In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Kris Frantz-Shoaf from Columbus, OH.
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.
Kris is a Deaconess at a local church. She shares that she was always thin, but after getting married and having children, began to struggle with her weight.
Kris learned of IF from a close friend whose doctor had recommended it. Kris read both Delay, Don't Deny and The Obesity Code, and began her IF journey on July 1, 2019. She started with 16:8, and easily moved to 18:6. Kris knew right away that IF would be something she would do for the rest of her life. This mindset helped her to settle into this new lifestyle.
Kris went from her highest weight of 190 pounds to around 152-155 pounds, and from a size 14 to a size 8-10. She has experienced wonderful health benefits: her skin tags, mouth sores and plantar fasciitis are gone, and she is no longer prediabetic!
Kris' advice to the new IFer: Take "before" pictures. Know that IF is going to be your normal way of life. Let go of expectations. Think of how great you'll feel three months from now!
