. She shares that dieting and weight loss have been a major focus in her family. Her parents were always dieting, which became Sarah’s focus as well.

After gaining a great deal of weight, Sarah sought a different way to lose than she had her entire life and came across tapping for weight loss. Her tapping coach also shared intermittent fasting with her, and Sarah began to do some research. 

She read Fast Feast Repeat, The Obesity Code, and listened to the Intermittent Fasting podcast. Sarah began with 16:8, and gradually shortened her window. She doesn’t focus on the scale, but how her clothes fit. 

Sarah’s advice: “Start slow. Trust your body. Let yourself slowly work up to the fast that feels right. IF is a lifestyle, so you can be flexible.”
