About this episode
In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Jackie Arena from Kingston, MA. 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 . After seeing herself in pictures from her 32nd birthday, Jackie realized it was time do something about her weight. She had heard about IF from friends who were a part of the Delay, Don't Deny Facebook support group. In August of 2019, Jackie began IF with a 16:8 protocol, eventually moving to OMAD (One Meal A Day). She then settled into ADF (Alternate Day Fasting) with a 36:12 protocol. After a year of the IF lifestyle, she had lost 82 pounds, going from 202 pounds to 120 pounds. She currently maintains between 122-128. Jackie feels amazing! She is off depression and anxiety meds, and and her asthma is gone. Jackie's advice to new IFers: "This is your life. Live it. No excuses."
