In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Karen Wheeler, a nurse from Kansas.
Are you looking for intermittent fasting support in a cozy community that celebrates the clean fast? Join us on the Delay, Don’t Deny Social Network! Instead of relying on the big social network most of us have been on for years, we now have a community that is completely separate and just for us, with a variety of groups you can join for the support and community you need.
You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she’ll 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, and both Gin and the other group members will walk virtually beside you each day of your FAST Start.
Members of the DDD Social Network have access to all episodes of Intermittent Fasting Stories streaming within the DDDSN platform, ad-free! That’s just one reason to join.
Visit dddsocialnetwork.com to join our membership community. An annual membership is $59.95. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for $9.99 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 dddsocialnetwork.com.
In July of 2019, Karen began the IF lifestyle for the health benefits, though she dieted on and off for many years prior to IF.
Karen has an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's, which is where the immune system attacks the thyroid. Constantly exhausted, and desperate to feel better, she searched for a diet that would help with her Hashimoto's. She found Dr. Jason Fung and intermittent fasting in her search.
Karen immediately began a 16:8 protocol, and within three days, she felt so much better! Within six weeks, she had lost 20 pounds. All of her doctors love IF, and support her completely. Karen has lost a total of 52 pounds, going from 218 pounds to 167 pounds.
Karen's advice to new IFers: "Be flexible. Do what feels right to you. Don't get caught in the rules...except the clean fast!"
