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.

At 25, Wendy was diagnosed with endometriosis and several years later had a hysterectomy. This put Wendy into early menopause and her weight began to climb. By Spring of 2018, she reached her highest weight and felt terrible. Wendy’s sister shared IF and Delay, Don’t Deny, and Wendy immediately began her IF journey. Her goal was related to her health, not her weight. Wendy has lost 4 inches off her waist, her allergies have improved, her skin tags are gone, she sleeps well, and she truly enjoys the freedom this lifestyle has brought. Wendy’s advice: Get your fasting insulin tested, as it will help you know how to eat. Just do it! Just live the IF lifestyle! Just do it! If I can do it, so can you! Get Gin’s books at: http://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html, including Cleanish and New York Times Bestseller, Fast. Feast.
