Incorporating Exercise and Building Muscle While Fasting

In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Lauren Fockler, who lives just outside of Pittsburg, PA. 

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. 

Lauren is a veterinarian. She was morbidly obese as a child, being put on her first diet at the age of ten. She went on to try countless diets, but nothing was sustainable. 

In October of 2019, Lauren read The Obesity Code. The science made sense to her and she began her IF journey right away. Lauren then discovered Delay, Don’t Deny and joined the Facebook group. 

Lauren went from 330 pounds to 170 pounds and feels her best. Food no longer controls her. Lauren will live the IF lifestyle forever. 

Lauren’s advice: IF will get easier. Take measurements. Take ‘before’ pictures before beginning your IF journey.
