In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Margret, an Icelander living in Ireland.

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.

Margret is a makeup artist and busy mother of three. Margret shares that beginning at age twelve, she began to struggle with her weight.

Over the course of many years, she tried countless diets, shakes, and programs. After having her third child, Margret found herself at 297 pounds. And when she saw herself in family photos, Margret knew it was time to do something.

A friend told her about intermittent fasting, and in August of 2020, she began her IF journey. Margret found the IF Stories Podcast and read Fast Feast Repeat. She eased into fasting, and landed on a 20:4 protocol. She has lost 132 pounds.

Margret has experienced better sleep, calmness around food, and shenow listens to her body: "My body finally gets a seat at the table."

Margret's advice: "Do one thing at a time. Don't conquer the world in the first week. Start slow. It's important how you speak to yourself. Do IF because you love your body, not because you hate it.”
