Episode 101, Carmen Brown- Over 500 fasts a fantastic insight into a living a sustainable IF lifestyle longer term.

I am a homeschooling mother of 3 who also teaches private voice lessons and directs musical theater for students in middle school and high school and I have a very supportive husband in all of that! We enjoy the beautiful outdoors in Colorado! We enjoy camping as well and hiking,  paddle boarding and kayaking. Fasting has given me the freedom and the energy to finally truly enjoy these things with my family! I have fasted in the past. It actually helped me to lose weight in the past but I didn't know why or if it was really working because I was also training for a triathlon at the same time, in 2012, after having my 3rd child. I am not an athlete but I was trying to find acceptance in my body and prove that I could do something athletic! Unfortunately, this change didn't last long and I gained my weight back and kept it on for 8 more years! In June of 2020 I was ready for a change! I was tired of being tired and overweight. But I had sworn off diets and did not know what to do. That is when Delay, Don't Deny came into my life through my dear friend. I read that book in one sitting on June 20 and started that day! My first fast was 18 hours and I have been fasting at least 16 hours, but mostly 18-20 hours for 470 fasts now, I am closing in on 500 fasts! I have lost 30 pounds and kept it off! And I keep losing inches! I was in a tight plus sized 18W jean and am now in a regular size 14 jean. And I wore plus sized 1X shirts and now wear a Small or Medium.   Sincerely, Carmen Brown News.
