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.

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 . Hazel tried her first diet at 14 years old, and was always on a diet until she found intermittent fasting. By December of 2020, with two kids under three and a stressful year of Covid, Hazel found herself at her highest weight of 148 pounds (she is 4' 11”). She felt like a failure. In one of her Facebook groups, she read a post from someone who talked about intermittent fasting. Hazel did an internet search and found Gin's book Delay, Don't Deny . After reading it, Hazel knew that IF was the answer! Hazel has lost 25 pounds. Fasting has changed the way she approaches life, and she now feels in control. Her advice: "This is your journey. Go slow. Take it easy, and take it one day at a time. IF is for healing, not just weight loss. Think of it as an approach for the rest of your life, not just temporarily."
