Tina’s Intermittent Fasting Success Story

“I have battled my weight for the last 20 years, trying every diet at one point or another with little success. After seeing pictures of myself from my daughter’s open house in June of 2021 I made a decision to do whatever I could to lose weight. My oldest daughter was getting married in June 2022 and I didn’t want to hate the way I looked in every picture.

I was so desperate I considered gastric bypass surgery but decided to give myself one last chance to do it on my own. First, I started with a keto diet, which I had some success with in the past, and a consistent exercise routine. I was seeing some results but they were very slow. With the encouragement of a coworker, I started intermittent fasting in the fall of 2021.

CLEAN VS DIRTY FASTING

The problem was I did not properly educate myself on how to fast and was consistently dirty fasting. By November, I was down 30 pounds and was feeling good about my results. The holiday parties and meals that followed set me back 10 pounds.

Early January, I was so discouraged that I had allowed myself to slip backwards and had spent the last 7 months working hard to have only lost 20 pounds. I needed to focus if there was any chance of me getting the results I had been working so hard towards.

A few days later Jen started her Facebook Intermittent Fasting group and it was exactly what I needed at that time. I joined the group and immediately read Delay don’t deny, after Jen’s recommendation, and my mind was blown!! I could relate to the lifelong weight struggles and finally understood what it meant to fast and what I needed to do to correct what I had done to my body for years.

Tina’s Preferred Fasting Schedule

I jumped both feet in and started IF immediately doing a 20:4 fasting routine and continuing my keto diet in my eating hours. Then, I started tracking my water intake and realized how underhydrated I was. I set goals for myself weekly and started tracking everything I was doing so I could better understand what was or wasn’t working for me. Within two weeks I had drastically changed my eating habits and lifestyle.

It didn’t take me long to realize I had insulin resistance and it was going to take me awhile to work at correcting this before I was going to see the results I was hoping for. I was losing weight but very slowly, although I was watching my body shape change dramatically. I was losing inches but not much weight. By week 3, I was now practicing a 22:2 fasting schedule, drinking about a gallon of water a day, losing about 1.5 pounds/week, and had lost 1″ on my body measurements.

Breaking My Fast with Apple Cider Vinegar

Then I started breaking my fasts with Jen’s ACV appetite correction drink ! That took some getting used to! I was already starting to feel a lot of non weight loss victories! My consistent headaches I had weekly were gone. My knees and hips that consistently hurt were no longer hurting. And, my energy levels dramatically increased.

EXTENDED FASTING

On week 5, I challenged myself to do my first extended fast of 44 hours. I had no idea if I was going to be able to accomplish this. I ended up being amazed how easy it really was. All mind over matter. My body was not craving food…but my mind was another story but I did it.

I felt so amazing and accomplished that I made a commitment to do an extended fast once a week. This is when I really started to see more weight loss averaging 3-5 pounds a week. By the time of the wedding on 6/18/22 I had lost 62 lbs. I couldn’t believe how much better both I felt physically and mentally.

Honestly, I cannot foresee myself living any other way for the rest of my life. I have since gone on several vacations and allowed myself to eat differently. Then, I just increased my eating window but jumped right back into IF when the vacations were over. I’ve consistently seen success and loss and I am thrilled to be down 70 pounds. I have also lost 5″ on my measurements at this point.

Blessed to Have Found “IF”

I still have a ways to go to reach my goal weight but I now know this is something I can achieve with IF. But, I feel so blessed that Jen’s Facebook Support group came into my life when it did. I continue to be educated and inspired by everyone in it weekly!
